Genuine question- can anyone recommend coloured bat grips that don't leave staining on your gloves? Getting very bored of white grips amd some on this thread look awesome with colour grips!

My collection. Have 2 more stuck in Oz because of the Lockdown so they will be here later on.



Great line up there 👏 Great to see a Scat among them. One of the best bats I’ve ever had.

Slow 'work' day so having a little tidy up of the various bits of cricket kit lying around the house. Any excuse to dig the bats out 😅

Yeah absolutely mate, all shorter blades and slightly different blade length/handle length combinations in there too.

One thing that's universal is they all either play nicely or, with the newer ones, tap up very well. The 'Viking' is a H4L sub bat so a proper H4L may be on the agenda eventually too and no doubt that would be a beaut as well!

Some great looking collections... I either sell or move on before getting another.

Currently down to 3 bats.  I'd feel guilty having so many beauties and feel they deserve a home as I'd be wasting them. That's not a dig at anyone just personal.

I tried this and you can see how well it went 😂

I think I'd feel much the same as you if I ever bought really expensive bats but mine are all sub-£230. By my reckoning the collection is the equivalent of having three G1 customs so it doesn't seem quite so daft!

One thing that I should do but keep 'forgetting' is getting the same bat in weight and profile but in different grades. Like many on here a net/wet/cheap balls bat in a lower grade and a match bat. Just for consistency. AT moment use 2 different bats that are noticeably different.

GM Matrix mate, believe Uzi Sports stock a good variety of these. Alternatively can get different colours on eBay easily enough.

The butterfly you made me is a lovely bat, can't go wrong with one for yourself! Can't wait for indoor nets to give it a run out.

I’ve recently purchased a dehumidifier for the room that I keep my bats in and cannot get over how much water it takes out of the air and how much it lowers humidity levels.

Any experts that can tell me the optimal settings that would be for perfect bats?
