Picks up well
Rebound, very good!

Is there much concaving on the fusion?

I've got the £30 Boom bat which is quality, the fusion one must be exceptional!

Last time I met the guys at Fusion, they were getting their bats made in Pakistan.....

I hope they are not charging £200 or more for these bats now (especially as they are not made in the UK)

Well according to Bill its Indian, I would like to think that Bill knows where his bats are from Yash.

The fusion looks good fella.................they were the nuts when they first came out.  Do you think it will live up to the bats of times gone past??

Is it me or have Fusion lost most of there values since the extra investment came onboard? Always prided themselves on producing best handmade products at reasonable prices. Nowadays with Indian made bats and high prices seem more bothered about producing quantity more than quality and making a pretty penny! A shame really the old bats where pretty good and the whole aspect of buying from them was more like buying from friends discussing things with Bill and having a net if you could get down old fashioned customers service they seem to have lost that aspect.

Fusion have had a bit of trouble as some will know, what with all the skyer stuff so naturally they have been fairly busy. According to Bill they are now looking to concentrate on the training aids side of things rather than bats.

I am sure he knows where his bats are coming from. I just mentioned that the last time they got their bats made in Pakistan.

Post by: Howzat on March 13, 2011, 04:19:28 PM
Cant see anything cosmetically wrong with it so would presume grade one...

Anyone know know what grade the other bat is? ;)
Title: Re: Fusion Bat
Post by: procricket on March 13, 2011, 04:29:34 PM
Lets be honest we have seen better and worst grade 1 in the past the both of them

Hard to tell of looking at them there could be something hidden

Just a quick correction, not meaning to put anyones backs up or anything, but, I spoke to James on feb 21st 2012 and he had just won a court case against ss for copyright, so i am not sure whether the contract with them expired or ever existed?
