New bat needed for a mate...
« on: February 26, 2013, 11:09:04 AM »
Hi guys.....seems like I am now the go-to-guy for a new bat at our club!
My mate wants my help in sourcing him a bat....
He is quite an aggressive middle order batsman (his batting style as opposed to his nature!!)
He wants about 2' 8/2' 9 up to £220 ish with mid to low middle as loves to drive(but not exclusively!!)
Other than that he is pretty open to suggestion....
As it is someone elses money am really keen to get this right (like I did with my own Fireblade)
Any help etc,as alaways much appreciated!! :D

Somewhere I will have them....
Does the Supreme have the same shape handle as my Fireblade?
He thought it felt a bit odd,and not sure I would not get a touch of the green eyed monster if he got one!!??
(not that I don't love my Fireblade I hasten to add!!!!)

Have a word with Mr Aldred  ;)

Handle is similar, not quite as oval. Yours does have 2 grips which will change the characteristics somewhat.

My wonderful truly wonderful Laver and Wood special reserve was within that the budget, there are just far too many options, give him a big list of the possible bat stickers and ask him to choose his favourite from the sponsors on here, and then get the perfect bat:)

Hi, You shoudl ask your mate what he likes about bats. whats important to him and the type of bats he has enjoyed using before.
Ordering a bat from a website for a third party without at least knowing the type of thing they would like is a nightmare waiting to happen.

My mate has now purchased his new bat.....B & S Supreme from the guys @ Vitas...
Was surprised how quickly he made a decision...but reckon he has got a great bat on its way.....am a teeny bit jealous!

Once again,many thanks to all that replied/contacted me offering an array of great bats!!
Unfortunately,like myself,he was only able to purchase one... :( :( :( :(
