I only took up cricket 6 or 7 years ago. So my first couple of bats were a kookaburra Belta, a Gray Nicolls Powerbow 5* and then a beast 3lb Newbury Uzi SPS.
The Kook was ok. But the Powerbow and Uzi were both excellent!!  8)

GN Twin Scoop was my first bat, and my first adult bat was a Slaz V12...

Kookaburra Bubble was my first junior sized bat, followed by a GN Excalibur. I absolutely loved that GN! Felt like a young Mike Atherton!

GN Powerspot Tuffcoat followed by an SS Turbo I kept for at least 5 seasons and wish I still had as it was a stunning bat. The Powerspot was complete rubbish....

Some sort of Duncan Fearnley back in about 88 in harrow, first adult bat was a slazenger v100 five star got for me by one of our club pro's - still probably the best bat I've ever had.

We all sometimes joke about having a bat that plays like it's a plank but in this case I actually think a plank might have been more responsive! For the life of me I am still not sure whether I ever hit a single ball off the middle, you just couldn't tell.... :D

Sounds very like the Scoop 2000 I stuck pictures of up six months ago.

Stuart Surridge - the model that wasn't a Jumbo or Turbo.  Only cost £50 but this was 1990, nowt special.  Upgraded to a lovely V100 5* in the McGirk Sports sale two years later with the proceeds of four weeks work potato picking - now that was a lovely bat, just couldn't bear to use it at first!
