Hi guys,
Havent seen a post like this one before so I though id start one. If you could have any 5 bats of your choice in your kit bat, regardless of price. What would you have?
Mine would be:
1. Laver and Wood Signature
2. Screaming Cat (£400 one!)
3. SS Gladiator
4. Newbery GT335 SPS
5. Talisman
What about you guys?
-
1) Laver and Wood Signiture
2) Screaming Cat (The £400 one!!)
3) One of Talisman's absolute guns that weigh no more than 2'10!
4) SAF, Best willow in the 2011 profile that was posted on here a few days ago
5) Redback Limited Edition
So technically 6 bats with the L&W Sig!
-
Been made already i think :)
-
I can remember a whole kit one being down on CSF and an ideal if money was no object kit one.
-
Not doing too badly on the collection....
1. Another Screaming Cat Pro (£400 one!)
2. Newbery GT335 SPS cadbury....tick
3. Marty Graham MG2 bat....hopefully on it's way soon
4. M&H custom....not tried them before
5. SAF bat from the sticker guru ;)
Got two out of the 5 so far and hopefully the 3rd being sorted out so can't moan :)
-
1.special talisman players bat
2.laver&wood
3.mg2
4.screaming cat (with different handle)
5.m&h custom as heard good things

-
1. Screaming Cat series 3 pro
2. M&H AMPLUS
3. Gray Nics Players
4. Talisman Pro ( en route)
5. SAF AUDAX
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm haha
-

2) Talisman Special Edition/Pro
3) Marty Graham MG2 Sachin Edtion
4) Redback Limited edition

-
Ooooh missed out the SAF, will edit mine now
-
Ooooh missed out the SAF, will edit mine now
that will make it 7 bats tho , thats just cheating haha
-
nah, took the GN out!
-
1) Laver and Wood Signature
2) Screaming Cat (One with £400 tag)
3) Redback Allegiance Limited Edition
4) M&H Distinction
5) Talisman (big profile ones) or Salix Pod One
Always had NEwbery in my mind but since I have a Players Krakatoa which is no less than SPS for me thats like one dream has come true
-
Sort of a trick question. I could not make up my mind without using them first. Moreover, I would rather ask 5 of the best regarded bat makers to make me a bat with the same profile.
-
1. Screaming Cat £400
2. M&H Destinction
3. Newbery SPS, not sure which model
4. SAF Custom
5. Talisman's surprise
-
same names keep popping up
-
seems mg2 became popular ;) haha are people basing these purchases purely on reputation and hearsay though ???
not many GM, GN, Adidas, Kook etc popping up i see as well. Having tried L&W i thought they went well but werent for me in the profiles that i had them in :(
-
Well have the special talisman had the scat as you know and others are on reputation but worth a try as had gm gn etc
-
yes, basing my on reputation. And experience for the redback
-
yeh personally iv only ever had a slaz as my 1st bat, then newbery lightweight then moved onto series one, then our own bats before conducting my little trial :)
-
Hmmm. No-one ever mentions Hunts County, yet their Insignia profile has always gone well for me. And M&H S6 is lovely!
Remember seeing this exact post on CSF.... Just with different bats!
-
Looks like many people are simply jumping on the old band wagon, I've only seen one or 2 MG2 bats from Marty on here so I'm guessing people are posting because a couple of members have said he class rather than what they have actually seen or tested. Not sure id put a bat in my top 5 which ive not had an experience with or tested out a friends etc etc.
-
In mine as I plan to go to nz and have a look due to his rep same as James would not import a bat like that
-
Would love to try:
M&H Distinction
M&H Solution
Tim Keeley Custom
SAF Custom
Chase 4 Leaf Clover
-
yeah iv not tried an MG2 as such but having sorted out a favour for Marty im waiting eagerly to try one out :)
-
1. Laver and wood
2. Newbery GT 335 SPS
3. Black cat shadow
4. Screaming cat
5. M&H Harlequin
-
1) L&W - sachin's profile
2) NB GT 335 SPS
3) Screaming Cat
4) Hashim Amla's BAS

Will be interesting to compare choices.
-
1. Newbery GT Cadbury
2. L+W (top one, not sig though!)
3. M+H S6 or Distinction
4. Mongoose COR
5. SAF
P.s. Any luck with contact yesterday tom (ayrtek :D)
-
1. Redback
2. Talisman
3. Saf
4. Scat, To see what the fuss is about them.
5. there isnt a fifth brand,
I am fortunate to have the Redback and talisman already, I feel the Saf could come in the early spring, Scat, If a bargain one pops up i may purchase.
I have not said Newbery, As i feel other bats in the market are sourced from there, So would not feel the need to get one with a higher premium.
-
I would change my choices from earlier in the year a touch.
1. Tim Keeley super special, I have a few but can't get enough.
The next 4 would be curiosity buys,
2, GN players bat, working on this.
3, SS players bat, might enquire about this.
4, Laver copy of my Firefly, pressing superb v handle terrible!!!
5, CA players bat, might enquire about this.
-
I'd be sitting here umming and ahhing all day if I could! I'd go for, in no particular order:
a) SAF
b) Redback
c) Talisman
d) Newbery
e) Vantage
Obviously I'd love to try a Scat, a Laver, etc, but I'm all for supporting the smaller brands, and I've always wanted a Newbery. I've already got an outstanding Hunts County, which goes amazingly, but depending on prices I think my next purchase will be from one of the brands on here! ;)
-
Bats I'd like to own -
Salix from Andrew Kember
Millichamp Original from Julian Millichamp
GN from Stuart Kranzbuhler
H4L - Excel please Matt
Vantage - Lithium please Dan
Redback - Surefire please Gary

sounds like someones after a freebie lol

??? Ricky Pontings Laminate??????????????????
I was led to believe he used a laminate at some stage - i may be wrong (thought i'd read it on here some where)
Any of RP's bats (illegal or otherwise) would be very desirable i imagine.
-
this wouldnt be far off mine ;)
