Thanks mate.. Yeah Used to be a big fan of Warsops but in my experience of seeing all the players including my brother owning one.. They break too easily.. and everytime the break seems to be a split toe.. I've seen 3 or 4 with my own eyes suffering the same damage..

Although having said that, I only ever used a Warsop once in an innings and scored an enjoyable 50 - they go like anything in the nets.. Just seem to be short term lasting bats for some reason....

Thanks a lot Asad - Looks like a beauty but a little way out of my price range at the moment..

I am starting to hear a few people on the forum and going to consider buying off the sponsors here isntead.. hence have my eyes on a few BlankBats now :)

In terms of forum sponsors, I would recommend Helios, Laver or Vantage from experience. (Helios is the only one I have used, but have 2 Vantages and a Laver on their way, and the customer services were nothing short of excellent, especially Matt from Vantage, as he has constantly been contacted by me and met every one of my fussy demands!)  Based on reviews here, Blank bats, H4L and SAF would be good shouts too!

I would tend to go for a maker who presses and makes their own bat to my specific spec at the moment!
So SAF, Laver, Blueroom, H4L would be my initial list. But I have H4L and Lavers which are excellent - Lavers do tend to take a little time to play in and get going, but once played in they are excellent. The H4Ls and Blueroom I have/had are top notch as well!  But I think SAF will get my interest next!!!  8)

Big Fan of SafBats myself.. I have seriously considered ordering one at many occasions in the season.. ended up losing interest for a while.. h4l would get the most interest out of me these days, Contacted Andy @ Laver recently about a bat but then our deal sort of fell out as it was a little out of my budget.. But Lavers would be a bat I would invest in any day if I had the money..

Hence why something affordable and with excellent reviews at the moment sounds like BlankBats.. I am speaking to Mike about a potential bat he may have somewhere.. If I end up buying it will post review and pictures..

Saad, I have a blank bat and it is great, especially for the price. It compares favourably to a kook rogue 850 and Quantum LE that i used in some nets. Having said all that, there is a lad in our league who ahs a Salix and hits some lovely efortless 6's, he says its the bat and wont let anyone even touch it!
