Made my monday that this thread is back, looks like a bit of a beast! Amplus shape already looks massive, but that looks ridiculous.

welcome back Pete.

Here is my mental image of a number of the new members of the forum who haven't seen this thread before...

Can you please sticky this thread so we don't forget about it! My parents think that one is enough, let alone 100!

my collection so far
left to right, old to new, spyder legend 2lb5oz, aldred velocity 2lb7.5oz, red ink 2lb5oz, millichamp and hall original high 2lb5oz, and millichamp and hall harlequin 2lb 6oz
problem i have is manifold - 1. spyder needs to retire soon as nasty split at toe, 2. have loved my spyder so much that struggled to find a bat with same weight and feel with which to replace it, 3. love each new bat in slightly different ways but not least because of their blemishless relative newness and so justifying a subsequent new purchase to prevent the need to defile them, (only used the aldred once in nets, the red ink twice) 4. don't feel good enough to tarnish my new bats yet with match cherries, that is to say i wouldn't mind red marks if they meant i'd scored a fifty but to tarnish them for a single digit score would be very upsetting…
still i like my collection and ultimately they are going to get used one way or the other very soon - just a matter of order - i think i'll save aldred till last or if we travel to any lower bouncing wickets
my last two are the same shape exactly the difference being only one ounce and more grains/ better grade in the harlequin compared with the original high

I think you should start a separate thread, this one belongs to King Hosk and his mistresses exclusively ;).

Great to see this post coming up again, and some bat makers in there we don't here much of any more, I think I saw a Redback in there somewhere along with a chase and a choice cricket bat along with a saf bat. Would maybe be nice if you ever get chance to post some pics of these small bat makers bats on either this or another post Pete as I bet there are a lot of new forum members who have never heard of the likes of Redback Saf Bats etc. Other than that fella keep up the good work and what is your latest bat purchase??

I've just spent 2 nights reading through all the posts in this thread and boy what a pleasure seeing such beautiful willow. Pete you don't fancy selling the DF 5*

I do love the new DF stickers and shape

Hi all - I keep trying to resurrect this topic as I still have 50 or 60 bats to photograph and post details of.
Apologies for being a lazy git and determined to get some stunning willow out by this evening.
