New bat, but what to buy?
« on: January 28, 2010, 08:45:51 AM »

If you had 300£ what would you then buy?
I need a new bat for this season, so what would you prefer?

I'm looking for a bat with good edges, around 2.8 in weight, sweepspot a bit high.

I'm a top order batsman for my club, and mid order for the danish A-national team, with a bit of agresiv style. (I like Kevin Pietersen style)

I have looked a Newbery, Salix, Warsop, redback, screaming cat, Gunn and more, but i'm open to everything.

thats what our models are based upon as they have a slight bow in them and low middle...perfect for the slow and low Bristol pitches!

I would go for the Redback Allegiance LE model or the Newbery GT335 SPS.
I think if I wanted something specific, then the Redback would get my vote as they will do you a bat to your specific requirements!
And after taling the Redback into the nets on Sunday, I am definitely convinced!

Matrrixx are class bats (custom made you should check them out) and from what I have heard and seen I would say Solitaires, in fact I just have ordered one :)

Or indeed a new Ayrtek 2010!
I believe the Ayrtek bats for 2010 are now made by Newly formed WillowBaron!! So thats surely an option too??

There you go TheRubin....my choice would be either a Redback made to own spec for around £180-230, depending on whether you want Premium grade 1, or Limited grade 1 willow - my Redback is premium and feels gorgeous, so heaben knows how the LE would feel!
OR it could be 2 Ayrtek bats for youe budget. I believe he has just got a delivery of 10 in (in one of the Ayrtek topics) so could be worth checking out whilst the choice is there.
There are lots of decent bats around, but your budget sounds adequate for any bat - even a Laver & Wood or Screaming Cat. But I don't feel that you should need to go that far afield to get quality!

From all the Redbacks I've seen you can't go wrong with them.. If you want a Newbery contact Mike (Tailsman) and ask him to get one made to your specs. I'm getting a Krakatoa with the Perfect Storm Labels.. Should have it in about 2 weeks or so..
