Re: Bowling Machines
I would think that it's fair to say that they don't damage your bat unduly but much like a cricket ball, some damage will of course occur.
A clear anti-scuff will help protect the face as well as making the 'green' marks a whole damn site easier and quicker to remove.
I would normally suggest having a 'practice' bat for such occasions, normally an old bat will do the trick and will also save your match bat from any unnecessary wear.
As a side note, Laver and Wood do some cracking 'net' bats for around the £80 mark - custom made to your own spec as well. If you have the spare cash then I whole heartily recommend.

Re: Bowling Machines
I don't see the point of buying a fusion when I could choose from a 100 other companies. I think the other was just saying that from his experience it was a reasonable deal.
I mean, it's a bat to use in the nets, personally I'd get something for £30 off ebay just to use, if it breaks, it breaks.
As for the eye in bats, the only thing special about them is the weight (if im thinking of the correct product). Sure it helps, but then again using a normal bat with the edge cut down will do the same thing. It's all about getting in line with the ball not how you're able to smash it to the boundary for 6 with 4 inches.

I have never heard such tosh in all my life. Really, do any of you know what your on about? I doubt it.

Yeah right, you're just a bunch of kids. Just because you play a bit of cricket doesn't mean you know all.

Re: Bowling Machines
If you look at places like Fisher Bats etc. Batting against a bowling machine actually voids the warranty, and even they have said it causes more damage to the bat than a normal ball.
Regarding the International players using them, you have to remember, even though they love their bats, they are dispensible to them as they have many more waiting in their bag for use.
I'd suggest to use an old bat against a bowling machine, just in case.
