Hi all, haven’t played a game now for 3 years due to injury but I’m in the market for a bat. My only
Problem is I’ve got no idea where to start. I’ve been using spyderbats through my playing career so far but I am looking for a change up. My budget is £300-£350, usually with a mid to low middle and good edges.
Thanks
That's a very nice budget and you can do a lot with less here.
Before you decide to part with your hard-earned money, I suggest you try out a few bats from your friends' kit bags or even local cricket club if they are a friendly bunch. Tell them what you are trying to do. People are happy to help out.
Lot of times you'll find a bat you like and someone would be happy to sell it to you for a lot less than your budget. Once you understand what shape, bat weight, handle thickness works well (meaning: makes batting easy ) for you , than make a big plunge and buy a "new" bat.
From my experience, bats bought without prior understanding of what works for you, usually result in unhappy purchases. No amount of bat maker's mastery/skill or visual aesthetic can fill that gap (of knowing what works) for you.
My 2 cents.
And, good luck with your search.
