Question: My friend, a number 9/10/11 needs a new bat and seeing as he's not brilliant he doesn't want to fork out £70+ for a new bat and is considering a cheap Kashmir bat. Worthwhile investment?

I see Kashmir selected for it's ability to be sold as English grade 2 on looks, performance wise it will be far below, maybe I'll buy a blank and we'll see what he thinks.

Plus the willow has been over harvested for some time in Kashmir, it is facing problems of it's own and Poplar is now being used a lot more for cheap bats in the Asian market.

So it's not worth it? His other thought was a harrow MMi3 as he's about 5ft 8 and plays golf so his swing won't change :D


Thanks Mikes :)

He could get something like this, cheap like the budgie but English willow.  Looks a decent stick for having a swing at it.

There is nothing wrong with Kook 200s. The opening bat at my club has one and he scores plenty of runs with it
