I heart this profile.

Just like my Newbery Samurai circa 2000.

That's a huge bargain if so, I was under the impression the Vintage profiles were a bit more than that though? Aren't they made from an oversized cleft?

Nope nothing here is oversized, that's what he mrs keeps telling me anyway  :). No we don't use oversized clefts its just the way we shape hem that gives that look.

The real vintage is our limited edition cleft but we will make any of our grades in the same profile if that is what you want as a customer. After all they are all hand made for you

Another lovely looking bat, and at the price it is and an absolute steal!

I do love this profile, but is there any bow on your bats Paul, I find it hard to tell from the photos.

Yes there is a gentle bow in them. I am not a fan of huge bows in bats but we do have a nice shape to them but if needed more can be put in but that's a special order to do that

Thank's for the information Paul, you are definatley on my list of bats to buy, I do like a bit of a bow but nothing too extreme so just wanted find out if the vintage shape was bowed at all, loving the look of the bats that you have been producing recently they look very good indeed and that is backed up by the reviews on here.

We are now out of stock of the silver sovereign clefts I am both pleased and sad to say they have been incredibly popular. We will let you know when we get our next order in.

That's bad news.  :(

Are you talking days, weeks or months for the next order?
Title: Re: Silver sov vintage profile
Post by: Aldred Cricket Bats on April 05, 2013, 02:45:51 PM
Probably a few weeks. We as a small company have certain order criteria to fulfil and that is one reason we have put the supreme surge offer on as this will speed up the process a little. If you compare the quality of our supreme range with any top brand top of the range bats you would see how much of a bargain this is, but will allow us to fulfil the order that we require. It's a tough one as a small company as you are working on small tight budgets and don't have the ordering clout of he big names. But we will get there.

Thanks Paul

I can personally vouch for the quality of your Supreme bats and I hope to have another order with you next week.
