Anyone heard of these? Check out the knocking in machine under the manufacturing tab under cricket bats.

Never heard of them, but from the pictures looks like they a pretty good setup. Wonder if the knocking in machine has a lignum vitae mallet end?

Also, couldn't help but notice how thin the handle looks in the picture captioned "binding"  :D

Never heard of them. The kit packages look very VERY expensive

I had a look at the order part of the website and in the handle shape section is has a 'Square' handle option. I've never seen or heard of that before.

Also had a chuckle at the size of the bone they are using to bone the bat.

Why no prices on things ? Other than the packages

His prices range from £80 to £280. I believe he sent over a number of bats to the UK in the last couple of weeks. I was going to purchase one, he said he would let me know when they arrive but that was two weeks ago.
