If I was buying a brand new bat and had a flexible budget I would look no further than this opportunity right here. This is an incredible deal normally reserved for the pro's!

Thanks,but not sure what the costs involved might be...rather suspect that my 'flexible' budget would not 'flex' that far?!  :-)

if you're really unsure I'd guess that the best way for you to go is to take a trip to a shop and hold a few bats seeing what picks up and feels best for you...

I'd definitely rcommend a Blue Room bat, Rob will make it to whatever spec you want and for around the price you originally said £200. I've got one and am very happy with it.
Another one I've read and heard good things about that you may wish to consider is a Redback bat. Their Paradox bat won the Wisdens best bat a couple of years ago.

Personally prefer the grains on the supreme so that would be my choice.

Based on what you said in your first post describing your batting style, my first thought was H4L 666.

If I was you I would contact Matt at H4L and see what he can do for you. Have not heard a bad thing about his bats and my H4L 666 is the best bat iv owned.

Thanks for that,as you will have noticed,a few people have recommended the H4L....but having been on their website I don't think I could stretch to that cost or justify it...
I did mail them in case they could offer  any discount but only offered me a toe guard and scuff sheet..:-(
They do look lovely though!

thats still good of matt to offer a couple of extras regardless of the cost of them. to be honest its a bit rude asking for discount from a company you have never dealt with. Why would you expect a company to discount their product for someone who sends them a random email? if you were a long standing customer then fair enough but he sells plenty at those prices so how does that benefit him?

i see no harm in asking for a discount. there is nothing rude in it. he has a budget and based on recommendations from people, he tried to get a bat in his budget.

there are bats available from matt for his budget but hes obviously trying his luck to get a higher grade bat for the price. IMO i think its rude to ask for discount on a something which is a set price. You dont go into Tesco's and say i only have £1 for something. i dont want your economy version, i want your tesco finest version but its too expensive. will you discount it down? Quite simple, if you cant afford it dont get it or get one within your budget.

Just to confirm other supermarket chains are available.  :D

In response to 2 of the  posts (Red Ink and the one after it)...
I agree that it is a bit cheeky to ask for a discount on a first transaction,however I would not call it rude!
My comment about not getting a discount from Matt at H4L was in no way a reflection him,their bats or on how nice I think they look!
As people will appreciate I,like most people,want to get the best bat/deal that I can for the budget that I have set!
If being a bit cheeky got me a significant saving then it would be worth it.
On that note,I have had replies/messages from various people that have had deals/discounts from one or two of the sponsors on here(including H4L).
Hopefully I will be able to finally decide and purchase over the next couple of days,seems the perfect weather for it!!>> ;)

No harm in asking for a discount! Although the best discounts tend to be offered rather than asked for!

As for bats, I would have a chat with Vitas about which one they think would suit your game. They've got the sticks in front of them so take the opportunity to tap into their knowledge and let them help you decide. Only heard good things about B&S bats so I'm sure either will be great....
