I would go for a SAF out of the three!
But any of the three is likely to put a smile on your face!  :D

Black Cat, Talisman, Redback, or lots of other custom makers on here who could sort you with a top quality bat.
In my opinion we are absolutely spoilt for choice on this forum!!
My fave at the moment is Black Cat, but that's only cos the one I'm using goes like nothing else!
BUT if I wanted a specific handmade to my spec then I would go with SAF.

Well - the Redbacks are excellent, or at least I haven't seen a bad one before!!
But if it was my money (sorry Gary if you read this) then I would always go for the top quality hand made to my spec of SAF!
That way there is scope to make small changes easily!

However, let's face it....both Redback and SAF are excellent! So whichever you decide on should be pukka!

These forum boutique brands such as Redback, SAF, Ayrtek, Black Cat are pretty similar, there may be slight tweaks in profiles and finish but they all have very good reviews ans offer good customer service.

Just a case of who does a profile you like, which stickers you like and who you feel most comfortable dealing with.

Redback do have the capacity ot custom.
i have in the past choosen my cleft from about four or five different ones and then decided exactly the wieght, concaving, hieght of middle, width of toe, stickers etc etc

i would say that is allowing for "small" changes, and it was much cheaper than other comparable brands
Excellent bat!
