Do you give your bats nick names?
« on: March 07, 2016, 10:09:09 AM »
Seeing @WalkingWicket37 refer to his bat as Norman - I wondered if anyone else gives their bats names (other than what they were christened with!)??

I have had the "Boat" (massive keel-shaped spine) and currently use the "Club" (blank bats hulk bat)

Not all my bats get a knick name though, it kind of just happens!

'Useless piece of (No Swearing Please)' is a universal term of endearment for my bats.

At least I hope that's who I'm referring to....

My Kudos is named 'The Fairlady' for no other reason she performs best whilst stroking balls through the covers.

I don't normally name my bats, it's something I've only done in the last few weeks (and I have no idea why) but I also have Wilma the Warbird...  :-[

I've never named a bat. But seeing cams latest h4l bats I decided I may name mine. Name will be released in due time. What do think ? Full celebrity name or a normal name ?

The 'big clucker (think alternatives for the latter)' and 'Little bucker' similarly think of other words  ;) mainly based on size or just how it goes

No. Never have, and probably never will. Much like my cars!

I'm not an 18 year old Daddies girl, but I have named my crappy Ford Fiesta.
It's called Vix, after an ex - as both turned out to be high maintainence & expensive mistakes...
