Best Junior bat (size4) for £100
« on: January 03, 2014, 08:02:30 PM »
Looking for a bat for my son. He's 12, lower order batsman, county level and a technical player (not a big hitter). It needs to be light due to his small frame.  He says his current bat feels heavy sometimes. It weighs 2.0lb.

Right, these are a little over budget and not in the size you are looking for, but I am sure they will be able to say if they can get a size 4 and what price.

They do look amazing...

A friend swears by the Charlie French he bought his lad, no idea of cost might be worth a shout.

Or possibly even an Aldred Butterfly, Paul did do a message about junior bats and then re-handling them as they grow

Thank you. The blank with heartwood on the right edge looks nice. Please PM the prices and the weight?

If your gonna spend that kind of money on a size 4 Salix can offer a hand crafted English willow bat for about that price.

Can't get over the quality of junior bats these days. When I was a junior everyone's bats were toothpicks. Some of those have bigger edges than my current bats. How profitable is it for bat companies to produce and sell junior bats like these? Are they made from full size clefts?

I'm sure you will continue to receive posts showing great bats from forum sponsors, but the weight is critical for junior bats. My son sounds a similar player to yours although he isn't a light build so I've dug out his size 4 Salix from 2 seasons and it weighs 1 lb 15oz. So I wouldn't look for anything heavier than that, with a lighter bat it should be a massive help in his stroke play.

Ryan made my son a custom bat he might be worth a talk to.

A belting little bat
