agree with tim2000, most of the forum have no idea just how good some of the older bats were. the reflex was the bat to have in the early nineties. its all about the last 3 years and reviews on this forum. I have no problem with it on that basis.

I agree I think this is harsh on Hunts - they don't have the branding that H4L has, the fact that they made the woodworm bats and make some of the Mongoose bats people seem to forget. I also think that the County bats suffer as they make so many cheap bats for kids

I am sure that Matt's bats are fantastic, but having used 5 or 6 hunts bats, they are wonderful. They were my bat maker of choice for 10 years, which says something for me.

Well had my first proper bat in 94/95 and was a slazenger so will take your word for it as the hunts I have used (including woodworm) were not that great may have been unlucky will never know but very few brands in the list I have not used tbh

The thing I remember about the Reflex was its huge profile. It was a big bat.

Out of interest, how are people voting? I've tried to not vote on gear i havent used, just wondered if people are doing the same or in the case they havent used that brands gear they are just going for company profile/friends recommendation?

What I have used ( 24 out of the original 32 ) then what I would like to use

[Julesoak]

This is the only one I've voted on, as it's the only one where I have used both brands fairly recently. Owned and used a few Hunts (including Modulos, Reflex etc), but my 666 is a fantastic bat, the best I've had.

Same as roco, doing it by my own experiences. Hunts are getting a bit of harsh treatment, they don't advertise, and they don't get as much publicity, but they make some quality bats! not doubting that matt doesn't, just seems a bit unjust, that's all!

Going firstly on what I have used, secondly on what I have seen others using, thirdly on what I would choose to buy given the choice of the two.  It's a bit of fun, so I am voting on them all.  I'm sure not many folks out there have personal experience of more than a few brands.

Im using the same method Mark is using

My old man knows the rep for albion and incredible cricket co. and told me that hunts make their bats too- wasn't 100 percent though. Have used a couple and they were ok, though had little to choose from. Were great value though as got them for (No Swearing Please) all!
Won't be getting one again mind getting a newb off the talisman- feels better to pay for our own bat.

shame hunts are going out by the looks of it! cant wait to get another custom off them in the next couple of weeks! hope they've improved the stickers though.... they're not as classy as i would like.

as for voting i simply have voted for the brand i would choose if offered the best bat possible from each (if that makes sense?!)

Jimba - if you are getting a custom Hunts and want some classy stickers - see if they have any Caerulex stickers like these, oldies but I love them, they remain my fav bat stickers:
