Kookaburra Absolute Belta
Review of Kookaburra Ultimate Belta Cricket Bat 2006 by
jt247
Advantages: Durable, Light, comes pre-knocked in
Disadvantages: Weak Toe
The Kookaburra Ultimate Belta, the name says it all. I've previously owned kookaburra bats, but this is the meatiest and lightest one I have used. It looks nice yes, but the most important thing about this bat is that it feels comfortable to use and performs well. It is the most reliable bat I have taken to the crease with me in my 12 year career, it has lasted me almost 18months for use both indoor and outdoor against red/white cricket balls in ...

Cricket anyone?
Review of Slazenger Super by
beanie8844
Advantages: great bat, you can hit the ball miles
Disadvantages: could be seen as quite heavy
...the back has a large slazenger panther which runs the length of the bat - this is black and has slazenger written all over it in shinny writing. It was handmade in England of natural willow and features a short handle design; but as I mentioned earlier you can buy bats in virtually any size. Of the 'V Series' you can get bats in V100, V200, V300, V400, V500, V600, V800 and V1200. Typically, the larger the number the heavier and more powerful the ... ...As cricket makes go Slazenger a relatively new - they haven't been around for as long as Readers or Gray-Nicholls for example. However, this hasn't stopped them from producing lots of top class equipment. As far as i'm aware they do every type of cricket equipment, but specialize in bats. I certainly have no complaints with the bat the I purchased and would definately buy a Slazenger again. ...

Puma Ballistic 4000
Review of Puma Ballistic 4000 by
martin0201
Advantages: High quality cricket bat
Disadvantages: Little pricey
Puma Ballistic 4000
The Product
This is a cricket bat, made by the Australian based manufacturer Puma. Puma make all sorts of sports equipment, but have only recently moved into the manufacture of cricket bats. They have, however, exploded onto the scene and are now amongst the most popular manufacturers.
This particular bat is a Puma Ballistic 4000. All the Puma bats come in a series of grades, 5000, 4000 and 3000. Therefore, the ... ...of all the Puma bats is so high, this is like a high grade bat from any other producer.
The Ballistic is characteristic for its thick edges and enhanced sweet spot, making it a bat for players of power rather than precision. The 4000 model is made from Grade 1 English willow, the highest you can get. The only thing that differs from the 4000 to the 5000 is that the 5000 is lighter pressed, and therefore has greater power.
I plumped for the 2lb ...

Review of kookabura little beast cricket bat by
Mo_soofi
Advantages: Good price!
Disadvantages: Low middle
Well this cricket bat is an australian cricket bat. It a small one and is mainly for kids who tryin to learn the game. The bat will not need much maintenance as it is not made out of the best willow, because it is for kids. The bat is an dieal way for young kids to start up with cricket. This bat is definately a quality make and is used by many great player like sri lankan keeper Kumar Sangakarra. The bat will not need oiling or will not take too ... ...is that it has a low middle. For people who don't know what that means, it is the part of the bat where the ball shud be aimed to be hit with as it is where the most wood is present. The reason why this isn't good is because pitches in uk are more bouncy and u will usually want a bat with a higher middle to make best contact. In Australia the ball tends to stay low and thats why a bat with a low middle is needed. these conditions have to be taken ...

CA gold
Review of CA Gold by
Mo_soofi
Advantages: Wonderfull willow used to make.
Disadvantages: May be a bit heavy overall.
This is a beautifull bat,it is made out of grade 1 english willow, which is one fo the best.From the top of the handle to the bottom it is equally weighted, you may ask why this is important? This is important because if your a top order batsmen it is important that you are well balanced when playing a shot. The bat also makes it easy to transfer balance and allows more control for the batsmen. The only downside of this bat is that it is quite heavy, ... ...for if you play at a high level.
This bat is used by world class players such as: Inzamam Ul Haq former captain of the pakistan. If you are an attacking top order batsmen then this is the bat for you, but if your a cautious top order batsmen this may not be the choice for you. ...
