Guys does anyone know the difference between Slazenger g4 and fusion bat?

I think Fusion is Grade 3 not 4. g4 stands for grade 4.

I've been lurking around the forum for couple of years and finally decided to contribute something. I must admit this forum makes you buy quite unnecessary equipment but oh well! why not?



1) Blank Bat - Lovely blankbat.co.uk bat. Refurbed and stickered as a B3. It is 2.7 lbs and it was my very first English bat.
2) Salix SLX - 2.7 lbs. I've only played couple of matches with it and it goes off like a train in the nets. It will be my next match bat probably.
3) Salix SLX - 2.7 lbs. It was going really well until it broke from the spine. It has been repaired but I only use it in the nets.
4) CA SM 18 7 Star - 2.8 lbs. Huge bat for the weight. I've only used it in the nets and it picks up unbelievably light for it's edges.
5) Newbery Kudos - 2.9 lbs. Very light pick up. My most reliable possession and it is in it's 4th season. It gets a refurb every year with new scruff sheet and oiling. It is my match bat and the sole reason for me to not try the other bats I have in my collection.
6) Newbery Kudos 2 - 2.9 lbs. It's not in the picture as it is gone for refurb. Not as impressive as Kudos 1 but I hope with time, it opens up and performs like Kudos 1.

Some of the gloves. Gray Nicolls Legend are my match gloves followed by SS Gladiators.

Haven't used these as much I would like to but will be used in the nets

@RightArmLedge I think a couple of coats of oil will do it good

Your SM18 looks lush @number3. Huge for 2.8 but a mid-high middle

Too much rubber over the knobs!

@ballinger nice couple of sticks there! Personally, I am certainly not a fan of the M&H bat, it seems obscenely big  ???

Too much rubber over the knobs!

Which is never a good thing - it can lead to friction burns when fiddling about with your weapon.
