Hi I’m looking for a new bat, I’m not bothered about big brands as I appreciate most only a select few of the big name brands make their own stuff, I’m also not bothered if the bat is made in the UK or abroad.I don’t really like the idea of buying a bat without first picking it up or looking at it properly but if not I’m confined to buying from one of my local retailers.I’d ideally like to spend 150 - 200 on a grade 1 or 2 Any ideas or advice much appreciated Thanks
U could get in touch with itsjustcricket or eclipse allsport. If you're unable to visit them personally they provide every little detail about their bats. IJC also have a besoke video option where they do a video on specific products in detail upon request. Its like ur actually there picking the bats. You're likely to find good value for money bats too. If not, then your local retailer is ur best option. For 150-200 ur unlikely to find a grade 1 bat. U could look at some GM signatures or 707s
Or, just a thought, he could speak to one of the many forum sponsor retailers that do a bloody good job... rather than a store that imports bats made for the Indian market and sells them from a loft #SupportTheForum
