Gray Nicolls - Never got on with GMs

Salix - Just beautiful

Laver - Simply prefer them to the SCATs

H4L - English made, and lovely bats, although the Willostix Spitfire is also a beauty

Hunts County  - As long as it was made by Tony for me

Puma - as long as it was made by RP for me!

CA - While the SS I've used was brilliant, the CA 5000 I inherited from a friend is hands down amazing...

SG - Then I've covered both Kook and SG with the one selection

M&H - always liked the S6

GM
Salix
Laver - scats are way overpriced
H4L hands down
Kookaburra

Puma-following general consensus of: as long as it was made by RP
SS
SG-same as kookaburra really
M&H-although very pricey they are top bats

GN
Salix better finish more personal touches
Neither both overpriced and no better than you can get for a 1/3 of the price
H4l based on reviews not many bad ones at all
Hunts because I have had one made there and was a belter
Neither not a fan of either
Ss all day long big fan of the special bats were getting at the minute and quality softs not used many ca not owned one either poor softs though compaired to ss
Equal kit looks identical but not overly keen on some sg shapes I have seen
Hawk used a few in the main decent

Gray Nics - had them as a kid and not a huge fan of GM (played with both)
Salix - simply ooze class (never used Salix or Newbury)
Laver - see above re; class, scat stickers are a bit too garish for me (wish I had used them)
Don't know much about either, draw
Kookaburra all the way, played with both
Puma (RP only though)
SS
SG
Hawk

Gray Nicolls vs Gunn & Moore - Not an easy one for me, the only GM i had snapped after 5 games and I've never used a GN.

Salix vs Newbery - Salix, love their softs and bats.

Scat vs Laver - SCAT , never used on but i wasn't a massive fan of the LW i had, was a little too hard.

H4L vs Willostix - H4L, Matt's pressing is top notch so that's an easy one.

Hunts County vs Kookaburra - Kook, loved hunts of old but think most are imported now. Kook bats are good but the softs and bag i had fell to pieces
