Title: Redwood cricket
Post by: Millyjack on July 30, 2013, 09:01:58 PM
Hi guys,
Reading an earlier thread Redwood cricket popped up, does anybody have any experience of these bats? I was all set on an mh original but am now considering their 'Maker' bat. I like the look and reasonable price fully knocked in?
Any info or experiences please share!!
Cheers

I love Redwood, sponsored by them, I use the artisan, and its awesome, also have it on good authority as to who they are made by, and this maker makes for at least 2 england players.

Leachy, thanks for reply. Have you ever used the maker model?
Title: Re: Redwood cricket
Post by: LEACHY48 on July 30, 2013, 09:51:03 PM
no this batmaker is relatively new, and never used the maker mate, being a shortass I use a higher middle therefore the artisan suits me. I cant say how much I get off its confidential mate.

yes mate, when I can, doing a whole bunch of overtime at work, and therefore I dont think it will be this week, maybe next week, I dont use their softs, as their is no minimum order on my sponsorship, use their bats, and I am saving up for pads and gloves currently.

Be interested to know if anyone else has used them. I can't get up there so would be buying blind but I guess that's what most do. I am also keen on an Aldred and wouldn't be able to feel that either( although not having much joy with comms on that one!)
Or I could just walk to mandh!!
Something just strikes me about redwood

the issue with M&H is you pay top dollar. Redwood are much cheaper and I think perform just as well (i have an original high)

Apparently the guy behind Redwood was involved with Romida

A guy at my club has a Redwood bat, paid a reasonable amount of money for it and unfortunately for him its not the best. It doesnt even look like its in the same class as M&H.

Sorry to throw another spanner in the works :(

Cant be the stickers that strike you. I would take that bit of exercise and walk to m&h, where you can pick a bat up and have a swing.

They look ok but very expensive for the top grade
Title: Re: Redwood cricket
Post by: LEACHY48 on August 01, 2013, 08:39:35 PM
300 for a top grade? not that expensive? considering the people that make them charge 350

Post by: LEACHY48 on August 01, 2013, 09:02:45 PM
not saying that, Im saying that 250-300 is what I expect to pay for a brand new top grade bat. just like you bought a top grade m&H for full price I presume?
