Don't like the stickers on these at all, but if I had to pick I'd probably go for bat 2

Would go for no.2

Aren't these from Batman on eBay, if so isn't bat 1 2.8lb, bat 2 2.9lb and bat 3 2.10lb?


They are I use a 2.8 2.9 so for me it was between bat 1 and bat 2 have you had any gear off him before he's got some lovely looking bats

Ton bats as they are now known (SS is no longer allowed due to legal case!) are a mix!
Like any brand, you get the different grades of bats. Some will perform well, some will be guns, whilst you'll also get the odd plank!
Ton are a very large company and get tens of thousands of clefts every year. Therefore some will be average clefts. But when you think about it, there are likely to be a very large number of very special clefts in with that huge volume of willow! Unless you can hand pick them, then it is pot luck. But in my experience they do make a very nice bat!

Would I choose a custom bat made on this forum or would I choose a players/LE Ton? If I only had a bat or two in total, I would choose a custom bat made on this forum!! Why? Because I would want to make sure that I have a top notch bat, and would be able to pick the cleft and profile and the custom maker would be answerable to any quality issues!
But as I have lots of bats already, I have 3 Ton in my collection - and LE, a Gladiator and one from IPL player. Do they perform? Hell yeh! One has made it into my main kitbag, so it must be decent!!

I'm sure he is Yash he sold me some SS embossed pads as men's but arrived as Indian small men's - called me personally and we sorted out with little fuss but I had to pay postage - strange as I'd queried and double checked they were std men's 1st.

But I will stress nice guy on the phone and he did refund with no concerns.

He is a decent bloke is nick and sareen are indeed a maker if top bats and they should do considering how many clefts they but.

There pressing is very good there stickers some don't like.


I would go for bat number 2 and I my trip to India was not going I would possibly go for bat 2 myself

I would definitely go for no. 2, overall a better looking bat in those 3.

I love bat 2 and 3 - but as a right hander I'd take bat 2.
