We all talk about the best.... But what about the worst bat??

I'm sure this may cause some conflicts, as the saying goes - "one mans junk is another mans treasure" ??? But I owned and used a puma octane and I hated it...

What about yours?

Had a Slazenger V200 Ultimate and it was the worst bat i have ever used.

Pick up was nice and looked good but the middle was the size of a pea, anywhere else on the bat just caused massive vibrations through the handle.

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.

Hehehee had G nicolls dual T20 bat with double sided (No Swearing Please)  (user given 1 day ban!) theory  and i can easily say that was the worst bat i have ever used in my life.  :(

Pickup of that was light as i ordered light one but from middle it was dud as there was no spine on that part, no matter what part the ball strikes it caused horrible viberations through my hands & wrists.  :)

I bought one of the £18 Slazenger jobs from Sports Direct a few years ago when I first started playing. The ball didnt leave the crease let alone the square, even if you middled it (which I only accomplished once) you still felt vibration as if your arm was about to come off! Probably the worse £18 ever spent! I got great satisfaction from throwing it into the Bonfire that year!

I had a bad Maestro, but the Powerspot took the biscuit closely followed by the V12.
