Best bat for around £200
« on: August 01, 2014, 05:06:34 PM »
I've been looking for a while to find bats for around £200, looking for a good quality bat that performs well, preferably a mid-low middle and minimal concaving. Can anyone help me out with some specific suggestions?

You can talk to him regarding your specs.... he will carve one for you for sure.... but if you ask me.....New Velocity is good, but I like his Silver profile.

I've got a Velocity and it is quite bottom heavy. I've got a HitsHard and i've had 4 H4L bats through my hands which are both really good manufacturers, only reason I sold 2 is because teammates wouldn't give me them back!! Also BB, B3 etc will be able to sort you a really good bat for that money.

I have some other B&S bats in stock too.

I have H4L bats either side of £200 in stock that are lovely.

Loads of choice given your budget, send me a pm.

Considered h4l and blank bats but only get a grade 2 from h4l for around £200 would ideally like a grade 1

B3 or aldred butterfly and save yourself some cash (g1 does not provide performance! Pressing does)

Butterfly is an excellent option if you like a cheaper bat. In my opinion, they're no better or worse than normal clefts.

For £200, there is a huge range of bats you can pick. If you would prefer to spend less, then a butterfly may be a good option, but there is nothing wrong with spending a bit more. There are lots of bats off the top of my head I would recommend, what are your preferences in terms of pick up, handle shape and weIght? If you have a peculiar handle shape preference, definitely go for a custom, as I feel handle shape is often overlooked!
