Purist - the greatest bat ever? Discuss...
« on: February 20, 2012, 10:20:20 PM »
With all the GM love recently on the forum, I thought I'd ask a question thatbhas been bugging me for a while. Why do people love the Purist so much? I've never used one and don't understand....

For me, the best all round bat for front foot and back foot shots. The balance was supreme and pick-up barely noticeable, combined with awesome playability.

Being slightly cynical, I thought it got loads of love because Michael Vaughan used one, really...

This was a bat I never owned and lusted for greatly. Everyone I saw, picked up played extremely well. Lovely balance and light pick up and being a traditional profile guy I was hooked instantly. Front foot players loved it, back foot too, just so meaty down the blade it looked so easy to hit boundaries with. Who needs big edges when you've got a high spine and long long middle  :) I got images of the purist to base my custom pack bat on  8) just wish I had got one. And the purist original softs. WOOF!!!

no bat can ever be the greatest ever, as everyone has different tastes

I think a more suited question would be who made the greastest bat you've ever owned.....

I think the answers may be very similar

I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.

Loved the Purist II too. Not as good as the original beast but a very good bat nonetheless

How much would you pay to get your hands on one? Was it you who got that eBay one for £50?

I always wish I'd owned one, a few guys at my club still have them, and they look decent sticks.

No unfortunately I have absolutely no money, hence selling my PS3.

It would depend on the use of the bat, would pay £70 for an 808 at my club (if I had the money to spend). I'm practically the only person to use it. The owner got 76 runs in 27 innings with it and I got 285 in 3 innings.

I had an awesome Purist Original back in the day, all round performance was excellent with a very forgiving middle. Sadly broke beyond repair after just 1 season along with quite a few other GMs round my way which has put me off since   :(
