Bat Recommendations

[Cover Drive]

Guys, I've had the same bat for nearly 20years it's had many repairs but now it's finally given up, trying to replace it has been a nightmare, I've purchase don't several but none have the same feel, I'm a front foot player and love driving, I'm looking for something between 2-8 and 2-10, with a light pick up and a low middle, can someone please please help me out with recommendations?? Thank you in advance!

It was or is a Malik Zulfi, purchased from Malik Sports in Slough, it has a hole in the middle which I wood fillered and super glued and covered in bat tape!

Don't ever buy off eBay.

There are tons of fake bats out there these days. They put a grain sheet on the top and back and a toeguard to hide the fact. The stickers are almost identical as well.

If you're in the UK you should be in decent shape to go along to a store to see how various cues pick up then buy one from a reputable sports store or an online outlet (agree about staying away from ebay tbh). I[d recommend you try a few out in-store before settling on one to buy, then see what sorts of deals you can get online. If you've found one you like at a retail outlet which is cheaper online, ask the outlet if they will match prices for you.
