Hi All
My lovely fiancee wants to buy me a present, so I obviously thought of a new bat. I usually just go for an M&H in the end of season sale, but was thinking of getting something different this time, as it's a gift. I still wouldn't really want to go over about £250, as that would just feel a waste though.
A few questions, which I'd love people's thoughts on:
What do people generally think of M&H? My basic thought is they're very good, but overpriced unless it's in the sale?
My home ground is notoriously low bouncing, and as a result, I've turned into a front foot bully. Currently using a Solution
http://www.millichampandhall.co.uk/Solution_bat/solution.html which I think is particularly low, even for a low middle bat. I'm starting to find I'm hitting it higher up quite often, and was wondering about getting something with a low, but less extreme middle.
I score enough runs (avg 35ish last few seasons) but don't think I'm a particularly natural timer of the ball, so was thinking about getting the biggest/most forgiving middle, rather than at the moment, where if it's in the middle it's gone, but feels a bit amazing or plinky, with little in between. Would something like a GN scoop be a good idea? If you can even still get these from last year??
Also wondering if the people who grow their own (Kippax, Salix?) are worth getting, as they save the best for themselves, or if that's just a gimmick?
Other thoughts I had were B&S, or Screaming Cat, when they're available again, so I don't stray too far from M&H!
Anyway, I'd love some thoughts/suggestions!
