@drmimran Really pleased all has worked out well for you. A big sigh of relief from everyone on here Im sure.
Youve got plenty of sound advice on here so you can get back to the fun bit of looking for 1 perfect bat for you.
Looks like youre starting in a good place by checking out OX29 Bat Doc. Teammates of mine have bought bats and repairs off him over the years and very happy with everything.
If you can have a good read of reviews on here and YouTube videos I’m sure you’ll know where or what you want. Or don’t want.
And the good news is you now have 2 functioning cricket bats so there is no rush to make any decisions. I hope you get to visit a local shop or 2 when youre ready and have some fun trying out all the different bats with no obligation. Buying a cricket bat should be fun and a nice experience so hopefully you get that shopping experience. And afterwards if you love it that much you can think about buying a copy. It took me 6 months to research and buy a bat once so take your time when you want to. Look forward to seeing what you eventually settle with. Feel free to ask anything on here at anytime. That’s the idea of the forum!
