Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant..... just awesome....
Here you go:
It feels pretty amazing, got a tad higher sweet spot, the ping is great.

Its light 2.7-2.8.
Thank you.
Nice one Sir X-Ception!! The pick up on the Thruxton is very nice as its sweetspot is a tad high.
Enjoy!!
lol so where and when did I earn that "sir" tag Sir zeusky
You are too nice with your words Sir lol I am sure you possess a far better collection of bats yourself. And yes he ordered one for me and sent me pictures upon my request before he sent it out to me, which I think was nice of him.

That is a very very good looking bat
What is the handle like? rubber or cork inserts? round or oval handle? Flat faced or rounded edges?
How big are the edges?

Thruxton is a lovely bat...very good pick up (thanks to a higher sweet spot of course)...and very good balance. But the will doesnt look like players quality to me...especially when I see the profile pic.
The thing about Players is that it is not their top of the line willow, thats SPS so its not actually the Players edition bats like GM has.

That's a good deal actually
I know. But my understanding was that their willow quality is high throughout, just slightly better in SPS. But if its a big difference, that means SPS has a lot of variety in willow quality which gives me pause.
Perhaps the GM/GN way of grading willow is better. Atleast you have a better idea of what you'll get if you order online.

I own 2 Newberries myself. Going by the looks on these, I am pretty certain it'll ping like a beast. Cant go wrong with Newberries man. Congrats.

Aditya...instead of getting a bat shipped from USA, you can get one locally...or from UK if you are looking at an English brand. I m sure the shipping prices would be pretty high.
My advise would be try something locally..try Sachdev Sport near Paradise. They always have a very decent collection of bats.

Hi there, yes for 10,000 rupees you can get a Grade 1 bat from India for sure...even a SS or SG bat can be sourced from India for this price..They have some top bats at the moment...I would stay away from Custom made bats unless you are sure it is made by a decent bat maker and brand..

I am not sure you will get the English brands in Sachdev...
Also, I doubt if you will get a real G1 English brand cricket bat for 10k...I would say that you better off getting an SS/SG/BAS/RNS for that price.
Dont go for custom bats unless you know the supplier. Try OnlineStockist. He is an Indian seller and has genuine quality stuff.

You seem confused Bro
...have you seen all these bats? Checked the balance and pick up. The ones u have listed are of a wide price range..I haven't seen PR bats but Indiana Sports does stock genuine items...check out the bat, the grains on it, check the ping and decide. From our list..Epic 606 - Should be in budget. Lovely bat with elongated sweet spot.
Icon 909 - Top of the range..will probably be over your budget.
SS Torpedo - Thats my baby
...big bat but I doubt if u will get it around 2.7lb.SS LE - Top of the range...original costs around 20k I think
As I said, brand is immaterial...go check the bat, feel the pickup, test the ping and decide.
p.s. Indiana sports are known to house original RNS bats which are also awesome...check out RNS Unik if they have it in stock.
