You could get a bat from a forum sponsor for a better price I'd imagine.

I would imagine a £200 budget would attract a fair few guys able to help you choose a bat. as for it being knocked in I am sure some of them will offer than service. That way you'll be able to choose a cleft and talk through your specifications with the bat makers on here.

I bought two bats from Online Stocklist . one for myself and one for my mate.

Both my bats supposed to be fully knocked in but neither of them were knocked in , My mates SS has 5-6 cracks on edges after half a season ,plus there is one horizontal crack which seemed to be the worse one.

It takes nearly one month for the delivery , so  I wouldn't advice you to buy from them mid season if you hoping to use them soon. But products are genuine from my experience.

I got one bat made from Aldred few weeks ago and it is by far the best bat I have bought.

Mine is a Silver Sov which was £125 , you can even get Gold sov for £175 I think.

£205 is the price for the Gold bat + Knocked in. And some of the available clefts looked like this



But Paul has a new batch of clefts so could be well worth speaking to him.

Aldreds are beautiful bats (at least the two Supremes I have), but that SS looks very nice as well for the price. You can also try talent cricket's own custom bats - they are very well priced as well.

I think most people have a lot faster delivery than one month, it just depends if the bat you order is in stock and how long it takes for them to source the bat you order.
