Absolutely amazing. The response blew me away when I first bounced the ball on it.

Oh yeah definitely! As much as I love this, it might end up in the for sale section or on ebay. Bought way too many bats and I can't justify having all those, especially with the amount of cricket we play here in the US.

But the best of the lot is the Monty Mace. The ping is simply amazing and it's not even knocked in. For the price I paid for it this probably could be the best bat I ever purchased.
I was planning to use B3 as my match bat next season but now I am thinking Monty Mace!!!

I love a lot of the sticks on here but the CK22 and the Torque are in my top 5 wish list bats....it's almost too much to resist......

Might just be the camera angle but the bow on that vantage custom looks ridiculous. Never seen a bow that aggressive so low down on a bat.

Is that puma bat a pro direct purchase?

You are right about the bow, but it really helps with the pick up as it weighs around 3.6 lbs. And yes, the Puma was from PD.

Wow 3.6 what a monster! What weight does it pick up like?

I saw when pro d put those pumas on sale. Such a good price for an awesome looking piece of willow. Hope it goes well for you.

That Monty Mace looks a quality stick. I'd never heard of the brand before, but will look them up now.

It pick's up more like a 3.0 lb stick.

They are based in London, I was told.

I can only presume this is a thread for Octopuses I myself can only bet with one at a time

^^ blasphemy!!

Spend more time on the forum Kippers and soon you'll learn that you need a net bat, t20 match bat, 40 over match bat, a custom made stick (aldred, laver, red ink), a boutique brand bat (affinity, RPC), a top end bat from one of the major makers like GM or GN or kookaburra, you also need to see what the best of the sub continent has on offer which means a non concaved TON or SF or both. Plus you need to have back options in case 2 or 3 of your match bats get broken. So about 10 or 12 bats is only "normal"

Oh did I mention that once you have caught bat fever (very contagious on here) you won't be able to resist those crazy end of season sales...
