Not one of the biggest collections @Calzehbhoy but certainly a good 'un, two of the most sought after bats in there with the original purist and an XP80

[Calzehbhoy]

Couldn't get two bats further apart in the design philosophy!

Must say the XP80 is unreal of the mallet. I've been knocking in the Warbird, 50/50 & XP80 this morning and the XP80 is miles ahead of the H4L's on the Ping'o'meter!

The XP80 and the Original Purist?
I'd say they're pretty similar in principal, with thin edges, a high spine (one a lot higher than the other) and a full shape so there's plenty of wood in the hitting area.

What I wouldn't give for a purist... I regret selling mine to this day

Here is my small collection.

@jd163 small yet expensive collection. I really like you GN 50+ and B3 bats. Are they around the same specs or each is different?

[jd163]

@KW9221 B3 and GN are different profiles. B3 is TKC pepsi shape with 70mm spine and 45mm edges with Mid profile. GN50+ is longblade 55mm edge and 73mm spine in Mid to high profile. I am getting my GN50+ copied by B3 now.

@jd163 that Spartan looks a fair size piece of willow. Nice collection which are or is the match best from that lot

I thought your B3 was somewhere around 35mm edge size especially being next to GN 50+. Your GN 50+ is a monster mate.

@SOULMAN1012 Spartan is an unbranded Laminate. Yes it is pretty big with 45mm edge and 68mm spine with 2-13 weight. Currently posted for sale via my friend's ebay store.

My match bat for 40 over match is B3 TKC and for T20 i use USSZ (50mm edge  and 60mm spine 2-12).
Aldred and F18 are currently being used in nets and for backup.

Check this pic .. ABD used to have this on his Kahuna bats ...

Good spot.

Can only assume it was standard on Non-UK Kahunas?

My friend uses Kook onyx 1000 - made for australian market. It has the same edge decal. I think its safe to say non-UK Kook's had this branding ... I will try to get some pics of the Onyx bat.

All the Indian models had the same edge sticker.

I think Mo had a bat Roth this edge sticker, but can't find the evidence.
