For this interested, the good guys at Barringtons are now stocking Spartan!
Known about this for a couple of months but didn't realise he was going to pull it off.
So that makes just Romida and Barringtons I think? Unless I have missed something glaringly obvious
-
All rounder up in Leeds had Spartan gear in when I went in a couple of weeks ago
-
Thought I was missing one! What did you make of the sticks mate?
-
Cricket Hockey also have Spartan

Told you I was missing some people....they were the first 2 off the top of my head though

I was at Allrounder when they were unpacking their first load. There was the Clarke and Prior ones. Picked up a few, nice but nothing special. There was one 20 grainer but the rest around 6-10. Pick up and balance seemed alright.
I thought it was odd that the two different bats had (to my eye) the same profile and shape.

My first impressions of Spartan bats - RUBBISH.
Very poor quality and you can get better bats at 1/10th the price from alleys in Meerut and Sialkot.
The will be luck if they survive half the time BoomBoom and Woodworm did.
-
Hell of a lot more money behind Spartan though mate.
-
BTW, UziSports also have Spartan (i think)
-
I wouldn't say rubbish, saw a couple at the weekend which went really well. They have got some good tactical advertising so will bd round a while.

Money can't guarantee success.
Quality makes and sustains brands in the long-run.
The bats I have seen were just about average in quality, finish and pick-up (I am being very generous)

Where did you see them?

The team I was playing against had a couple.

I've only seen one and it looked a belter, also the balls it hit took a while to fetch.

Indian rubbish, worse than BAS and SS. Just because Gayle and Clarke are paid to use their STICKERS people think they are great. Johnson Charles and Darren Sammy don't quite have the same affect for BAS though

Anyone know what the softs are like? Apart form expensive?

two guys from my club use a spartan. They fly off the middle but they are very softly pressed. Guy at my club has scored over 700 runs in a two month period since using his spartan. But since then he has cracked the two twice and had the handle snap. Romida have repaired it every time.
