you've come to the wrong place if you want people to endorse you spending £400 on a GN or GM.

you'd be better off spending £400 on two bats from one of the smaller batmakers on here, which is more likely to last you a couple of seasons.

take a look at what's on offer from B3 and Blank Bats and you'll be impressed by the quality on offer

Think what rich is getting at, is that for 400 notes you could easily get two custom made sticks from a forum bat maker on here, rather than forking out that much for a single bat from a big named brand.

I have plenty of GM and GN options to suit. I have the GM pictures to hand but can provide photos of other bats when I get to the shop later today.









As richthekeeper says, there are plenty of top end bats that will not cost as much. I have some lovely B&S stock in at the moment, their top of the range bat is £230 from us.

Send me a pm if you want to discuss mate.

I was so angry with one of the lads I coach forking out £350 for a GN Powerbow Generation X LE.

It just isn't worth it - branding in action.

If you are hell bent on spending £350-£400, speak to Dave @ B3. They will produce you something EXACTLY to your specifications. This will include crown wood (Grade 1+), pressing, shape etc.

However, as said, you could get two Grade 1 bats from the forum guys here for the price of one GM OLE or GN LE.

For that kind of money you can buy a Laver I'd have thought?

Please take a look at our website and videos to see what we do and how we do it. Why spend that kind of money on a production bat when you could design your own?

Well then why come asking for a bat on here, if GM already meet your requirements! Seems simple - buy a GM if they are perfect for you already :)

You asked for Advice and Dave gave you his.
No need to be snide about it. Anyways, there are plenty of other options that aren't overpriced such as GM or Gn.
What about the aforementioned B3? Uzi sports pro bats? Hitshard? BB? H4L?

Nothing worse than showing a bit of sarcasm now and again
