In my opinion it's good gear, I have the stick pads and gloves and rate them highly. Never used a bat mind, but a few people have at my club and say they go well. I'm going into my second season with the pads and gloves and there's not a lot of wear and very comfortable!!!

The stick are nice gloves, good protection and comfort without being too bulky. Haven't used anything else

I think the bats are Asian made so should be soft and go pretty well from the start. I had a Red Boa and It was very light and had quite large edges, it went well.

I use willostix (I also look after their website but am not involved in the company)

The new spitfire bats are lovely (and are uk made), far too nice for a slogger like me

Always liked the softs and they've always done pretty well in the gear reviews too

Larsons do make some damn good bats and I'm sure that this might have changed and that they do stock some English made bats now. If you are after a decent larsons head up to AJ sports, loads and loads of decent sticks to choose through.

Yer good gear I've used all there gear for the last 2 seasons, and have had a lot of gear off the andy's. if you go down to the barn then you will get some great customer service. I can't really speak more highly of their gear, a great example of a smaller company offering great quality products.
And i got the prototype anaconda bag (2013) personalised,with my name on it for Christmas just gone off my dad from them.

The Spitfires certainly aren't Larsons, but the whole range is top quality for me...

softs are very good espically the softs, always had a big problem with bats breaking espically through the toe, loads of people at my club have had them as the used to sponsor the club and they went very well but never used to last very long at all.

I do however believe they have worked on this and the spitfire should not suffer that problem but dont know where the others are being made,

Love my stick gloves, great quality and classy looking. They up there with my salix pod blacks just without pittard palms. I have a stick bat also which I'm liking more and more. To begin with it was very soft and didn't seem to go brilliantly but its steadily got better over time. Managed to come top of my clubs averages using it last season and currently going well in nets. Still doesn't seem to have the effortless power that my salix pod bat had and as a result slightly less confident in trying to hit over the top with it.

From changes on their FB page, I suspect they might have been bought! Is a CBF member involved?
