Good question, what did happen to Instinct, they were probably one of the first small companies to appear on here when I joined I would have thought.

It's a shame, as I know you rate your Instinct really highly Tim! Did Dan make the bats himself, or did he source them from a batmaker?
Title: Re: Pics of your bats from companies no longer around....
Post by: tim2000s on January 07, 2013, 03:04:56 PM
Dan didn't make them. He also didn't reveal who his batmaker was, but I'd say that they are very good!

Is that about £1.50 worth of edge then?

Got to say I thought the prices were high, but some lovely looking kit and nice looking website they had.

Here is a few from my very limited edition Vindico Pegasus....just before closing down i snagged one of theirs that they had made in england.....dont know who the bat maker was, maybe you could fill me in as to who you guys think it was..the rest of their bats were made in india and i know they experimented with a a few that were made in pak as well...i think there was about 5 of the made in england ones...

ive tried adding pics but i keep getting errors.....why isnt CBF on tapatalk app yet??

I think it's a word Buzz coined for incidents which are like the Brimble and Shaqharris ones. :-[

Hey Jason, you just upload the pictures onto a photobucket account, then get the image codes and paste them on here. :)

You can't upload pics directly to CBF - fills up the Database too quickly, have to be linked from Photobucket.

Not on Tapatalk yet simply because the Tapatalk Mod requires a massive update to the Forum software.

Post by: Buzz on January 07, 2013, 08:07:51 PM
nice bat but it is only from last year, so barely counts really.

this thread needs a baronet, a classic bat, a jack hobbs bat or something like that...

Thats fine... cracking bats from that era... An original magnum would be for me the cherry on top of the icing!

Post by: Ciaran on January 07, 2013, 08:27:39 PM
Its a shame about instinct they were great bats from the ones I saw.
Is it still against the forum rules to expose the batmaker for an extinct company? I do know who it is but not sure if I can put it public.
Also their softs always took an interest for me, I never tried them but everyone that did seemed to have a positive word about them. Given the amount put into the creation, anyone given the idea of buying the company from him any time?
Title: Re: Pics of your bats from companies no longer around....
Post by: M77 on January 07, 2013, 08:35:45 PM
The company is still going strong but a bat that no longer exists and was one of the first bats i saw was art... and thats the BlackCat Voodoo in all its various colour schemes... beautiful!

Bat4Africa and Black Cat have very little to do with each other reality.  Marcus is responsible for generously designing the Bat4Africa decals and website, but is not involved with Black Cat.

I will be putting something in the Black Cat section in the next few days about what we're up to for 2013.  Some exciting stuff for sure...
