Help me spend some hard earnt
« on: October 27, 2015, 11:26:48 AM »
Have been really impressed with the collective knowledge on the forum, so I hoping I can tap into it for some advise.
Looking for a new bat, know what I like but not sure where if find it.

Wants
mid to low low middle
semi oval handle
full(ish) profile
weight 2.7 and Half to 2.8 and a bit, has to pick up well even with the low middle
not concern about edge size or looks of willow would prefer a ugly blade which goes

am I dreaming? or is the bat available?
suggestions please

Paul Aldred butterfly, maybe silver sovereign profile. Never had a bad one can't go wrong for 170 quid.

Devils officially start at 2'10, the odd 2'9 but mostly 2'10+

@well past my peak

Virtually anything is possible, the key question is how much you are looking to spend? Our custom made package from Hunts might be worth a look, we've done the odd 2'7 with smaller edges. You can even have the bat made in front of you at no extra cost.

Id suggest talking to John at Red Ink.

He could probably custom make this shape in his G3 wood (which is still decent looking) for a very competitive price.

Good to see some sensible suggestions for a change, usually people start suggesting overweight high middled bats in this scenario.

You say you are based where the next Ashes winners are, so you are in Yorkshire then?
