Tonights controversial topic.....

The best bat you can buy has in abundance Ping / Edges / Spine height  !!!!!!

But actually is it just a bat that suits you?

[procricket]

yes yes yes

Not at first but then it just clicked but took half a season .

Got two here that are as well one was free

[Colesy]

Bat that suits you. If you hit the sweetspot more often than not then specifics may not be as important as someone who hits it all across the face.

My thoughts..

[procricket]

for me the coverage of middle is much more important than the quality of a smaller one.

i have found 95 per cent of most bats play the same it all about pick up and weight and a profile that suits the eye in the hands if you get me

[Ryan]

The last bat test we went to just showed the importance of profile/ shape/ weight etc (each individuals preferences were so varied). As long as it suits you then it's all good in the hood.

The one that suits you...

[procricket]

But do people realy think there a difference in most bats.

I see 90 per cent of all bats tend to play the same 5 per cent are planks if not knocked in right then played in right.

the top 5 per cent is made up of light/overdried and ashthetically and better performance.

[Blazer]

Sadly not , judging by the runs I got with it. Still wonder if selling it on was the right idea . Perhaps any bat would be suitable when in form .

[Colesy]

For me I prefer something that looks like a Purist/Mjolnir - an old school wand, yet use an Icon which suits me

[pacman75cricket]

Profile that suits your game, when found why changes?

Agree, more or less with this, it's mostly about the wood...

I think  it's all about feel, look and confidence. If you like the feel and have confidence in a blade then shock horror.. .It's pings like a dream, goes a mile etc etc.. When you lose confidence in it.. suddenly it's a plank.

[Colesy]

Haha or how many runs your score with it can change your perception. I liked batting with a Purist II couple of seasons ago but everyone at my club said it was a plank, it was dead, all the phrases because they hated it

I think you hit the nail on the head in that post

[ProCricketer1982]

Colsey got it pretty darn close as well.. runs.. If you score runs with it.. bang, it's the best bat ever... Few ducks/mis-timed hits etc and bang... it's a shocking bat.. small middle, must be the balance or the lack of 'ping'..

TIme to go onto the forum for one of the forum sponsors 'mega ping'ing' bats Bound to get me more runs
