Has anyone ever found that perfect bat?
Is it out there?

[rockymoghal]

I think I am still looking. Guess it gives me a reason to keep buying lol. I'm not sure if there is such a thing as the "perfect" bat. I would think every bat will have some pros and cons and you just have to find the bat which has the fewest cons. Would be interesting to hear if anyone does feel they have the "perfect" bat.

What I have found is that I am constantly struggling between what I want and what works for me. Obviously most people want a bat that pings everywhere and picks up like a feather. I really like bats with a mid to high middle but my style of play means I hit lower down on my bat 99% of the time. Really tough when I see an almost perfect bat but the middle is just too high or its just too heavy, which means I would never get the most out of the bat. Just my thoughts

Had one that suited me really well looked good sad picked up well, then it broke still trying to find one that I feel the same about!

I'm using a Hunts County Pro in a Rev Turbo profile. It has great pickup and rebound.

It's keeping a H4L on the sidelines and the great thing is I've got another Hunts Pro waiting in the wings.

And to think I tried to sell it on here.

Anything made by Marcus or Matt has been perfect for me so far. Good communication is the key to good bats, these two are the easiest to speak to and they provide what you like! It's a pleasure to speak to Marcus! He'll talk to you about your game and make you what you need!! Jake has been a very good person to sort stuff with Matt! Got everything I asked for and more through @Vitas Cricket

Currently my puma 6000 platinum is the perfect shape and feels perfect on my hands tried to recreate that feeling using other bats and had no look so I think I'm going to get it mapped so ive got the perfect bat for the rest of my playing career

I think that I have this year! GM Mana OLE 10 straight clean grains and has assisted me to an average of exactly 100, just goes everywhere. I think she's the one...

Lively feeling when you get a bat that just suits perfectly isn't it!!

I'm desperately trying to find another! Having started the season with 1 I'm up to three when the latest arrives! Hopefully one of these suits well!

I have two bats niether is perfect custom made Hawk its light picks is great high  long middle but at 2lb 4 lacks power.
Warner off the shelf Kaboom at 2-9  as plenty of power but can't swing it  also find it unweldy and are currently considering reducing the toe aiming for a weight of 2lb 6 or 7 ounce.

I used to have the perfect bat. Perfectly ruler straight grains, blemish free, 70mm spine that ran from the bottom of the splice to the toe, 50mm edges. Long forgiving middle the smashed any ball to the fence, would even hit the gaps without even trying.

All this and weighed only 2.9. But I ordered 2.8 so had to move it on.😜

I use several bats during a season weighing from 2.6-2.12, the weight makes absolutely no difference for me personally. they all perform well. My lack of ability/form is the only variable.

My perfect bat would have to be an extra wide one the way I'm playing at the moment.

To replicate how I was seeing them yesterday, try hitting a squash ball with a bamboo cane

In love with my current bat for more than an year now, haven't cheated even once since I started using her. I think she is the one.
