Folks,

It has been long time coming. I have bought bats that were medium weight, that were heavy, high middle, low middle, middle middle, thin handle, thick handle, bow, no bow, and extreme bow. I have done experiments with custom bats and have bought generic off-the-shelf net bats. I just don't see, there is any other type of bat that I can buy and still have enough time to use it. So, today, I am making the announcement that I have ordered my FINAL bat, ever! I shall no longer buy any more bats. If I need to reach for a bat of any weight category, I will simply reach into my cabinet and grab the weight I need. Its been a long journey but alas, I am done. No more.

And, you are wondering which bat is my final purchase. Well it is an ex-pee eighty, two thousand weighing two pound ten ounces. With oil, additional grip, and a anti-scuff sheet, I will get the weight up to two pounds twelve ounces or more.

This is my first step towards my recovery from this addiction. Hopefully, overtime, I can sell off some of my stock on the forum - I got some beauties that I am not using.

So, wish me luck! I certainly wish myself plenty.

Wish you all the best. My concern will be the shipping cost out of USA.

[Ayrtek Cricket]

Shipping to the US is very reasonable currently so I'd imagine it can't be too bad coming the other way either.

I went through this last year. I'm now on my 6th "final bat ever"

^ Hahahaha

That's what scares me! But, I will be strong and honest about my weakness.

Great epitaph @InternalTraining

Did the same last year and suffered bat buying withdrawal syndrome which can only be cured by getting another bat.

But if it turns out to be "the one" won't you need it copying?

I am currently using what could potentially be my "best bat ever" and I'm getting it copied (by the same maker) next month...

^ You speak the truth and that is exactly what led me to where I am now. "Oh, this bat is too nice! What if it breaks?! I need a copy. I need another. I also need a net bat." I have lost count but the number is between 25 and 30 right now.

where is the Sale thread ??
Specially when you are in the same continent

[InternalTraining]

I will cull the collection gradually. No sale thread just yet.

[Blank Bats]

You can only ever use one out in the middle IT.

[edge]

Hmm... struggling to believe this bat exists?

[InternalTraining]

^ It will be shipped tomorrow. I will post pics once it arrives.

I have bought at least 8 after I decided to stop purchasing and start selling. Now planning on the (next set of) last 2 bats; a GP274 from @GDP1964 & another X3 from @Red Ink Cricket.

Hope my OCD will be cured soon.
