Topic: New bat for 2010 - Redback or Bulldog? (Read 7382 times)

Hi All,
I'm thinking of getting a custom made bat for the 2010 season, I know it's a way off but I thought I'd ask people their opinions now so I had some time to decide over the winter period.
I play my cricket in Cumbria making the pitches quite soggy most of the time, which means the ball stays low.
I'm thinking of either a Redback Allegiance or a Bulldog Pedigree (I would request them to have a lower middle if possible). I prefer a bat around the 2.7 weight, if anyone give me some guidance or even suggest another bat you think might be appropriate, I would very much appreciate it.

Cheers

Redback Allegiance mate, Bulldog stuff is up in the air with regards to a few things....

Redback 100%, don't think i've ever read or heard a bad report regarding them. Even Talisman rates him slighty

Whoa there, my praise is little and scarce, not sure Gary deserves it as he prefers shopping in Ikea to sorting out his best customer!

I own a Bulldog Basher and Pedigree, both a great bats especially the Pedigree. I would have no hesitations in recommending them as I have had no problems either with service or perfomance. Plus I like the bold and brash stickers and the fact that so few people have them!

But I think you can not go wrong with a Redback either judging by all the reviews I have seen

Hi Middler,

We have a few of this seasons Pedigrees still in stock. All have nice low middles. If you are intersted just email me and we can sort out a great deal as we need to clear them for next years stock.

Bulldog

Give Gary a ring, he is the batmaker and only sells English willow bats made by himself. Absolutely no contest in my opinion as a bat geek and willow supplier, Redback wins with a knockout from the first punch thrown.

haven't seen many bulldogs around but loads of good redback reviews. Apparently, 'the sweet spot runs the full length of the blade'!

Thanks guys, I think I'll go with a Redback. I'll get hold a Gary towards next season and get my order in - unless there's a pedigree going half price Bulldog?

if you want a low middle then go for the redback surefire

the aligence is a higher middle as the surefire is quite a low middle

hope this helps

Ever thought of an english made Lekka or a Talisman Bat?

Redback

Redback easy peasy.

I'd go for the Redback

I can't comment as to which bat is better, asI have never used a Bulldog!
But am qualiified to say that it would take an awesome bat to be anywhere near as good as my Redback is!!

That said, I think Middler made his mind up a few months ago!
So would be interesting to get an update and find out if he ordered a Redback?
And if so, he should post pics!
