I'm a fair sized unit, so larger weight suits me better!

And just for procricket, an SS is next!

BAT 14 - SS Heritage

This bat weighs in at a more hefty 2'12 and has 12/13 grains - not dead straight, but nice grains anyway.
I have started to knock it in, and even though this is not the most expensive SS on the market, it still feels a very powerful stick! Before 2009 I didn't have any SS (or Asian) bats. I always rated UK made bats as superior. But the SS has certainly changed my opinion in how good some of the Asian brands have become.

anyway, pics to follow.......

very nice SS bat Pete, sometime one can be lucky with mid range asian bats.

[petehosk]

Yes mate - it's a really decent bat.
Mid range but nice grains and is knocking in really well. 

[petehosk]

The other 5 SS bats I have are all far better quality that this though, and these will be listed later! 

[thaman303]

Pete to me, you can replace its sticker's with "gold edition" that much good it looks, what better qulaity do you see in your other 5 bats ?

Be patient my friend and you will see.
Nicer cosmetically. I know this doesn't always equate to better performance, but they are worth waiting for.

Hoskers old boy, this topic is gradually achieving legendary status, nice one fella!

Totally agree with the above you could always rent a show room and charge to see the bats with the quality and quantity you have could be a winner plus pay for a few new additions to the collection

Peter - so far we have seen some old school, some new school, some asian and some roast beef - I think it is time to have a 2020 course before we get to the really special bats...!

I have to say this is a cracking thread - with excellent photographic work and I am loving the hanging basket too.

[petehosk]

That hanging basket is not my doing.....but that was compliments of the missus!
But I guess the hanging basket and flowers will provide some floral entertainment! 

Thanks for the feedback so far.....And will include at least one T20 bat in the next few days!

BAT 15 - Gunn & Moore Catalyst Original LE

This is my second of only two Gunn & Moores that I own.
I did own an Icon and a Flare in the past, but they were traded a while ago!

This Catalyst is just over 2'11 in weight and as 14 grains.
It's a lovely bat, well balanced and feels great pick up and in the hands.
Even though it is pre-knocked in, I have not yet been tempted to use it, so it's still a virgin bat - all shiney and glossy!

Enjoy the pics.....................
