Title: Vantage Cricket
Post by: Played and Missed on January 31, 2012, 05:37:30 PM
Just wondering If anyone has had any experience with Vantage bats or softs?

I'm interested in buying some kit, Just need some reviews of their equipment.

Yeah I saw your post with that bat. You got it for a bargain as well didn't you?
Any other reviews you got about the bat, about the performance, have you still got it and anything wrong (like a weak toe)?

I've been offered a package deal by them - which contains the players gloves, pads and 1 custom made bat.
Just need some reviews on their stuff, to see if it will be a worthwhile investment.

Do it mate, met the guy who is running the show now and they will come good again for sure, looks very promising, they always produced top quality stuff and they wont disappoint.

Bat's great. Lovely balance and nice long middle. Only became my match bat for the second half of last season. Took a while to get going but now it flies.

No weak spots that I can see (hope this isn't famous last words!!)

Thanks for the reviews. Has anyone got any more pictures of the bats, gloves? seen a few of the pads look really nice! Usually I go with top brand equipment, but in the last few years gone towards smaller companies and custom made equipment. Still get good customer service as well.

Did have a solitaire before, but i over oiled it and the willow became weak and it split. It didn't seem like I over oiled it either, maybe it was 12 hours before I added the next coat on.
