has anyone owned a warsop/redback or other custom bat and then brought a solitaire and found the performance to be equal? I remember reading a while back that soliatires handles are poor, but then again I have heard some great reviews about rogers bats. 

Tom, have you ever seen/used a solitaire?

I own a Warsop and as of yesterday, a Redback.
And this is certainly one experiment that I intend to do very soon.
Will have one of them copied and see how they both perform!!

I hate to say this but I've seen a solitaire and it wasn't worth the G1 price compared to the other bats available at that price.

There are better bats available for £100 based on the bat I saw.  My dog could have made a better bat, pressing was bad, shaped was uneven and ummm hmmmm it just wasn't worth the money

Cheers norb, Appreciate your comments however I was given an excellent solitaire so have no complaints.

Well as I have said I have packaged up my old solitaire for Roger to copy so the 1/2 bats that roger makes for me this time round will
recieve an honest review!

As a challenge norb, could you make me a better bat for 100 pounds made to the same spec if I sent you one through?

Can I just say my opinion was based on one bat I saw this one Talisman is going on about [ http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=2364.15 ]
I admire your cheekiness but nope sorry not until after christmas [It'll be Stowfords willow  ;D]

Yeah it did look like talisman got a plank, well I threw down the offer to any if the batmakers! I have 100 pounds ready for anyone who can custom make a bat based on the template bat that I send you to compete with the solitaire that will be made in the next week or so. Obviously on recipt of Both I would be happy to so an unbiased review but the bats must be made out of like for like materials i.e grade one willow!

If anyone of the bat makers wants that challenge please reply on here!

You know for £100 it is just not worth making one out G1 willow
