I'm shocked that I've owned more brands than you CD!

To be honest, I haven't tried any new brand in the past two years, I wish to try Alred and then I will equal with you .

Next week I will post review of Gray Nicolls I get from Australia.

[northernboy1987]

Only 4 brands in about 12 years of playing, covering only 7 bats, I think I need to broaden my horizons!

Hunts County (First bat, can't remember the name, great bat though!)
Woodworm Wand
Woodworm Torch
Woodworm Flame
Woodworm Satellite
Kookaburra "Biggest Kahuna"
Hell4Leather Hellfire Monster

Thanks WW, it's been a hard transition for my SO to make from me not only being obsessed with the game but now being obsessed with the gear too haha!

I thought the kind of first wave of Woodworm bats were great, the Flame I had is still a weapon, our opening bat has been using it for the past few seasons, he's just got a H4L NV on my recommendation though, might have to introduce him to the forum too

Not bought many in last couple of years

I've already had one of those.... Should I have mentioned it separately? That would take me to 40!

I would say so because they are two separate makers, and this topic ask for makes.

40 is good, more the better

[eukaryote76]

7 makes in chronological order:
Gunn & Moore Maestro
Duncan Fearnley Magnum
Gray Nicholls Powerspot
Spyder Legend from Stoke
Red Ink custom and Red Ink Sirius
Aldred Velocity and Aldred Spectre
Millichamp & Hall Original High and Millichamp & Hall Harlequin

GN was my favourite mainstream brand with good finish, performance and reasonable price in those days (90s). I gave it to a friend when he got into cricket, as an adult, and I moved away. I use it in the nets (+/- bowling machine) when I go visit. I have great fondness for it but when I last used it the fibre tech sheet was disintegrating with every shot and embedding itself in the bola balls. Crazy thing is it's having a second wind. My mate is sending to GN to get a refurb, so may post some before and after pictures soon.

M&H play well and I love their shapes but the finish is some of the worst I have come across. Meanwhile Red Ink and Aldred are my favourites in every regard, and imagine buying more kit from them one day.

Would like: H4L Hattori, Blue Room /RPC Bombora or New Wave😀
