I think I currently have:

2 in the bag, a Black Neon Two and a Pink Neon One
An older bat refurbed as a Blue Neon that goes like a train that I lend out (although the toe re-breaks every other use)
A pink Neon Players, it's ready to go but I have no need to change the two in my bag at the moment.

Then not in use (I really need a clear out)
A Chase Finback R4
A Chase Volante R11
An old SS covered in butterfly stains (currently blank)
A 90's Kippax
2 Hunts County Customs (G1 and Butterfly)
GM Purist 606 (the best shape ever!)
Ace of Elland Road
Scat
M&H Puma
Puma Gilchrist Classic
A blank slazenger V5 from the TK batch
2 sports direct GM Chromes
A blank £30 bat I used to practice with my bat making tools
CA T20 (think it's from circa 2009)
An old M&H with the classic stickers
Mongoose MMII (or whatever the original T20 version was called)
A H4L cleft I need to finish shaping

I think that's everything, but there may be a couple of others lurking in the garage :-[

Desperately searching out now bats as a result of this post!

In need of a clear out as I have accumulated a lot of cheaper bats due to getting good deals on them, but they have just ended up sitting in the garage collecting dust. I'm going for quality over quantity for next season!

1x BB custom (In need of a refurb as it was my match bat last season)
1x Phantom dark edition (Toe has gone on it, not sure it is worth getting refurbed as the split is all the way through the toe. Real shame as it's an absolute cannon.)
1x GM Haze 606 (Net bat from last season, will sell)
1x GM Zelos 606 (Got a good deal but never used, will sell)
1x Kookaburra ghost lite (Never used, will sell)
1x Laminate (Never used, will sell)
1x Slazenger V1000 (Great bat for 50 quid, will be my net / wet weather bat for next season)

In the bag

1 x Keeley Pro Custom
1 x Robert James LE
1 x H4L Butterfly

Beautiful but can't really get on with:
Salix Pod G1 - bought for me by my wife

In the metaphorical wood burner:
1 x GM Neon LE
1 x Uzi Black Mamba
Both have shoulder cracks and are justifiably ready to be retired.

Posterity bat:
Laver PB from the original CBF Laver offer. Was great in its day but now a bit dead.

Probably, but they’re all pingtastic, and I’m a sucker for softish pressed bats with straight grains!

Match bats: CA (SM), Keeley (Blitz shape)
Bats in preparation: Keeley Blitz shape x 2

Bats in storage: quite a few CAs, Keeleys, GN Kranzies, brand that rhymes with "performance free", LWs, MH, Kippax (old stickers), and an assortment of singletons.

Moved quite a few on since starting to make my own, leaving me with 9 functioning bats. Probably a few too many but may well shape myself another soon.

3 of my own shapes - one huge all over, one Root shape concave, one classic shaped. Mainly use these in proper matches.
Puma I've rebalanced - never quite got on with it before reshaping the handle and taking some weight out, now a great backup bat.
Aldred Silver Sovereign butterfly - wand, quite cracked.
2x Mongoose - one mmi3, one cor3, both rare hit and giggle outings.
GN Nemesis - as above, lovely players cupboard sourced bat but doesn't see much use these days.
Phoenix Black (local brand, suspect Hunts made, very old and dying so only sees indoor net use).
