The big bats are the main point of diffence I think, all bat makers are capable of making good bats but if you're some that uses 2.14 plus, no company I am aware of can replicate 50 plus, the Warners and XP 80 models for size, pick and performance. Hell4Leather for me are closest to GN feel, pressing, performance etc.

I would agree with that, i use twigs, but i imagine those that use big weights often get very dense clefts offloaded on them.

Forum hype and fad at the minute like so many before and i have no doubt after.

Some on this forum chatting about bats have never batted long enough to understand a bat or use one properly. :o


Game set and match

I got one of the early ones. Warner kaboom some 2 years plus ago now.

It wasn’t a fad back then.
I wanted a big bat, I use heavy weights, and back then it worked out at 400 quid delivered,
Which to me meant it made financial sense as a high end bat here, was similar. But 2.14 aren’t ten a penny bats.

The bat was phenomenal. Pick up superb, looks superb, ping like no other.

I’ve not bought another since though. In fact I’ve had 2 kooks hand picked by vitas that have performed just as well since.


I fit in daves criteria though, I don’t really bat long enough to judge. Haha.

@InternalTraining as you've misinterpreted my points and I can't be bothered to explain  what I  actually meant, I'll just say "you're right and I'm wrong."
Haha I feel the same way. I am entitled to have my own opinion just like everyone else.

I'm sure I wave mine more around at home than I do at the crease.

Bats are milled?
Machined then finished off by hand?

As much as that would make me laugh, I think when the chap says milled he just means planing the cleft down to size

i have to say...after looking over a XXX11 and watching a guy belt the ball to all parts of the ground over the weekend just gone...an SK XXX has just leaped over a host of other bats in terms of my must have for next season (australia)...personally ive never really had a fondness for GN gear (had/still have an Excalibur from my younger days) but the quality is outstanding

Given my only purchases of the last couple of years have been Ozzie XPs, and they're the bats that I used all last season, for me it was simply that they suit me, and "ping" like crazy. But maybe I just got lucky.

And yes, you read that correctly. I only bought an XP last year!

He kept getting caught rather than the ball falling short of the fielder... ;)

Those Mueleman XXX11s could make an international debut. Just saying. :D
