Charlie French - Fury
Aldred - Silver Sovereign (Grade 2)
Red Ink - Sirius X1

I would go Red Ink...why?
I have had/used CF and Aldred - both of whom make quality bats.
But I have never had a Red Ink. Therefore simple choice for an enquiring mind  ;)

Some good logic there @petehosk A couple of the lads at my club have got CF and Aldred bats so maybe the Red Ink route, to get the full set is the way to go.

More than welcome to pass your Redwood onto me mate haha I really like the Red Inks this year, cracking sticks coming out from them.

Aren't we due for some reviews and (lots of) photos?

Hello.

I have decided to do away with my Redwood 'The Maker' Limited edition bat and have narrowed my search down to the following to replace it:

Charlie French - Fury
Aldred - Silver Sovereign (Grade 2)
Red Ink - Sirius X1

They are all in a similar price bracket and I like the pick-up of all of them but just can't make my mind up.

What are your experiences of these companies and if you were going to choose what would you go for?

Cheers

What's your connection with TCB the online bat seller?

I have had at least one of each of these.  All were worth the money.

Aldred was the best finished bat
Red Ink was the best shape for me, and the best customer service
CF was the best pressed bat, and once it was knocked in, it went like a rocket.

@well past my peak I will be 100% honest. I am the online seller however I am asking for public opinion on here.

Its always good to find out everyones prior experience with bats before choosing one (or more) for yourself.
