Which Bats...................
« on: July 11, 2012, 01:42:12 PM »

I know we've had this topic before.........or at least a similar one!
But with the emergence of many brands plus lots of other brands that are not sponsors on this forum, I was curious as to which bats have tweeked your interest this season? Or maybe there is a bat that you have always loved (e.g. Newbury Mjolnir or older model) which you have never purchased but always wanted to? Or maybe you used to have a bat which you loved and would have again if you had the chance? And what are your reasons?

I will kick it off with a few which have got my interest!

1. SAF Hedes - used one at the last Batoff and it felt stunning and the response was superb!
2. Adidas Incurza Elite - had a 2'9 which had a very ordinary profile but was so easy to use and pinged like a rocket!
3. GN Dynadrive - have an old model and curious as to the new model!
4. Puma Platinum Black Edition – looks amazing!
5. GM Players – are they really any better than the (already excellent) LE models?


I already have most of the sponsors bat’s from this forum and therefore I already know that the Black Cats, Lavers, Packs, Bluerooms, Instincts, H4L’s, etc, etc produce and supply some absolutely incredible bats!!! But this is my list of ones I am curious about!

Ravi Boparas new SS has given me an inferiority complex after watching it on SKY yesterday.
Ive not seen a bigger bat and most of the SS ive seen are not very big in reality.
Im simply looking for the biggest bat at the lightest weight that will hit the ball furthest ...   but arent we all?

This is more about what has got your interest that you haven't already got in your kitbag?

The 5 I would love to own:

1) Laver signature - would only buy if money was no object to see if the were really all that
2) GN dynadrive like Pete-looks intriguing hope the price is right
3) GM JT players- again the same as Pete like the look of the GM players especially the JT icon.
4) Hammer Odin- Now I know tha Jason Mellet isnt the most popular guy on this forum but I would love to try one of his odin bats made by 'one of the best bat makers in the UK'
5) A Bulldog - was offered one by kieron, the AOC test bat, but I decided to got for a GM instead, why? i dont know?

My mistake, before I owned one it was the only bat which caught my eye anyway!

1) SAF Hades, offset edges sound cool
2) Joker, always wanted to try one, I can only imagine how far a 3lb joker would launch a ball
3) Laver and Wood Reserve Ultra, reminds me of my slaz v12 I had as a kid
4) Any blank bat, good idea and get universal praise on here
5) One of the aldred xl bats, they all look great from the pics so far

1) GM Icon Players Edition
2) BAS Vampire Shadow, just down to the fact an old team mate of mine has hit 26 6's this year with his, unbelievable bat.
3) A Blank Bat, so much so I'm considering one for next year.
4) Laver and Wood (any of them will do)
5) A GN LE of any kind, had a Predator 5 star a few years ago that was a belter so it would be interesting to see how well the LE's go.
