Right got a bit of money what should i buy your opinions
« on: December 31, 2010, 07:24:04 PM »

As the title says i have saved for a little while (hide 50 pound a month from the mrs for a few months) and got enough money to buy a couple of bats i have made a decision one 1 to get but i want another wondering what people think and there recommendations....

I like concaving and weight between 2lb 7 to 2lb 10 depending on pick up......

I could be boring and go with another Laver but i would like to know what people on here suggest

GN Oblivion if you fancy a mainstream bat as I think they're very nice bats.

Perhaps consider taking up the H4L offer which ends tonight.

If you have a Laver type budget, you could get a H4L and still have enough for another top bat.

I guess it comes down to what you will be happy with then. If you don't spend Laver type money, will there always be that niggling doubt that what you've gone for will be inferior?

True but as i have pointed out Laver's are special but right now do not justify there price tag as i know they use the same willow as the people on here and i not willing to pay a extra 120 on exchange rate and stuff...

Best bat i have had off the forum was from asad a plain grade 1 ss and will go there again if i can not find something i can give my spec to and choose it in stead of it being chosen for me...

You getting a h4l 666 monster mate? My normal 666 feels great, at 2.9/10 with generous 31ish mm edges :) Would love to see what you get with the monster :)- got the branding on the side of mine, which I think is a very nice touch!
