Any ideas for a bat, £120 budget
« on: June 19, 2013, 10:36:50 AM »
Hi Guys

I am in the market for a new bat, looking for something with a lowish middle around the 2.10 mark. looking to spend a max of £120 and just wondered if anybody knew of any good deals about.

Thanks

Solitaire might be an option.

Or speak to MSR, Red Ink, DS Cricket, Ryan at Kelsall Bats and the usual shops like Vitas, IJC & Uzi Sports.

I waas going to say.....speak to the retailers and bat makers on here. You should be able to grab something very good for that price!

We have this in 2.9.  Stick a 2nd grip on it (advisable given the thin chevron) and it'll be 2.10.  Certainly has a lowish middle, and taps up very well too... In my opinion, Newbery 5 Star bats offer perhaps the best value for money of any bat on the market today - the performance you get for the price is (in my opinion) almost impossible to beat! http://www.itsjustcricket.co.uk/cricket-bats-c17/senior-cricket-bats-c18/newbery-mjolnir-5-star-cricket-bat-p354

That bat is a gun.
I tapped-it-up when I was at IJC recently.

It's the bargain of the season!

Guys

Thanks for your suggestion, lots of options to go through. Solitaire looks like what i am after, anybody on here used them before?

I've not used them but i believe they have a habit of sending you a heavier bat than your ordered

Salitaire are a decent bat, but as iand123 said, they do tend to do heavier bats!
I have rarely seen one under 2'11/12 although I would hope that they are better these days?

Solitaire as mentioned above do seem to offer heavy bats. So if you're after a bat around 2lb 9oz it might be a struggle to get them to do one.

Aldred Silver Sovereign springs to mind.

You will need to check to see if Paul has any new silver clefts in.

Nearly forgot.

Matt@ H4L has a Hattori Devil grade.
Not sure the weight but I pinged it last week and it's sweet.

He charges £120 for the Devils. I've got 2 1/2 and all go amazingly well.
