I had a hit with a MRF Genius (the bat Sachin uses). It was magnificent, although a little heavy (3lb) for my liking.

Yeah i tested one out when selecting my latest bat...but like u found it to be a little heavy when playing the horizontal shots.
Just as well weighted as the Bas - Vampire bat that im using at the moment. Top bat the MRF though.

Newbery, Salix, Impala etc are all available at Kingsgrove Sports in Sydney - bit pricey though.

 

[guess_who]

V800 Select

 

[manmountain]

Gray Nic Longbow Titanium Longblade 2 12oz.

Beast.

In my experience Kookaburra manufacture rubbish, and I'm yet to meet a person with a V800 who doesn't wish they'd bought something else. Having said that, the V500 from last season (not available this year) is a magnificent bat.

Puma bats have great feel and power, but they tend not to last as long as a lot of other bats. Trade off between performance and longevity (and saving $$$)

Ive had to retire but may make a comeback. due to work commitments.

i used a Slazanger V 800 but i didn't get out there much, i normally used a 25 over worn Kookaburra Leather.

If i start up i might get a good MRF because they are little beauties.

Yeah I have got one as well. Hand me down from the old man, wasn't a bad stick actually. Now have a Gray Nic Ultimate, being a bowler, it hasn't really seen much action.

I have a brand new Newbery Mjolner 5 Star, beautiful bat. Didn't like the stickers on it as they are a bit boring so i have put Puma Classic stickers on it (Very similar shape). Looks the goods and plays even better.

County 1000 Unique Double Scoop

Some from Melbourne might have come across the MC from Maddocks, they are sensational bats

 

[Nandoz]

Just came off 5 beautiful seasons with my v100.

Now have a personalised Gray Nichols Rapier with Titanium core.

Beeaaauuuddiiifffuulll!

 

[funk44]

I have a DD-Slasher

best bat ever made

 

[eth-dog]

I currently have a Kashmir Slazenger for $60. A good bat for my limited talent

 

[DrVanNostrand]

Recently treated myself to one of these. I bat like a number 11, so why not use the same stick as the world's most infamous number 11...

I also wear these for good measure:

 

[Marklar_33]

Usually something light and long...I only use it to run between wickets

 

[Santana]

Gray Nicolls Ultimate SH 2lb 11oz

 

[shinboner spiggs]

Gary nics E41 750i longblade.

The best stick I've ever had, absolute glorious. 2'9 as well

 

[Zach Package]

GM cannon Original LE. worth 500, bought for 200 on sale, not overly thick but so light and pings off really well.

also have a 30 or 40 year old SS that feels like it weighs about 4'6. Things a monster, can only use it in lower grades, can't get the thing down to quicker bowling.

it's not actually a 4 and a half pound bat, but it picks up really badly compared to my GM, just feels really big and clunky in the hands. it is a colossal bat though, always get comments from opposition on the rare occasions I bust it out

 

[Marklar_33]

I've got a GN Titan that's about 3'6, and the opposition love it...even more cause I'm not a big fella!

 

[Natho]

Gray niccols triple x, 2.8

 

[western royboy]

Used Gunn&Moore's exclusively for 15 years and was exceptionally happy, went from Maestro's thru Autograph Originals and finished with Purist and Purist II, always dabbled with others (Laver & Wood), SG's and the like. Three of four years ago I went up to Daylesford and had Julian Millichamp make me a Screaming Cat Professional. Unbelievable bat, first hit with it, pushed forward for a stock standard forward defensive and got three. Gave it to a mate to have a hit with last year, who had a reputation as a bit of a batting bunny, he smashed 40 in quick time. He came off and said "Gee having a good bat makes a difference". Highly recommended.

 

[Parquet Court]

Have the Bradbury players bat, 2.6

Long handle and short blade, very wandy. Quite a soft feel to the wood but it cannons, made here in Perth.

 

[chunkylover]

A good handmade bat is the way to go. Millichamp and Hall bats were amazing when hand made, then they were bought out by Puma and are pretty average. Screaming Cat and Bradbury would be my choice. A fair bit cheaper than the big names too
