Cricket Bats?

Question

I'm looking to buy a new bat as i play for a club and my bat is old and rubbish. Any Suggestions?

Answer 1

well, first determine your size and whether you would prefer a light bat or a heavy bat. I would recommend a heavy bat if you have very strong wrists and can tolerate any kind of wrist injury, these can contribute in big hitting, but are a menace to maintain and cost a fortune. If you would prefer a light bat, this means that you like to play shots rather than strokes, then go for a light bat

if you want a heavy bat, then go for Reebok or Gray Nicolls, but Puma and Kookaburra are really good light bats

Answer 2

If you want a new bat you should go to a cricket store and get the staff to help you out as every batsmen is different (ie. hayden is a powerful n strong batsmen so he used a thick heavy bat) PS don't go to a general sports store, go to a cricket store as they know that they are talking about. Otherwise I would recommend a grey nicolls simply becasue they seem to last forever

Answer 3

well it depends on the type of batsmen you are and what weight bat you want

so go to a shop with lots of different tyoes of bats and try them all to find the right one for you

Answer 4

Depends on how much you want to spend, but if you have £150+ I would highly recommend either Millichamp Hall , Salix or Newbery, all hand made and guaranteed, check out their web sites. The mass production bats are all pretty good , but remember you get what you pay for and there are a lot of differing wood standards, so a cheap Gray Nicholls is not necessarily a good bat.

Answer 5

Go for Gunn & Moore or Gray Nicholls
