I've currently got three usables and an old retired newbery excalibur.

Pro Grade 2-6 used last season but due to weather etc. I think it still needs some more playing in. Decent performer - but...

Salix Pod Performance 2-7 total bargain from the IJC Olympic sale. Knocked in but still needs to be netted with to get it played in. Most impressive bat I've ever tapped up - I'm expecting great things if only I can get bat on ball. Not much more that I can say about Salix - the reputation is hugely deserved if this example is any measure.

Ninja Assassin 2-9 ok creeping up in weight but I wanted to see if I could handle a bat in the 'popular' weight range. Another bargain thanks to this site. Great pick up, a flat face (didn't realise that when I bought it but it will be nice to see if it makes any sort of difference) and from an outstanding bat maker. Needs to be fully knocked in and netted with, but I want it scuff sheeted etc. first. Haven't even applied the mallet to it yet, but a few raps with the knuckles produced an encouraging response.

That's me done!

I a bit miffed at myself this morning I look at my bats about to hav a net and you know what

Why the hell do I want another I have 3 new bats here hardly touched a ball I have a bat I have used 2 times and then my laver...

Last night I was after another and I woke up thinking mmm another bat for Christmas

The question is why was I not given enought breast milk or as I like to say growing up my parents couldn't afford decent kit so I had had none and now I can I do..

I just looked and thought why do I want more

I'm determined to get down to 1 for the season, plus my first H4l which has been the only bat i've used in the past 2 seasons - Would never sell a bat i scored a 150 with!

Have 2 new bats at the moment in my Redback and B52. Not sure which to go with or maybe even get something else lol

Since joking the forum I have amased the following for next season

H4l Hattori 5star brand new
Newbery GT Cadbury brand new
Gray Nicolls Dynadrive brand new
Gray NIcolls Maverick brand new
Gray Nicolls Powerbow brand new
Salix AJK Ltd edition brand new
Salix Falx grade 1 brand new
Salix Falx performance brand new
Dukes Legend brand new
M&H Solution brand new

As well as this I have 4 new pairs of gloves from Salix and Gray Nicolls as well as matching pads. Really need to stop but I really fancy an A61 as well may sell a Laver to fund it.
