They don't sell bats direct do they? I thought they only sold through retailers?

they do offer a mail order service. But you cant purchase of their website, only over the phone, but you do get some discount of the rrp. i think its under 10% this is how I got my praesantia.

Lovely looking sticks them.  Do look a little like the baddie of Terminator 2 fame got a bit excited when he saw them in the early pictures mind.  Not that it's a bad look, besides sure many folk on here would be just as excited by them.  Very handsome bats, understated elegant design.

Don't know, but look upside on those Salix bats to me - surely the ribbed bit is better for the bottom hand?

Is there any point to your comment? I made a mistake using a smartphone, the other poster chose to post in txt spk. I am really getting bored of being baited by childish posters and it being allowed to happen because of my username.

Jon it wasn't baiting merely friendly banter. In general I have no problem with you and to be honest I thought you would read my comment in the way it was intended :)

I have to say I bought 2 salix's from the workshop 2-3 years back one broke but was amazing, the other im giving away as I have too many bats but was very well balanced, top bats but my god the price has risen, i'll stick to up and coming brands from now on Redback and Saf for me, I want a black prince someday too
Love the new stickers on the salix though
