Decent bat?
« on: June 27, 2010, 04:26:20 PM »
What does everyone think about this bat, reckon it would be any good, or would it be world paying the extra 33 quid for the 4000 model.

Thought that was kind of the point of this forum? 

A £180 small brand custom might be/ often is a much better bat than a £300 big brand top of the range 'off the shelf'. (Or so I'm told.)

Also, bats that are downgraded because of blemishes often play just as well or even better than those that haven't. (Or so I'm told.)
