Gray Nicolls Matrix Players.

Prior to that was the Gray Nicolls Ultimate (Michael Slater used to use it). Had the purple oval sticker on the back.
Was top of the range at the time and was an outstanding stick.

I loved the Slazenger V800 Pro used by Mark Waugh late in his career.

The V100 Pro was also good, used by Damien Martyn mid-career when he was good. :lol:

Was a fine piece of wood.

Still favour the Slazenger blades. Use a V500 Select I bought on clearance for $200.

Such a sweet blade.

Now Indian bow in it, just a lump of finely crafted, well-weighted wood.

Think it weighs 2,7 - 2,8 or so. Perfect.

Puma Millichamp is the best bat i have ever used can't remember the model name but that was my favourite.

This wasn't the best I've used by any stretch but it was interesting.

It was a Gunn and Moore "Non-Jar" long handle.

Not sure when it was made but it had no stickers on it, the words were imprinted on it with a hot iron.

Made in England a long time ago I sense.

I think I still have it at the old's house.

A bat from yesteryear.

Terrible power on it but if it hit the middle when driving it really went.

Only a light thing compared to modern willow.

Research indicates it is from the 1940 to 1950 era

i am using the impala redback 300 it is 2pound12oz and it is the most even weighted bat i have ever used. i had a v800 as a junior because that is what mark waugh used that is a close 2nd to the impala. when you get it out of the screws it stays hit.
