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

Just to let you know that I've a Pro, G3, G3, and a few Devils from Matt.

The best performing bat? The G3 long blade. It's now in the hands of a current international player who may use it competitively.

Buying a H4L G2 is the same as buying a £490 'pretty' stick.

Matt's pressing is first class and he will tweak a shape as well.

Oh, what about Warsop? Tony will make you a belting G1 for that money.

Yeah I like an oval handle mid-low middle full profile reasonable edges not essential though don't mind spending a little more just not £300+

Hunts and Red Ink make the most comfortable oval handles in my opinion. A G1 blank Hunts from Vitas Cricket is £165, which may be your best option!

I would recommend Warsop. My current bat is from there, made to my specs (not too dissimilar from yours) and posted for £185!! Goes pretty well too!

Go for a SS cricket bat. I bought one for £230 direct from SS and it's their top range bat made on Virat Kohli spec. Oval handle and minimum concaving the way you want it. Also a low middle but it has a big sweetspot and pings well from low of the bat to high up. Lovely balance and pick up and the best pinging bat I have come across. You will love it.

I've only seen ss bats with lots of concaving was yours a special request?

You will be confused with the number of choices you can find here. But H4L, BB and B3 would be my suggestions.

No wasn't a special request I asked for their top range ss bat which they make for international players and that has minimum concaving and they said the specs virat kohli uses suits my specs as I wanted minimum concaving. So they made me a bat as they make for Kohli. I have put pictures up and review on this forum in the sareen sports section check it out.
If interested in it let me know I could help you get in touch with them.

Can't recall who but someone from the forum got a gorgeous looking custom hunts from Jake at Vitas. It was a couple of months ago and It was well below 200.

Fattus I think mate. County are well worth a look and very underrated in my opinion.
