A name that has been around for a long time, but one I have never come across when playing. Does anyone know the origins of the bats?

They are a company based in Devon, a lad at our club has some links with them and uses all of their kit. Bats seem good and goes ok.

No idea who makes their bats but the kit is of a good quality and their kit bag is by far the biggggggest in our changing room!!

Interesting according to the website the bats are made in the UK. I'm guessing a labelled brand perhaps? Surely there would be more talk of them if there was actually a batmaking operation in place.

Very decent kit, one of my teammates used to be sponsored by them. Good bats and nice softs, and also a massive bag!

i thought they were made down in a place called nomansland near tiverton in devon.

a guy at my old club had a few and they caused him problems as they kept splitting near the bottom.

Was apparently an issue with the way they were pressed but may have improved since then.
