I would. I am getting Matt H4L to copy my match bat in a lower grade as sick of lads using crap balls in nets and risking knackering my bat

Spot on mate, that's all you need. As long as your net bat is a replica of your match bat I would say.

Don't get a net bat and continue to use your match bat.

Or get a heavier net bat in the hope it improves your hand speed

ok thanks :)

Net bat is always a good idea. I'd only use my match bat in nets if I know exactly what balls are being used and if they are good quality ones.
Try and get the same profile as Will said but bear in mind the costs as it is only a net bat after all.
I am not very fussy, I use 2 similar profile match bats (and have a 3rd Pakistani one like it - that's a gun!) but use a Kookaburra Kahuna Chaos which is a different profile to them but it's a good bat too (though it will fall apart very soon - delaminating...).

All up to you mate, whatever you use in the nets make sure that the practice pays off :D

Maybe they will, but ask them to press it a bit harder? And or fit 2 anti scuffs etc
