SS Gladiator, Ton reserve or MRF Grand edition (Virat kohli)
« on: March 24, 2017, 06:01:30 PM »
Looking to buy a new top of the range bat but don't want to spend more than £300. The options I am deciding between are SS Gladiator, Ton reserve or MRF Grand edition (Virat kohli). Does anyone have any experience with these bats or would anyone have a preference?

Thanks in advance!

Go for Reserve edition or Gladiator. They are basically the same bat with different sticker.

TON Reserve would be my first choice followed by SS Gladiator.

MRF bats have a problem - their handle quality is very poor. I had one good MRF Grand edition bat whose ping was very good but handle was very poor. Got the handle replaced and the bat turned out to be a very decent performer. However its not worth the hassle ... replace the handle of a new bat is certainly not a good sign.

Maximus seems an awesome bat , cheaper too . Or to play devils advocate , if you really like the look of the kohli bat and shape , you could always get B3 to make an exact replica , and put mrf stickers on it .  ;) :D

I Have a Gladiator and it is a Gem of a bat, big profile and serious performance coupled with great balance.
Also would look at SG Players (i have one as well)

While I don't have a Ton Reserve (it is on my list of to-purchase bats) I have two gladiators and an MRF.

I love my Gladiators, both bats are fantastic - but my first one was better than the second (in terms of the way it plays).

The MRF is just as good. It is still going well after a season of use.The MRF is definitely one of my favorite bats in the collection (the Gladiator is my favorite - I found the MRF a little softer from new compared to the Gladiator).

I can only guess the Ton Reserve is as good as the Gladiator, although a little bit pricier.

Personally I don't think you can go wrong with any of the bats. Buy whatever feels the best in the hands - or if you can't feel it before purchase - buy the one with the sexiest stickers!
