decent bats - some are uk made and some are (very good) Pak imports. In general they make good stuff - if the search funtion works for you there are a few threads on here from about a year ago on this, so worth researching - totally understand if you can't find it though!!

looking at their website, looks pretty good. i have seen a few of the models being used in the leagues around me. see to be popular. The website does state that all models of bat come with a TSI - toe strengthing insert and then a toeguard. i wonder if you can see the insert from the sides or is this their way of hiding it. surely toe inserts are graded b so cant be professionally used?

just looked again and this is an optional extra when you build your bat specs.

Used to work for them. Bats are very good and the shop sells just about everything cricket related. If your in the area id go down and see Gary the batmaker and he will talk you through what your after in your bat.

Majority of the bats are made there but he does sell imports which he has in the shop as blanks and you can pick through them. They are open about whats made there and imported.

Softs also very good, now made by RS i believe. You can see the TSI from side on just about, its a 5mm strip of oak.

I don't use it anymore as I now use LB bats but I scored about 800 runs or so with it id guess and it was still going strong, just started to hurt my back due to my stance hence the switch to LB.
