very nice, was this a refurb?

Thanks mate...It came back after annual service recently. Gary made this for me last year and as part of the service they have a free annual service if you buy a test grade.  :D

I always like the look of Choice Bats, n they are so nice in the store! Net facilities are pretty good, but I do feel some of the stuff in the shop is quite expensive.

Prices on the shelves are in terms with the other retailers etc... If you are a regular customer Gary will look after you mate  :D

Yeh about a year n a bit ago, probably longer. It was really good. I got into cricket late so was taken from basics, n although Ill never be a top batsmen it really helped me massively! Really nice guy helped me out a lot as well, Just wish I could afford to keep getting lessons from him! Would recommend it to anyone, I had Dean for my lessons, he was brilliant, patient with my lack of natural ability as well! Why do you ask?

I should add, everyone at Choice have always been really nice when I have been in and they copied my friends bat for me perfectly when I needed it.

Agreed on this one mate. A good place to get coaching.  So Vulcan did  you train him? :)
