Your First Bat
« on: July 08, 2014, 01:27:21 PM »
I was just wondering what everyone had as their first bat. Mine was 4 years ago in 2010 when I started cricket aged 12, it was a woodworm I-bat and cost me £11.99 from Barrington Sports. Served me well, had some of my best scores of 10,12 and 24* with that bat. I guess you can tell that I'm not a batsman.

My grandad gave me a Hunts County Reflex. Loved it - till I smashed it.

My first shop brought bat was an Open Championship Fibretech thing - played windball cricket with it until I was 11.

My first adult bat was a Kookaburra Bubble Plus.

All will live long in the memory :)

Puma Stealth 2000, the one with the holes in the back. Dale I don't have too many memories with it,  wasn't much of a gun if I remember.

Slazenger V600, everyone wanted one, mine was a low grade model but felt great, sadly I now know it was a pile of poop.

I had some sort of Kook that I've never beenable to identify as it had no model sticker.

It had Green and white striped stickers with the kook logo, form the Early 90's I imagine, got it from a car boot sale for about a fiver when I was 12.

I had the lowest form of Slazenger V1200 that cost about £10.

My first adult bat was a Kookaburra Bubble 4 star. 2'11" in weight as I thought that was about was any self respecting bat should have!  Now I use 2'7" - 2'8".

An SS with a plastic poly coating on it that used to leave little splits instead of cherries (probably Kashmir willow).

My father bought it for me from a sports store, I remember picking it out.  Looking back on it I now realize that the thing was a piece of absolute poo and the only way I ever scored boundaries with it was with the edge!  God that thing had no middle whatsoever!
