which bat?
« on: October 10, 2011, 02:49:30 PM »
Right ladies, need a new bat. Increased my budget and not looking to spend more than £200. Narrowed it down to h4l, blackcat shadow, saf or redback.  Always heard of people saying the "whole bat" is the middle. Want to own one now.
Any suggestions?

Always a tough choice, if you go and have a feel of a few of these before you buy then it may make your decision easier.

Is it possible to visit Black Cat and get a feel for their bats?

I don't think BlackCat has a warehouse/shop to visit.

I have not used SAF, Redback or H4L but I can swear on BlackCat Shadows. I have two of them and they ping like crazy!!

I don't think SAF is on par with Redback, H4L or BlackCat

Cover-Drive, it's fine to have an opinion, but given that you haven't used SAF, Redback or H4L, and SAF won the AOC Best Bat and Best Value in 2010 and Black Cat came 7th in 2011, saying that is somewhat troll-like!

I could be wrong but do you think SAF has sold as many bats as Redback, SAF or even H4L?

I don't go much after rating to be honest.
