Dave,

I have a blueroom new wave @ 2-11, m&h distinction @ 3-1 in the custom company section. I also gave a kook ccx900 @ 2-8. Pick up on the blueroom is the best out of the 3 and has by far has the better response from tapping up from a mallet. @ £200 match ready the blueroom is excellent value. Hope this helps

I didn't think Spyder's were custom, thought they were just imports?

Dave, if I were you and I had money to buy a bat, I'd either go for tried and tested i.e. what's the best bat you've had, you may as well get another, or I'd go for something I'd not had before but had heard great things about.

Top of my current wish list would be a H4L or a SAF, since they are both British, both critically acclaimed, and both supporters of this forum

Spyder are not custom and do import it a bit of a whim but quite a few of my mates raved about them...

Ref were i normally get them made i no doubt will get another one of them before the season,

I just want something different which makes your forum claim more viable as i have not tried them before

Just seen the Spyder's on Espo's thread - they do look nice!

...but I still think it's good to support our sponsors!

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

I received by GN Oblivion today, very nice bats indeed!

Few suggestions from me;

Perhaps try MB Malik Bubber Sher Limited Edition? They are Asian but they're very good bats. I have three (two are basically for selling purposes) and the one I chose feels great in my hand. Here is the review of my bat if you havent seen it;

http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=7304.0

Another suggestion is Salix. Recently I bought Salix's factory second from Asad and so far I am failing to understand what is wrong with the bat and why it was labelled as Rogue as I can't find any defect nor Asad was able to find any. Anyways, haven't used it yet as I am knocking but seriously it flies off mallet and feels great in my hands.

These two suggestions are based on what I have and have felt.

From lookwise I am seeming to like Gray Nicolls Oblivion and maybe I might snap that soon.

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




You can buy the M&H Distinction that I have. It is 2.10is and has a pick-up lighter hand my 2.9 Harlequin.

The two bats I'd recommend because I've had a chance to use them are the lekka, which is a stonking piece of willow, uk made and James and Kevin will tell you who by, and the m&h S6 which might be even better and I had made for me by nick. Incredible pick up for such a low middle. Also got a nice h4l that looks and feels nice,  but haven't used it yet so it seems unfair to comment.

SAF perhaps? Have yet to see a bad word about them, let alone a bad review!
