Hi there

I know im new but was wondering if anybody had any advice, im looking for a new bat and have been thinking about going for 1 of these 3 makes. Im just wondering if anyone had any experience with them and which one is of the best quality.
Any help would be awesome
Thanks

I have never used a woodstock, other 2 are good...

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of the 3 you have chosen. Personally I would go with a Rob Pack or a saf. Saf have a few bats currently for sale that are pre made so good deals to be had and prowannabe usually has a few bats for sale on behalf of Rob Pack although he doesn't frequent the forum much these days.

Not used the others but have had SAF top bats and top service from Andy

SAF are very very good.. The bats I have seen from Rob Pack look super nice and so do the woodstocks.

If I were looking I think it would come down to the toss of a coin between rob pack & SAF. But if I were buying a bat now I would get hold of Its Just Cricket and select a GN DYNADRIVE.. but I have a SAF and a duck&run at home..

Flip the coin.. Heads go for SAF - Tails its Mr Pack

Thanks for the reply, i live quite locally to SAF and Rob Pack, so i think im going to take a drive to each of them and have a look and a chat. Just all depends which one first. As said a coin may be the only option!!

Having used Woodstock and SAF, but sadly not Pack, I'd certainly take the SAF over the Woodstock. Bit of advice, when you visit SAF, take a packet of chocolate hob-nobs...

I have all three brands of bat and the Woodstock, Pack and SAF are all quality.
But if I was just choosing one of them, then it would be SAF by a nose from Pack.
There are a couple of reason, but the main decider for me is that SAF are on this forum and therefore you have that extra cozy and secure feeling that you'll be looked after! Absolute pinging bats too!

And if you get a Hades and go and see Andy to get it made, you'll absolutely love it!

If you have the chance to visit then I'd swing by and see Andy at Saf. You'll get a corking bat but you'll learn a lot at the same time. As Tim2000s said just ply with biscuits and you'll get a belting stick!

I'd personally definitely go with Pack or SAF

I heard he likes custard creams

The best advice I can give you is have a chat [phone call ] to all of them and then go with the one you feel is best for you then.  That is what I would do

[lazza32]
