I have a Redback, not custom, but handmade, and my god, does it go! I think it will be difficult for me to go to another bat maker after getting this bat off Gary, it's really that good.

[Richie]

I think I might have to look into Redback... I've only heard good things about them!

I am currently using a custom Laver and have a custom Warsop Platinum on order

[sammyboy]

I have a warsop platinum and it is beaut but I dont think it is that much better than my BAS

[CrickMad2k8]

i do not have a custom made bat but have used a cf fusion in the nets v.good

[Johnny]

I have a Laver&Wood Carbo Firefly - as per some of the above posts, had it made with a specially low middle to help with the slow and low northern wickets - it's awesome!

Nozza - were you not tempted to go with an MG2 since Marty makes the Aero bats?

[Nozza]

No mate because the laver was cheaper and the shape suited me better

[Tom]

Aren't they both Custom Made, also with Marty Graham having worked under James Laver I'm sure they'll be able to do similar shapes as they'll have similar equipment.

[Johnny]

No mate because the laver was cheaper and the shape suited me better

can't argue with cheaper, but surely the whole point of custom is that you get the shape you want

I have a Fusion Superbest in my bag at the moment, hopefully by the weekend i'll have a CE bat in my bag.  Got to admit i do like my Fusion, having met James and dealt with him when i was buying a couple of clefts, all i can say is i wish i had a fraction of his knowledge on bat making.

In the future i might be tempted with a Redback and Warsop just so i can have a look at styles and the performance.  Like most i have a bat fettish! 

[Nozza]

That is very true tom however just like the looks of the Lavers and they are cheaper!!

[E-Unit]

I thought MG2 are cheaper.

Anyway i have a Laver and Wood Comet which is lush, 10/11 straight grains with 1 grain of heartwood, and a Laver and Wood Churchill which is pretty nice for a g2/3 havnt used it yet.

So custom imo are the way to go

I have a Fusion Superbest which i bought from someone and its pretty close to my specs.

I will get round to making a custom made bat for myself one of these days.

[Nozza]

No lavers are cheaper i think. 

[Tom]

Nah MG2 is cheaper, approx $140 NZD cheaper for the G1 level bat inc Knocking in.
