Yeah that's what I've been enquiring around 2.9lb -2.10lb. It's just deciding which one suits me best and feels right in the hands. And then comes the task of picking out softs. Then which bag to get and then which bowling boots :Asics, Nike, Adidas or new balance. There is just too many options all together. I want something with a large hitting zone in the bat.

We're abouts is owzat ? And I'm based in Harrogate. And I don't want to pick a bat online and when I pick it up it feel wrong I'm quite picky when it comes to bat a bit OCD about it lol.

J28 M1, I think. Have a double check on Twitter. From what I hear, they are quite good although never been.

All rounder I find are a bit brash at times, almost arrogant, although a very good shop and plenty of stock.

There is BYB in York. Small retailer who used to be based at Heworth Golf Shop, but have moved now.  I doubt they'll have any of the above.

What about Romida Brighouse. They might have something along those lines, GM, mainstream ones.

Yeah I just don't like romida for some reason I think it's overpriced. And it's not too far away I suppose considering I have to travel to places like Scarborough, hull, Sheffield etc for matches.

Harrogate = Kippax

Used to play against the Kippax's at Harrogate CC

Yeah most of our lads use kippax gear curtosy of Ryan Bradshaw and Vic Craven who have a deal with them or something, but when I used one didn't really like it as much didn't feel right.

Who do you play for Johnny ?

Currently: http://www.boltonbaseball.org

I grew up playing for Cleethorpes and played Yorkshire League in my teens before moving to Lancashire for university 13 years ago

Isn't a Kippax the club chairman at Harrogate? I played against Vic back in the day

[ShinyCharizard 92]

Yeah Vic has just left gone to play in the aire wharfe league for some reason. Harrogate are trying to have more of a youngsters team signed the England u19 opening bat and stand in captain etc. and I'm not sure actually if he is I didn't know lol.

Anyways... Bat advice. If money were no object I'd get either:
- a Laver, as I've used them before and rate them highly
- an Affinity, because they seem a bit different and I get the impression Marcus won't let somebody pay his premium price tag without the premium service and product quality that goes with it
- a H4L, because their branding is amazing and I haven't heard a bad review
