Title: Visit to Slazenger Warehouse - Photos Added
Post by: Uzi Sports on January 29, 2013, 08:20:33 PM
Hi,

visited Slazenger warehouse today to handpicked our 2013 Slazenger bats. went through basically all their stock. we believe that we have the best slazenger bats available at our shop. I will post photos of some bats as soon as i get some time.
I didn't pick any ultimate grade as i found Elite bats which we picked were better than Ultimate grade.

Regards

Asad

The V6's look arguably better... I guess it's to do with the source of them though giving them the different prices.

Luckily I managed to pick the best by being the first to go through their stock

All the prices are on our web site, for any purchase you will be rewarded points which you can use towards ur next purchase.
These are all hand picked so not sure if we go by the Slazenger grading.

I was more wondering which were the best, 2nd best etc according to Slazenger, as they don't do easy 5* 4* etc - and in the past Slazenger's best bats have been the cheaper ones!

The V12 5*s look nice. Paul mentioned them when I was in his shop, good idea by Slazenger. Pretty decent bat for £219! Will they perform as well as V12s?

Yes, quite a lot!

Ahan.

So apparently they are also made in England if I'm not mistaken. If that's the case then I think its wholly absurd to buy V12 over V12 5 Star considering both are Grade 1 and made at same place? Both have laser engraving, exact same decals and what not!

Or its only regular V12 whose production is restrained to 200 bats?

I'm pretty sure the 5*s are limited to 200 and engraved too. I also don't see why you would buy a V12 with this option...the 5* seems like a really good deal

The 5 Stars are actually grade 2, Uzair, although quite a few of them - including the ones we picked - looked just as nice as the V12 LEs that we have currently, so I still (kind of) agree with you!

To be honest, by going with the ones you and Asad get they certainly don't look Grade2! In fact, better than actual V12 LE I have seen!

So saying ones you two get are Grade2 would be absurd :)

Full marks to Slazenger this year their stickers and bats look better than they have for many years in my opinion.
Title: Re: Visit to Slazenger Warehouse - Photos Added
Post by: ItsJustCricket on February 04, 2013, 01:33:31 PM
I had a guy comment on our YouTube channel yesterday that our new Slazenger bats don't have the same wraparound stickers that Jason's had at CSO.  Having checked the photos here, I can see that the same is true for Asad's selection.  Does anyone on here know what happened to these wraparound stickers? Were they just a limited run? Might have to approach Slazenger directly about this.  I'm not massively concerned, just surprised some have them and others don't.  Would be good if someone could shed any light on this! Cheers.
