Hmmm. No-one ever mentions Hunts County, yet their Insignia profile has always gone well for me. And M&H S6 is lovely!

Remember seeing this exact post on CSF.... Just with different bats!

Looks like many people are simply jumping on the old band wagon, I've only seen one or 2 MG2 bats from Marty on here so I'm guessing people are posting because a couple of members have said he class rather than what they have actually seen or tested. Not sure id put a bat in my top 5 which ive not had an experience with or tested out a friends etc etc.

1. Redback
2. Talisman
3. Saf
4. Scat, To see what the fuss is about them.
5. there isnt a fifth brand,

I am fortunate to have the Redback and talisman already, I feel the Saf could come in the early spring, Scat, If a bargain one pops up i may purchase.

I have not said Newbery, As i feel other bats in the market are sourced from there, So would not feel the need to get one with a higher premium.

The next 4 would be curiosity buys,

2, GN players bat, working on this.
3, SS players bat, might enquire about this.
4, Laver copy of my Firefly, pressing superb v handle terrible!!!
5, CA players bat, might enquire about this.
