Advantages: Lovely Bat Disadvantages: Seems A Lot Of Money To Some
...I opoted for the Slazenger V600 Select (same model as Mark Butcher, England and surrey uses, but obviously a better bat), it was £94 from www.cricket-hockey.com, (RRP £120) with free P&P within 5 working days.
The bat is made from grade three English willow, and with cricket-hockey, it came pre-knocked in (saves sitting there with a mallet for nine hours), and also with a toe gaurd, so you don't much up the bottom of the bat while using it. Although ... ...to get the best perormance, and save it getting cracked in it's early stages of life.

Advantages: Power, Force, Comfort Disadvantages: Heavy Bat
The Slazenger V1200 is a very nice bat to play with. It has immense power for strong players. Very nice Bat and is worth every penny you have to pay for it. The slazenger range has a lot to offer to any cricketer even if you have just started playing or you have been playing for 25 years. The V100 V200 V300 V400 V500 V600 V800 and the V1200 are all bats that you try.
I have had my V1200 for 2 years now and not 1crack has appeared and i have been ...
