not many come on here and say...

I would like to spend a grand on kit as their first post!

the forum sponsors will extend you a very very warm welcome I suspect!

Or you might even try shooting an email to Julian.. who knows he could give you a deal for two top of the range Screaming Cats.. Judging by my own observation and with the past experiences from other members here, you will not be needing the third bat.. :)

I agree with Buzz. Ping a PM to all the batmakers and tell them what you want and your budget. I'm pretty sure you'll get some excellent offers in response.

If everything has to match, then I think Bulldog are the only company who do regular bats, T20 bats and Softs.

But if you're prepared to mix and match, the world is your oyster.

Could definietely sort you a Charlie French package - in fact probably not far off 2 packages with that kind of money!!!

Blank Bats can also do this - as can H4L

I better split the bats up and say they don't have to be from the same place except the pair.

I would be tempted by either H4L or Blackcat. Don't let the lower prices fool you into thinking they will be inferior bats.

For your t20 bat I'd say black cat joker.

just bought a black cat custom and is a beauty! at lot of wood for the weight and really do ping. two of those and a joker would be pretty special. they dont do softs but what about the blankbats softs look very good and understated in my opinion.

Were you wanting all your softs to match as well?

In that case I can think of Mongoose, Willostix and Lekka that do a T20 short bat, normal bats and softs.

I think it would be easier to group my requirement in 3 groups.

1 2 identical match bats
2 1 2020 bat
3 2 gloves and pads and bag.

They don't all have to come from one place. I've been told that I should go UK made bats not UK brands as some sticker Indian bats. So who would make the best performing bats for my budget.

Now there's a question... And the answer is pretty much all will as it is not the bat necessarily, more the batsman...

You can get many great bats for around £200 each, there is no need to spend £250+. It's impossible to say who makes the best performing bats but H4L, Blackcat and a few others get good reviews.

A load of us got bats made by m&h last year but mine broke due to use and I was told I'd need 2 bats minimum this year but can't afford 2 copies of my bat and sorts. My mate has just spent 800 pounds on a bat and gloves and pads and bag there so no way I can get all my kit from them. I want performing bats. I hit straight and hard and I'm right handed and 6ft tall if that helps.
