In Need of a Another Bat
« on: December 07, 2012, 12:32:20 PM »
As the topic suggests i could do with another bat as everyone at my club has at least 2 bats of more, At the moment i have a Spartan CG Authority i got from Australia no indian rip off, My dilemma is i want to spend about 200 notes on one as i want it to be a good very good spare, i like the idea of a highish middle as i like a good drive, i have been thinking about the new Maverick from GN and also the new V1200 from Slaz,

anyone have any other options i would be glad to hear

Our BOMBORA has a high middle, thick edges and profile is balanced towards a lighter pick up. The MP+1 is premium grade 1 willow and priced at £200.00

There's a few forum owners that will tell you how pleased they were when they got one this last season. Have a peek in the BlueRoom section, I'm sure there's images, reviews there mate.

Good luck with the bat hunting.

Salix have some very nice offerings this year, new flat faces, exceptional workmanship and good prices, all have mid middles. This is just my opinion.

With that amount of money you have an amazing choice with all the forum brands plus sales from PDC and alike.

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Have you thought about Kookaburra, mate? High middle + £200 budget = Kookaburra Menace 700?  http://www.itsjustcricket.co.uk/cricket-bats-c17/senior-cricket-bats-c18/kookaburra-menace-700-cricket-bat-p511 Check out our video review (next to the thumbnails) for a closer look...

The V1200 is definitely not a high middle! Very asian profile aside from the double spine.

Menace could be a good bet as Paul said, we picked out some lovely Menace 700's a couple of weeks ago, 16 grains!

Flares have a high middle, we have plenty of these at various reduced prices in our sale topic.

Agree about the V1200, Jake - I've been knocking one in today.  Fairly low middle...

Another good option would be a Newbery 'Cadbury' GT.  Is it just me, or does it look like their middles are even higher now they've got the cadbury decals? I thought they would be exactly the same shape as the old black GT, but on the cadburys I've seen, the middles seem slightly higher to me...
