Hi guys,
New Member here, originally from New Zealand now been applying my trade over here for the last 2 seasons
Want to get a new blade for the 2011 season and want to go for one of the smaller independent UK companies,
I'm a lefty and play predominately on the front foot, score most my runs on the drive.......and to cow corner of course!! haha.
Looking for something round the 2lb 10 oz region with a big profile that's good on the drive looking to spend around 150 quid
Have been using a GM Catalyst Original LE for the last 2 seasons which was a freebie from my old club coach back in NZ who is the GM rep.
Would appreciate your thoughts/recommendations

Hi Blair,
Welcome to the forum and all that, I have a choice of bats that may be suitable/absolutely perfect? I have a GM Catalyst Original LE that has not had much use and had a full clean from GM including a nice new shiny set of Icon labels, not a single crack on the blade, 2.9 with 16 grains. Or a new Talisman Storm at 2.10 with a single grip, a nice big profile with a lowish middle for the slog/drive.....

Welcome to the forum, all of your cricketing needs for life have been answered in the first post!
Contact Mike (Talisman) he is great to deal with and gets awesome value for money for his customers.

thanks talisman,
I'm trying to stay away from the common brands this time around, want a bat that not many other people have, to get that extra wow factor, Lol
Would like to see some pics of the talisman storm, if i could please.
