Bat buying Advice - Urgent !
« on: July 26, 2016, 04:25:33 PM »
Hi Everyone,

Recently joined this forum and I am really excited. I am playing for SCC at the moment, currently looking to buy a new Bat. Previously, I was looking to buy Gray Nicolls but now I have noticed bats prices gone down and I am thinking to buy Slazenger V1000 Fusion. I am bit confused, shall I go with Slazenger V1000 Fusion (£49) or V1000 G3 (£70)? what's the difference? Also, Which GM and Gray Nicolls bat is better under £100 price range?

Thanks in advance.

literally a can or worms type of question.

Price might not equal performance

Performance might not equal looks

The only chance you have of getting the right bat is to go and pick some up in the shop and get a sense of how they feel.

Willow is graded, the higher the grade the more the price... is a general rule of thumb so fusion is a lower grade than G3. At 100 your options are limitless... go a pick some bats up and take it from there

They kind of are limited, though, aren't they?

The proper forum answer is just buy (at least) one of each...  :D

Thanks Everyone for the advise.

I have been away from cricket from almost 8 years and recently started playing, that's why wondering what kind of bats are more popular in UK. I remember in India we used to play with Kashmir willows which even last long because English Willows was more like luxury for us :P There are sales going on where all bats price reduced now. Now I am wondering which Company bat should I trust? Slazenger, Gray Nicolls, GM or Kookaburra.
