The stickers are a bit more modern and blingy...

Better than the previous years, certainly. Although I don't know if they fit in with my perception of what Hunts County should be.

The one in decent contition is 14 years old (scored my highest ever score with it though), the knackered one is about 7 years old, I have another I got when I was 16 which was also seriously special.

Hunts make a tiny percentage of the bats they sell, I have used their offerings when they were a major brand, I too love the Reflex and also the Insignia, they were the most popular bats in the 90's in my leagues. Having said all that I did buy a custom from Tony this summer and even though it was a complete privilege to speak to him the bat was poorly finished and shaped but he was a gentleman and did the bat for a great price.

The idea without getting too deep is simply you can have a bat, any bat, from either of the brands in the World Cup Game, which would you choose? Some might go for one they have not tried, some may go with their preferred brand, some might get reminiscent, it matters not too me, simply which would you prefer. That way you can vote without having tried the brands, surely the inclusion in the positive, it would be a bloody boring game if it were purely on use of both brands.

I must admit that I voted on experience. I have had a Clipper LE which was a great bat, and indeed I still have an Insignia LE which is also quality willow.
It was a tough choice, but the bats I examined from H4L last week were beaties, both willow and balance, and the pick up was gorgeous. That together with the 30 grainer Excel I have tipped the scales in favour of H4L for me.

I must admit that it's reasonably easy at the mo, as I have experienced a high proportion of the bats in this bat world cup. But it will be tougher later when the top notch brands are against each other!!!  :(
For me personally, there will be some really tough choices!

I've been surprised as to how many I've actually used. I think I've used 26 of the 32 brands (either owned or borrowed someone elses and used in nets). Makes it interesting when you get to the higher rounds though...
