What is the best make of cricket bat?

What do you think is the best make cricket bat?

I think its kookaburra,because the weight and pick up are superb.

i think its kookaburra cause i've heard that its a great bat from many people. they're expensive too, so i'm assuming they must be good quality.

I am a slazenger fan, the V600 of old was, and still is a fantastic bat. Amazing pick up, great power, fantastic. Also a fan of the woodworm bats

what is your proof for supporting this GM Maxi?

Kookaburra by far, is the best brand for bats. The concept of Graphite Reinforcement has revolutionised bat performance. I myself own a Kookaburra Bat called The Beast that has this Graphite Reinforcement. It makes hitting boundaries easier than it was before.

Well what bat do you own mate?

anybody ever heard of MB Malik, i've heard those bats are very good.

CA is a very popular bat brand in pakistan but i don't think it can compare with the best of brands.

Rebourne, go out and look at as many bats as you can. If you are a strong lad, get a heavy bat. Pick up as many bats as you possibly can, see how they feel, imagine how they play. Get a bat that best suits you, your frame, your style of play, and your preferences.

Some bats have thick handles, other bats have skinny long handles. Have a look, and then decide for yourself!

what about gm? is it better than kookaburra?

Hero Honda also makes good bats. Well-crafted and are used by many of India's most highly recognised players.

Yeah, also, the Graphite actually dont do anyhting at all. Its been prooved with testing

Often you get excellent value and quality with lesser known brand names, such as Britannia, Hunts, MB and CA. They can compete with the top brands whilst costing a fraction of the price of the popular brands. Personally I like english bats, such as Gunn and Moore and Gray-Nicolls. I currently own a Gray-Nicolls Matrix which i have found to be only marginally better than my friends britannia which he bought for less than half the price of mine. In keeping with the topic I think Gray-Nicolls are the best bat manufacturer, but just like bats are subjective, the make is just as subjective. Also to be noted is that some bats by certain manufacturers are junk while a different bat from the same maker may be far better. It depends on what the bat maker is willing to put their name to.

Well u will find a lot of good brands, but whatever u buy, make sure that it is a balanced one and suits to the way you like to play. If you are a delicate batsman with perfect timing you need not heaviest of the bats, but if you are a pintch hitter and good athelete, a heavy weight would do the purpose. It always depends. Balance is the key thing.

And Saad, MB Malik bat is manufactured in Pakistan. Its a very good quality bat and is also exported, i guess.
