Makes perfect sense as I said you cannot use these bats in matches. Also a bat maker makes bats, extra effort or not , its their job. Performance is better is a another debate as per the laminate threads on this forum. £260 is steep for a net bat is all im saying :)

Then go and buy a net bat from MSR! These are made for the people who want an illegal bat. There's such a small market for these, that a bat maker won't bother if he has to charge less. Yes, it's their jobs, and it's also their products. They will charge what they deem fit, just as they will choose what they make. You will pay for what you think is worth spending your money on.

Job to tell Chad as I didn't use it that much. Off the mallet it's as good as the laminates I have used but I was so bad this season I don't think I hit one out the screws with it.

Pretty much sums up most of my season! Looks lovely, may have to see if I can dig out any bats for a trade in!

Why have a net bat anyway ?

Have you ever picked the seam when playing cricket ? Have you ever not walked when you nick one behind ?

What standard do you play zawarrior ?

hypothetically, how much would it cost to have one of those lams made to specification?

So your decent match bat doesn't end up getting damaged by the plebs using cheap bat breaker balls!
Because we train even if the nets are wet, so you don't want your match bat getting damp.
Prolong the life of your match bat.

Fair point. Should try and improve your nets as well as you need to practice with the bat you are going to use in a match.

I have never picked the seam and have always walked when nicked it. Play in middlesex league championship. Played in the premier league for stanmore since i was 14. Have played for middle U17 u19 and 2nd XI. Not the greatest player but not the worst either

Laminates probably not for you then.

Which team do you play for ?

You should not have a net bat. Just use 1 bat.

Was it harrow you played for this year ?

Out of interest which one of the 3 is the best performing? Longest and widest middle?

I can use one in my league. No-one would check my bat.

There is no point buying a net bat, unless it is almost identical in weight and balance to your match bat.

Great looking bats and lovely profiles. But why spend that much on lam's if you can't use them in matches?

I have a 3.5lb Vantage Custom lam and it is and absolute beast. And the ball absolutely rockets off of it. And I still feel it needs a bit more knocking in.
