xxxxxxxx your an educated chap what bat do you use and why? Solitaire Pink - had £100 and always wanted to buy British made and was lured into the promise of G1 willow (more like G3!).
~ How good is the ping? The best bat I have owned so far, the middle is good nothing exceptional but reliable enough to know when you hit it well enough it will go for 4. However the toe and slightly above middle could be better - in comparison to previous bats I have had.
~ More importantly what does it weigh and what size edges does it have? 2'13 with 2 grips, 30mm edges.
~ Finally, what makes it good? Cost, can't go far wrong at £100 and the pick up is improved with the extra grip. I have been more surprised with its longevity as it is now well into its 2nd season with over 2200 runs scored with it and god knows how many net sessions (this is the only bat I currently own), however I think I might just have got lucky. Would I recommend Solitaire? No, to put it bluntly.
