That's like saying that Einstein was fairly bright! :D :D :D :D :D :D

A great start.
Using youtube can lever your marketing beyond belief.
When I buy another bat, I shall definitely give you a call.
-
Deary me.
Those are the only words I can think of, the profile looks lovely
-
Beautiful bats Paul. Nice work mate!
-
thanks for the kind words guys. i will do a video at some point of the making process to put on here.
Just a couple of thoughts for you. Our bats are traditionally made by hand by myself. No replicating lathes (CNC machines) are used like many of the bats now out on the market ours are just just hand made. Thinking along those lines so those of you who cant get to come and pick your willow out, would the use of skype or facetime be of any use or interest to people so they can still have a hand in the selection of their bat.
let me know what you think. I cannot even try and compete with the big boys in this industry but i am really trying to keep the traditional skills alive that we are losing in the same way as james laver is with his bats. We are also now in a better position to make for more labels as we have more storage facilities too so if anyone is interested please get in touch.
let me know what your thought are guys

Bats look lovely and nice to actually be able to see them. I had a question about why on all your bats the spine end well before the toe? is to do with balance? would there be any harm in extending the spine further?
-
Yes the sharpness of the spine is finished before the toe. There is still a lot of wood in that area though but I feel this helps with the pick up slightly. Also it is in the look of the bat too. I have tried to keep that traditional look within the design and make them different from the much more common Asian shape that seems to have been adopted over the last few years.
-
Look fantastic bats Paul. The first one sounds like a ripper. Can tell you have played a bit as well as you can actually knock the ball up.
Great stuff. I'm going to watch the others when I get back from the pub. Steak is waiting !!
-
Pity I couldn't hit it when I was playing. I did seem to find the middle of the a lot though when I was bowling
-
Haha nice one. Well there you go you know a good middle when you see one. Even if you do have to fetch it from the boundary !!
-
Thankfully the crowd threw it back for me.
-
It's been an interesting time progressing the bats to where we are now. Like I said before we can never compete with the big boys as far as turnover is concerned so we are purely focusing on quality. There are no gimmicks just great bats and kit that I would have been happy using when I was a pro.
-
nice videos and even better bats you have there :)
too many good bats to choose from on this forum
-
Lovely sticks :)

This makes me happy.
-
It sounds a bit weird but you look identical to Brett Lee lol...
I noticed that too xD
-
wish id had his pace and his money. i needed another 15 mile an hour easy to match him. always had it in me to hurt and scare a batter just didnt have the amunition. a slightly chubbier one though i would say these days. Thanks for the continued interest guys please get in touch if i can help in any way. even cricket wise i am a coach too. and like to pass any helpfull tips on from my experiences in the game at all levels.
-
Aldo, do you have any Silver or Gold Sovereigns off the shelf at the moment?
-
I have a silver that is about 2-10. Have to weigh it up to make sure but it's around that weight
-
Nice videos there. Great idea to show off the bats without customers having to leave their sofa.
Would imagine this will make the brand more accessible and more people will consider buying
-
Your bats are quite superb and I love the profile. Would be great if you could post some pics of the Silver and Gold Sovereigns. I think you will sell quite a few on the forum when the lads can see the actual bats. Perhaps the ones you have on offer and they will be snapped up rapido.
-
Sent you a PM Paul.
-
Go Bruce go Bruce haha
-
That vintage in the video is an absolute belter.
-
That's why they are limited. You don't find many that look like that and respond like it at the same time
