Check that thread out for examples of the silver and gold sovereign......at £165 and £205 respectively knocked in I personally would not look any further than that.

That said, the other options you are looking at look pretty good. I would just back the sponsors here as they seem to have an excellent rep

few offers


@185 that looks a beauty......although I see Phil Eaglestone is sponsored by yourselves. Played schoolboy stuff with him at Kent through the age groups at then some games at senior level before he moved over to Ireland! Please never waste any of your good willow on him!

id never buy a bat from an online stockist, you dont know how its going to pick up. id always rather go into a shop and test that as its the most important part when buying a new blade!

Phil is a top cricketer though and a smashing fella!

Anyway, back on topic, so many good bats feel lucky I'm not looking for one (Not properly anyway, although there are a few that tickle my fancy!)

Good luck in your choice!

If you are not sure about the price, just pm some of the sponsors here, including Aldred, the worst is that they will say no. Best case you will get a cracking bat at a decent price. You are not obliged to buy if you make enquiries so I would stop guessing and start making enquiries.

Also you may find a cheaper knocking in service closer to where you are. You will almost certainly need to spend a few hours of your own anyway.

Online stockist are really good as they are very cheap and knock in bats for free.

They are not that cheap once you have added postage. At most you will be saving £20 or so by the time you check out. I would rather pay an extra £20 for the option to feel and ping my new bat.

I can throw a spanner in the works here if you let me know your ideal budget and specifications etc.

Have some lovely bats with me at the moment that could fit your criteria. Would knock them in and oil f.o.c as well :)

Send me a pm if I can be of any assistance.

Take a look at the BR section for pics, reviews etc

There's far too much choice on here. But let's face it. It's not a terrible thing to be spoilt ;)

Exactly

It's not worth the all the hassle to save £20 quid. Plus when something goes wrong it is much easier to deal with UK sellers/ Bat maker (ie; warranty issues).

I bought a SS bat for a my mate from India beginning of this season and now it has cracked from different places , It's not worth sending the bat all the way to India for warranty in this case , We are trying to repair it our selves to avoid the hassle.
Plus UK made bats are much much better quality in most cases.
