CHARLIE FRENCH CRICKET BATS
« on: April 07, 2011, 03:28:42 AM »
Hi guys I'm new to the forum so hello to all I've been purchasing bats from charlie for the last 3 seasons, but always the handle cracks or needs replacing after a season so am looking to change bat makers what do you guys recommend??

Did some web searching and came across solitaire are they any good coz 125 for a grade 1 custom made sounds good

I've lost count of the number of bats ive had from Charlie and never had a issue with a handle at all! Top batmaker, top bloke and you  wont get any better in my opinion.

Welcome to forum mate! I hope you enjoy your stay here!

One thing I must say that you need before joining this forum is bank balance because it is going to vanish sooner or later :D

What is your budget for a new maker?

Thanks for the vote of confidence mate he really does make some beauties and the price he gives me I cant complain, ever since I've been on this forum just been tempted to look elsewhere thats all

The only downside is that he seems to be in demand all the time so have to wait ages for the bats

Have you always used Charlie French Bats??

I can see that happening played cricket to a very high standard so always seem to get some sort of sponsorship price, but nowdays bat makers want top dollar for a quality piece of willow

I generally go through a bat a season Colin Ingram of SA was our overseas a few seasons ago and got a beaut of a bat off him but it got knicked after I scored some runs with it so not too impressed !!!!

Budget would be in the 200 region bud

Any suggestions??

Although it was probably meant in jest.
