Just Intrigued

[Bats_Galore]

1. Usman Khwaja's bat after "that" leading edge.
2. A Robertsbridge made GN, to compare with the indian made versions which we get in the uk, and the Aus made versions that I have bought from Meulemans.
3. Any H4L, being about the last person on the planet to try them. But one is on its way so won't be on this list for long.
4. CA SM 18 - 7 star.
5. Bradbury - my first custom made bat was made in front of me by Paul when he was working in a barn in Somerset, great bloke, great bat and great experience. Would like another to replace it, since its now in retirement, though would be hard to repeat the first bat.
Just a note that this isn't my list of ultimate bats, as I have had a busy winter, and have some wonderful bats from terrific makers, but these are what I would like now having got said bats over the winter.

I'm pretty happy with my bats right now so I don't really need any of these but here goes
1) Aldred Spectre
2) Laver and Wood
3) GM Mogul or 6six
4) SS Master
5) New Balance (either the blue and yellow stickers or new UK made one)

Another Warner kaboom rep
A gray nicolls 50+
A usman Khawaja Grays rep
A h4l custom close to the Warner kaboom
An Affinty persona close to the kaboom rep

Being a hitter I'm gonna go for five massive bats:
1. Newbery Blitz
2. Aussie GN Warner replica
3. Aussie GN 50+ (when they come out)
4. B3 Crown Pepsi
5. Finally a realistic option: a BB B20 in net grade willow

EDIT: it seems Smilley and I have similar tastes as well as a liking for a ramp

Me too!  I missed out on one a few weeks ago. Uzzie bat is in the cards as well; I'd really love to get an H4L replica of Uzzie or Warner.

warner bats seem popular

warner bats seem popular

With good reason imo. It is one of the best performing bats I have ever owned, I can't say whether the size is the reason, or more likely they are bloody well made bats, by an exceptional batmaker.

In no particular order and just for curiosities shake

Warsop Merlin
BB Butterfly
Aldred Butterfly
CA Long blade (that will last)
GN that's coming out soon that looks like a H4L Tempo (mk1)

[WalkingWicket37]

Well, my 5 would probably be something like:
H4L Hellfire Pro (I though I liked the Warbird shape, but using a Hellfire has converted me!)
One of Asad's "special" CA bats
A BAS of some description
A full profile SS, maybe a Maximus
GM Six6, I loved my old one and still regret letting it go to a teammate

But Benji, you struggled with my 2lb12 NV, the ball kept going past it and hitting the stumps before the bat had come down when I was bowling at you!
