MSR net bat. Cracked through the toe in the first net and had no middle at all. In other terms a plank

recent experience?

[scottish_slogger95]

it was in the summer so guess its recent

assume they replaced it for you?  To be fair to Steve, he seems pretty good about such things.

I didn't talk to him about it. Just glued it up and gave it to one of my mates. Don't like getting into an argument/fuss about things like that unless they were pretty expsensive (It wasn't)

We had poly coat GN lasers from the lord taverners.

ours were definately the powerspot model but still genuinely gives me nightmares when i look at argos and see the poly coated bats there but then again my school loved doing things on the cheap, i think even Ali cook would have struggled with our bats

The worst one I had was a GM flare 707 that I bought online from JJB sports. Lovely profile but it felt like a plank even after  knocking in for hours.

Puma classic 4000 was a plank.  Worse bat I've bought...ever!

Bought one off here that broke new laws of physics for poor performance. Looked at the face every time in bewilderment after seeing the cleanest of middled hooky slogs barely make it past the square leg umpire wondering if the previous owner oiled it with treacle!

Funny enough mine was a newbery Navarone, just shocking all round really i bought it from Romida a few years back. They would not help so i contacted Newbery direct who were very good and allowed me to send to them and they sent me a Series 1 as a replacment.

Think mine is a toss up between a solitaire and if I realy honest a laver I bought off ebay.
What a conundrum best and worst are the same......

It taught me if your buying custom buy it yourself as it only custom to the person it was made for

Worst bat I've had... Probably the 2012 Kooka Recoil 750. Only used it in the nets but I just didn't like it. Apart from that, liked every bat I've owned so far. Kahuna's middle isn't quite where I want it but it's still awesome.

Do school bats count if so we had poly coated Gray nic's powerspots it was like using deadwood never left the pitch let alone the square. so most of us all brought our own bats to school from the year 10 to 11.

I scored my first ever ton using one of these! Must have got lucky and found the only decent one in the country!

Lol at everyone considering whether it's long enough since they sold a bat on here that they can now declare it was a plank.

GM Hero Original for me. Was ok out of the very middle, but anything slightly mistimed was horrible. A real let down considering my previous bat was a GM and was an absolute gun.

I wonder if people would be best treating bats like my dad does holidays. He never goes to the sane place twice as he reckons that even if he had a great time first time round the second time will never be as good.

Everyone who say they had a plank , would you say it was due to being over pressed??
