I have found out that I hate using other people's bats so according to you guys the custom made route looks to be the way forward.

Will see what I can conjure up!

[Colesy]

I have a nightmaric (new word) situation where my mum tells me I have to 'wait until August' for a new bat. I will ask my step-dad who is sports mad as he might understand that the season will be as good as over then.

So atm I have a Purist Original (bit of a plank), Puma Ballistic 4000 and what I think is a GN Powerbow in my bag to try. Not keen on any of them but have no choice atm.

ebay all 3 mate.... then use the funds...

[Colesy]

Haha unfortunately they're not mine

[peplow]

ahhh slight issue.

I'd lend mine whilst i am away - but the immortal line "i have a habit of breaking bats" scares me big time lmao!

[Colesy]

So it should

[peplow]

colesy a suggestion - drop prowannabe/liam and pm/email. he has the ss i got off dave and is shifting it on pretty cheap i would think, and word out is that its decent, just too light for liam.. may be worth a punt to keep you going..

[Colesy]

Thanks mate, might have a word but my budget is what some may call, tiny :L

[peplow]

lol, not sure how much you have or how much he wants but no harm in asking

Get something off of mike, you will get a great bat and great service!

Mike is coming down weds fingers crossed, i could show him your way or drop something off to you if you sort something

[Colesy]

It doesn't look like I will be able to buy a bat until August so not much point in Michael coming round. I just have to be patient. ARGH :L

[peplow]

good things come to those who wait.

but seriosuly what are you gonna use??

[Colesy]

Haha well The Purist has a small middle and has seen better days, the Puma picks up nice but not used it in anger and not used the Powerbow although it's massive for the weight and feels nice. Whichever goes best should be what I use.

I broke my leg a few years ago a week or so before the season started. Only thing that kept me going was playing before seasons end. Made it with two weeks to go and picked up a plank of a GM ( borrowed off non cricketer- in days when you used the club bag bats,however dodgy!) and hobbled out to bat. 52 runs later hobbled back in. Wrong weight,terrible bat but my mind was so determined........
