2lb7oz Kookaburra Blade 950 stickered as a Ricochet. 112 from 84, followed up with 90 from 68.
Plenty of 50s with my Ice and one with my Flare, and a couple this year with my Impulse.






Absolute gun, I've included the last pic to show how skinny it is. Only one use this season as I bulked up after being ill and it ended up being too light for me :( It is surviving my clear out though, definitely keeping it!

Here's my old faithful.
GN phoenix 1000. 2'7. My previous highest score was 38 I think and then one day had a bit of luck and scored 107. My second and third hundreds were scored with a GN phoenix 380. Unfortunately it died mid last season and now I'm a gm boy at the moment

Some low grade Kashmir willow BDM.
Hit 12 sixes in reaching tripple figure in a 12 overs game.

It was perhaps not the bat. The cricket ball looked a soccer ball to me that morning.

During a small break between overs, I remember the opposition team had a small meeting and one of them walked up to me and said, "You need to see a Psychiatrist". The seriously thought I had gone insane.

My club mass purchased from Larssons. I bought the Britannia cause it didnt look like the other RNS bats. Scored me 138* in 2007. Since the tons been made by a custom from Solitaire, Marlin Cricket, and the CA 15000 limited edt.

Ps. Cant believe anyone can actually bat with the CJI Sumo, unless they themselves are giants. Monstrous bat!

My first ton was scored with a Hunts County Steelback in the Leicestershire leagues when I was 16 (12 years ago, unbelievable!) and I think has a nice story to it. I was using my brothers old bat (HC Vision Custom Classic) before breaking the toe in the last net before the season began. My now late father took me to Hunts County to pick a bat, and despite going in for a more expensive model the Steelback model called out at me in long handle, and was about £85. I used it without netting and hit 101 in my first game with it. Unbelievable. My dad made a deal with me the winter before and said if I scored a men's 50 he'd give me £50. As he just bought me the bat I told him to forget the deal as being farmers we were not made of money! When I got home from school the following Monday (after telling all my mates about my glorious knock ha) I found an envelope with £101 in. :-)

That's actually quite a nice story
I've never got a ton but my 'goose cor3 is serving me well! So well I'm not going back to a conventional blade length anymore!

If one comes up, try a affinity toro. An amazing short bladed bat!

Yes I've seen the IJC reviews and the look like guns, but Marcus doesn't make them anymore I don't think, so it's eBay or bust

Also looking at the Newbery Blitz, but the weight is too much so my preferred option is a Phantom t20 Spirit - they're massive for their weights

If one was in a devious mood (which i am) then one might suggest the two bats, but for stickers, are the same bat from the same maker, the weight thing is likely to be marketing from the respective brands flogging them.

Mine came from off here, second hand beauty! But they are rare in the market. Keep your eyes peeled.
