Stuart surridge (best bat ever)
DF (total gun)
Chase (not great)
Jedi (quite nice)
Bulldog (was good but was too light for me)
Easton (nice handle)
H4L (4) (3 very good, 1 not good)
Island (quite good)
Red ink (very very good)
CA (awful)
Roman jacques (average)
Kookaburra (bang average)
Nixon (good but was a bit traditional)
Aldred (3) (2 brilliant, 1 average)
Vulcan (recent purchase, taps up well though and feels good)
B&S (2) 1 absolutely awesome, 1 not good
SS (good at the bottom, nothing higher up)
GN (boring)
Mongoose (1 good, 1 not, but felt lovely)
Stac (plank)
Salix (3) (gorgeous, all of them)
MSR (Plank)
Slazenger (average)
Affinity (3) (great performers felt good too)
GM Noir (need to eat humble pie as it’s actually very good)
Think that’s about it
Before the forum it was just
SS turbo
DF
Salix

All the rest within about 4 years - a bit tragic

I can't even imagine the reaction of my wife and my bank manager.

Most of these were 2nd hand and were moved on for the same price I bought them for. Others I picked up at charity shops/shop at the municipal tip for a few pounds, refurbed, used a few times and moved on. It’s like a hobby where I can rerurb otherwise neglected bats, test them out and then move onto the next ones.
The missus doesn’t mind until they start encroaching into the living room. She’s a keeper.

Unsure on the numbers but going off the top of my head I've had these over the years:

Fearnley: Magnum, Hammer, Gold. Grew up using Fearnley, used to be class - shame about the current incarnation. Would love to see them back at the forefront.
Slazenger: Silver V1200, back in my youth
GM: Chrome Sig, no qualms. Got me 700+ runs, good value for money.
GN: Velocity LE reps sample from Vitas, never got on with it so sold it on
Charlie French: Good performance but went through 2 within the space of 6 months - first split badly but was replaced FoC with no quibble so can't fault CF
New Balance: DC1080 - Orange one, good stick
Puma: Calibre, tiny edges, tiny profile - went like a gun. Probably started my pessimism over the "bigger bats make the ball go further" myth.
Mongoose: Titans of Cricket Edition Cor3 - tad heavy but was a weapon, regret ever selling it! Was used in the ToC event.
B3: No comment - glad I sold it.

There's also one other brand but I'm pretty sure you can all guess :D

Funny story...i had no clue about bats and willow about 2 years ago. So bought a BDM kashmir willow as my first bat off amazon. scored 25 off less than 10 balls in first match. My team mate asked me how much i want for it and what grade it is. ( I still have it though)
Then i started to learn about grades etc and things got complicated and i ended up with 10 bats .
