What a great thread- 46 bats is some collection! I love the DF Attack- retro!

I think you should post pics of each showing grains, profile etc on each one- it would only take you around 46 hours!

One big group photo would be good.

Ok guys - this'll take a while to get sorted.
I will aim for a group photo asap. The only group pic I have is 11 bats, so will update this photo this week with all of them.
My original group photo that some of you have prob seen already is here.



Enjoy and loads more to follow soon.

what model purist is it?

[stubbzy]

are you going to be selling any them mate? or swap?

[petehosk]

Purist was eiither 909 or Original - cant remember which!

And not really interested in swapping or selling ANY yet mate!
I would take the fun away from discovering what the bats are like!

[petehosk]

It's pretty boring but can be complicated. But it keeps me in bats!  

And the Laver is a long blade as I am 6 foot 3, so I am comfortable with a long blade or a normal SH!
Its aroiund 2lb 10-11 and is a suberb bat! Lavers were the first really decent bats I ever purchased, and have never regretted it!

Yeah im as tall as you  Pete made of good stock us mate! haha

Once ordered a LH sent it back just didn't feel right, so changed my stance so i tap the bat between my legs to i dont bend as much . . .saves the back! haha

Thought you liked it as it looks well used. . . .

What type of grip do you prefer Pete as there are a number of different grips in that little collection

[petehosk]

I quite liked the octopus grips, as they always felt secure - but people on here have confirmed that they destroy your gloves after alot of use!

So I like those snake scale grips, or whatever they're called.
But my faves have always been the Aero grips, as they are very light, padded, and the grip on them is excellent.
I understand that there are similar ones called Xtrax grips, which are supposed to be as good as Aero grips, so will try those out soon!

The gm shock absorb grip is superb Pete give it a go as good if not better than anything out there.

[petehosk]

Thanks chap - will take a look and try it out!
Will maybe have to do a review of grips as well!
