After a new bat - I have around �250-�300 to spend. Preferably want a bat I can go and choose from the bat maker/company. I am based in South Wales - also want a brand I can rely on for a couple of years - fed up of changing kit every year to a different company.

Current bats - G&M Chrome LE / G&M Mana LE

Looking for a bat with a full profile, top grade willow, thick handle, nice pick up - weighing around 2lb 9oz-11oz. Sweet spot has to be low-mid, like driving the ball on the front foot

Ideas needed, willing to travel 2 hours

Go and visit Tai at @Blank Bats he is pretty close to you. You could get an amazing bat for that budget.

Or speak to any of our sponsors. In range would be Uzi sports, Six sixes, Ayrtek and a few others.

Preferably want a brand, rather than a retailer. I'll take a look at Blank Bats - not to sure what there softs look like. Bit of a kit badger, all protection has to be same make as bat.

Agree with buzz. Message Tai on WhatsApp which is on his website at the top. He sorted be out a a great bat with lots of ping.

His softs are also very nice.

Has anyone had personal experience with Blank Bats in terms of quality of bats, durability and pressing etc?

As a retailer, we stock many brands

We're Based in Bristol so not far away depending on where in S.Wales you are.

Also another option, if you wanted to visit, chat cricket, choose a cleft and have a bat made, Then we can arrange a visit to Chase cricket, they are around 90mins from us

@Neon Cricket - I think he is somewhere in the west country now? He was definitely crunching carrots last time I saw him.

You'd get a lovely hulk profile with that budget

Welshman here - who do you play for?

I've used Tai in the past and his BlankBats are great value. Love his softs as well, thumbs up from me. Used to run his business from his house in Roath, Cardiff, not sure if that's still the case.

Fatbats are based in Caldicot and a number of my former teammates in the local leagues use their bats. I can't vouch for their softs but I'm sure you can check them out if you pay them a visit.
