Wow
Even to ask that question is something
I have a Nv g1 and it's a rocket, three of my team mates asked to use it last season and it goes big time,
Never used affinity but heard very good things, most love the toro bat they used to do,
As for grays ask a supplier, vitas, itsjustcricket or Asad and they'll give you more info.
But I do love my h4l

Are these 3 brands you've narrowed your search down to as there are loads of manufactures on here that can make a custom bat for you, B3, Red Ink, Blank Bats, Aldred, Ryan Kelsall etc

B3 give you the option to customise every part of the bat design, weight, handle, cleft and it won't cost an arm and a leg if you go for the lower grade willow.

£100 bat and £300 on coaching?

You would be more likely score more runs...

Mind you the 110 pound f18 gn from Vitas would definitely be a good off the shelf solution, if gray nics is what your after.

Out of these three, Affiniti are decent bat but can't really offer the full workshop experience.
GN are pretty expensive but if included a trip to Australia and have Stuart Kranzbuhler make my bat then it would get my vote  ;)
But as there is no trip to Aus included, and as the H4L bats I have are fantastic, this is a no-brainer!

Two of the best bats I've ever owned have been from GN through Asad at Uzi and Matt at H4L respectively so you won't go far wrong with either of those. It all depends what you're looking for. For me my GN edges it because it truly was a ridiculous piece of willow and i was just lucky that time around to get something that was huge and light. If you're spending £400 it depends what you're looking for from the bat exactly and who would best fit those requirements. Surprised you're not considering B3 if you're spending that much and with the level of customer care they offer when you purchase. But I would echo Buzz's thoughts. So if you're loaded get one of these and still go and spend the money on coaching as well! I've had some over the winter for the first time since I was at school and it's made a huge difference. Then again you may be a superb player and not need it.

This sounds like a man without a H4L custom...

Do we all need to start chanting "Do it, do it, do it"...?
