Number of bats currently
« on: October 01, 2019, 07:46:31 AM »

Seeing people saying they have too many bats and knowing how many some of us have,

How many do you currently own (including those that are up for sale, but not ones that haven't arrived yet)

I'm at 4 but feel as though that will be towards the lower end of the scale!!!! and will be down to three soonish!

After clearing out all my kit after retiring.... I have since somehow managed to get the group back up to around 24!! No wonder my missus is kicking off

I’m sure there will be a few on here with more than me @petehosk and @KW9221 being 2, but I have the following

- a pretty decent collection of around 45 classic GNs
- plus around 5 match bats
- 6 net bats
- and 7 or 8 others that are in need or repair or to be used for another bat bench when I have the time.

I have to hide them from my wife as she doesn’t understand why anyone would have so many bats - which bearing in mind I am a bowler is a fair point  :)

4 for me too

Charlie French - my match bat for last 3 seasons
GM Ben Stokes Players Edition - on eBay but probably going to get another ounce or two removed
James Taylor actual match bat - it’s a wand but definitely on its last legs
Adidas bat - hand picked by a forum legend from a batch set aside for the Curran brothers, my nephew is thinking about buying

Can’t see me making any further editions. Tempted with another CF when I get the Stokes reduced

Down to just the 2 now after selling my previous match bat to a forum member, one TK made Pro bat and one G2 of my own that I'll be knocking in for next years nets.

All the others have been lent out or retired :(

Just the two currently

A wonderful Kippax and a new H4L Warbird

Have sold quite a few since owning the Kippax as it is very very good

Five for now. More if the bats I bought from Simon May ever turn up.

Neon G1 - Hunts Turbo Rev profile.
GM Purist 808 - Old school
GN XXX - Wand like
GN Pro Performance -  With 47mm edges
Willostix Slugger - Fantastic feel and sound off the bat. Just too heavy for me at 2,13.

The cupboard under the stairs is really starting to struggle tbh. Im in desperate need of reaching the required posts or a free fee weekend on eBay.

1x B3 3 stripe Bespoke
1x B3 2 stripe Warner
1x B3 2 stripe Root
1x B3 2 stripe Kohler-Cadmore
1x Neon Cricket Green
1x Willostix Spitfire (On its last legs though with a creaky handle and a crack right through the toe)
1x Laminate refurbed by B3
1x GM Icon+
1x Red Ink in the M&H Distinction profile
1x Sondhi blank refurbed by B3

and about 7 others that are more for nets.  Overall 17 but really want to cut that down to about 3-5.

2, one BB I've used for two seasons and one of my own which I'll use next season alongside the BB.

Also just refurbed my old GM Canon but that's just for sentimental reasons rather than for use, so doesn't really count.
