Help Needed! Which Bat For My 30th??
« on: January 24, 2012, 10:15:01 AM »

Morning all, just wanting some input from the collective knowledge of this wonderful forum!

My dad has offered me a rather nice sum of money towards a 30th birthday bat, and i've managed to whittle it down to one of the above 8 bats.

Please pop a vote on for your top 3 out of these. If anyone can suggest something else that might be suitable that i've missed off, please let me know!

Cheers, Carl

I chose SCAT, but Redback and H4L could be great choices.

I voted based on what I'd go for out of those 8, but there are at least 3 omissions from the list that I would have voted for; SAF Hades, H4L and CF of course!

Do you have a favourite bat profile that you could get copied by a company?

If the 'rather nice sum of money' is really nice then you can go for Screaming Cat I guess  :)

By the way, happy 30th birthday in advance and you do realize that you are a lucky man??  ;)

M&H Distinction.

Amplus is the nice bat in theory but I can't see such a high middle necessary in this country.

Money-no-object option would be a Scat I suppose, but the grief (and lack of looking at the thing) of buying something so far away isn't something I'm in a hurry to do (again).

If it were me, I would be going for a Charlie French bat shaped like a Screaming cat series 3... but that is just me, and I haven't asked if he would do that!!
I also have a soft spot for SAF bats - so Andy could do that shape too if you asked I am sure.

Majority of those bats listed seem to have originated at the same place, so just buy your favourite shape or stickers.

30th Birthday Bat? I'd get something made up for me by a custom maker (probably Andy SAF, Rob Pack, Charlie French or James Laver) and I'd be getting my most prolific run scoring shape that i've ever used (so a Hunts County Insignia).

But that's just me!

Screaming Cat Series One wins it easily! :D

I'd say Screaming Cat Series One, amazing bat it is!
