Looks nice though. Aren't spyder bats made in asia?

Post by: deanoknight on May 05, 2012, 11:03:26 AM: as this one does, anyone know if they do any softs?
Title: Re: bargain?
Post by: Talisman on May 05, 2012, 11:08:10 AM: Spyder do them, do they not have a website?
Title: Re: bargain?
Post by: arc1983 on May 06, 2012, 08:43:14 PM: Spyder do softs. The shop is in Stoke (about 1 mile away from Shark Cricket), and most teams in my league pyramid (North Staffs / South Cheshire) have at least 2-3 players who use Spyder bats including my team. All bats I've seen are a good quality and tend to have an asian profile. No idea where they are made though.

To my knowledge, Spyder is not on the internet as the website has been 'coming soon' for about 3 years!
