Great use of the BES coin.
Mine is a SAF Genus (number 100)
Don't have any pics of the face to hand, sorry - the rest of these pics have been seen before

cheers buzz i just wanna see some bats, there seems to be a lack of bats on this forum recently :(

the BES coin is the only way to measure edges ;)

Post by: 100 not out on February 01, 2011, 03:19:31 PM
Two good looking bats. One with a low middle and one with a high one
Title: Re: Match bat( numero uno)
Post by: Buzz on February 01, 2011, 03:34:18 PM
Actually because of the SAF trademarked offset edge the middle on the genus is lower (and as a restult longer :)) than it looks

p.s. I have given is a little refurb recently to clean it up and put a new scuff sheet on since these photos, so it is looking pretty good!

I'm still undecided of my match bat as of yet, as I really want to get a Hawk bat but just can't afford or need one at the moment as I've got a new Solitaire and my warsop bat, but I'm thinking about selling my warsop. Going to have a go with it in the nets and make my decision.

Talking about not being able to afford a new bat, I've just won a fair bit on a sevenfold tonight. Maybe I'm in luck :)

Tough one for me! My Tim Keeley bat is absolutely superb and is going very well, but today I took delivery of a Pro's Kookaburra bat which is astoundingly good, so theres gonna be a bit of competition for the Keeley!

My match bat - a Paradox Premier.  Weight is around 2'10/11 fully dressed in anti-scuff and heavy spiral.  Sold it's brother to Johan95, so I hope he has as much fun using it as I do with mine.  Had first net of the winter this evening, and it was absolutely flying.

Scored me over 1000 runs last season and hopefully will do similar in 2011

Title: Re: Match bat( numero uno)
Post by: johan95 on February 01, 2011, 10:53:32 PM
Had another net with it this evening and the thing flies, was playing really well tonight too so was middling a great deal and it truly did feel lovely...!!
Really does fit the billing of being an all-round shotplayer's bat though, played quite equally front and back foot, which was nice :)

Haha true say...I went from a scratchy net at school on Friday to a very good one tonight...but the school nets are on (No Swearing Please) astroturf mats that hardly bounce... :(

It's a different game when you got fielders around you. I use nets just for trying to get behind the ball. People don't use nets effectively I reckon.
Title: Re: Match bat( numero uno)
Post by: roco on February 02, 2011, 10:05:10 AM
I will agree with that I see people in nets playing great shots but get out to the middle and refuse to play the same shots

My rule is play in nets how you do in the middle

Doesn't look like much concaving on that scat. What weight? How's come you havent knocked in your other scat? 5 mins a days with a decent mallet and you'll be sorted in no time.

Well - I am not sure what my main match bat will be this year.
I am just knocking in a rather nice SAF which I will definitely use and may even let the odd lucky bugger use in my team if they respect the quality!!!  8)
But maybe in T20, I will use one of the other bats I have! Decisions, decisions!  :(
On the plus side, I will just have ti tell the missus that I simply HAVE to play more cricket this season so that I do market research on the different styles of bat!

By the way, the coin pictured is a special giganticoin which is around 40mm in diameter, just to give you an idea of the edge sizes!

My match bat: Nixon Thunder 2lb 10oz. No massive edges, no super-light pick up but a cracking little bat, seemed quite soft at first but with plenty of knocking in and match play has come into its own. I was assured it would be a go-er by Mr.Nixon and im not disappointed.

would just like to put that this was used for the first time tuesday in a mini net and oh hell it gorgeous. Through use i am hoping it will be pushing dave;s laver and my old fusion as the best bats i've ever used. its more than promising to say the least. Hoping more nets will uncover its true potential but unfotunately its back in the cover until mid april now :(

its going no where, this is my new "fusion" which was with me till the bitter end when it severaly crack almost snapped at nets. Been searching for the right bat since and hadnt found a candidate, came close but there was always a few things that i got fussy about! but now i have found it.

Its nothing special but this is my one for now, bought it last year. To be fair it does go really well and the middle is big.
I have bought another bat in the last week from Asad of Uzi Sports, One of his hand picked CA Plus 5000's which arent 5000's if you know what i mean  ;) . Knocking that one in at the moment but initial feedback is OMG !!!
Anyway here are the pics of the CA PRO 20-20 its 2lb 14oz
