As I know how much everyone loves a wee bit of bat porn,  and the missus is away and I'm not drinking I thought I'd share some long bladed lovelies with you all.  I'm not going to list the names and numbers....  You'll have to ask if you want their details,  but I think you'll recognise most.

All of them feel like good bats.  Some I'd say are better than others and I definitely have my favourites (and can probably give them a rank).

They all weigh between 2lb 10oz and 2lb 13oz, but can you guess which are which?

Anyway,  time for six of the best....  Enjoy!

What the hell is that one with the red star on it ... Is it from a Russian batmaker?

That's an instinct mate...from what I've read here these are good bat

[Number4]

I would say that would be Tims fav, most pingiest bat

[GarrettJ]

Are,they still around?

[tushar sehgal]

Wow that Red ink looks brilliant shape Tim, how old is the Instinct

[tushar sehgal]

Nah they went out of business before I joined the forum or shortly after. I had nothing to do with it [emoji6]

Interesting stickers, looks like something from the kgb or China

I suppose they were a TK special or imported from Pakistan given what looks like a Pakistan logo on it

Red ink or instinct look like my favourite ....Aldred looks right up my street as well

What happened to SAF bats, weren't tehy supposed to be good?

You are correct,  it is the most pingiest bat.  It's not my favourite though.

Instinct were setup by a forum member and sourced their bats from Keeley. This one was bought when they first started,  about four years ago as a forum special offer,  and was one of their top level bats custom made to my specs. They went bust due to issues with their supply chain (not Keeley).

I personally did not have a good experience with SAF, they gone now. Norms (Andy) had a lot of knowledge and in theory it made sense but there were other issues that make for bad business practices and customers won't return. Look through some of the posts on SAF and you'll know quickly


I sold my top of the line Hades on ebay for 11.50 it was that bad and I was that angry

[GarrettJ]

Sorry Tushar .... Seems like I have brought back some haunting memories for you!

I'm going to have to try a LB, I've never used one. I quite like a LH, everyone seems to say the LBs are well balanced
