Any of the above from personal use and recommendation. In addition Jake at Vitas has a keen eye when it comes to hand picking quality bats.

i would be happy to go for any of the smaller British manufacturers but if I had to buy today it would probably be a Nixon Storm in a lighter weight as mine is going like a rocket in nets. It just seems that it has a longer middle than my other bats.  Mind you I have had several bats from Solitaire (including kids bats ) and the value is second to none. My other option would be a trip to the Aladdins cave that is kippax . choices choices ....

I understand Solitaire have had fairly bad press in the past with weight issues(but he now has digital weights) and their website isn't exactly up to date - but for a completely UK handmade Grade 1 bat, you cannot go wrong for £150! Which you can also arrange to watch the bat being made which he does all himself. Pressing, Handling, Shaping, Finishing - you name it.

and the 1's ive seen go like mad
