I would go solitaire first purely from the reviews they have received from other forum members - Out of interest, what is your price range??

Give redback cricket a message on the forum, he will be able to sort you out a quality bat for a bit less than that.

Post by: Musco on September 27, 2009, 06:49:08 PM: can i make the warsop to my specs or do i buy it as it is

Title: Re: Junior Custom made bats
Post by: Musco on September 27, 2009, 06:51:04 PM: nice how much?
Title: Re: Junior Custom made bats
Post by: Apple on September 27, 2009, 06:52:24 PM: For a size 6 i think its 100, not sure though someone on hear will know
Title: Re: Junior Custom made bats
Post by: aidy1098 on September 27, 2009, 06:54:25 PM: warsop dont charge extra for a custom, u tell them ur specs and if u dont like it after they have made it considering it is still brand new they will make u another one and so on...

Depends which model u want for price!

Venom=£130 * Platinum=£110 not bad at all and warsops are considered by many people as best bats around!
Title: Re: Junior Custom made bats
Post by: Apple on September 27, 2009, 06:55:59 PM: I think im switching to warsop for the next year or so
Title: Re: Junior Custom made bats
Post by: Musco on September 27, 2009, 06:56:49 PM: Venom sounds nice maybe i will order one
Title: Re: Junior Custom made bats
Post by: Musco on September 27, 2009, 06:57:32 PM: I need a good strong bat and warsop sounds good
Title: Re: Junior Custom made bats
Post by: aidy1098 on September 27, 2009, 06:59:52 PM: yeh warsops last long, only problem i find is that the pickups of warsops are very heavy and not that well balanced from the many i have felt and had (felt at least 20-30 whilst there) and then u will get the odd one that feels perfect, however when i was down there and fozzie's bat was getting cleaned up his bat was ammense it was 2 10 and felt like 2 8 and had perfect balance and i hit a few balls up and down and it was second to none! so luck of the draw as with many bat's!

Post by: Apple on September 27, 2009, 07:02:36 PM: the grains are always very clean though and u can tell that it is high quality
Title: Re: Junior Custom made bats
Post by: Musco on September 27, 2009, 07:05:03 PM: i need a nice ping as well
Title: Re: Junior Custom made bats
Post by: Musco on September 27, 2009, 07:07:15 PM: can you ask for stickerless because i don't like the chrome stickers
Title: Re: Junior Custom made bats
Post by: Talisman on September 27, 2009, 07:11:01 PM: I hate to be a misery but do you really need a custom size 6, you simply are wasting money, just get a decent imported one, SS, RNS Larsons etc. pick one up for £40 that will have great looking grains and play very well. We use the decent clefts for Mens bats, they will buy grades such as SS and Handmade Mens from the merchants and make a top junior bat from it, weirdly the imported junior bats are better than UK made.

Post by: Apple on September 27, 2009, 07:12:40 PM: I would trust Talisman, he knows his stuff
Title: Re: Junior Custom made bats
Post by: Musco on September 27, 2009, 08:07:25 PM: I'm after a harrow anyway not a size 6
Title: Re: Junior Custom made bats
Post by: Talisman on September 27, 2009, 08:17:43 PM: I still would not go mad.
Title: Re: Junior Custom made bats
Post by: musama91 on September 28, 2009, 12:30:43 AM: Sorry - ShillShilly you're right - Its £40 starting but for a harrow it is £80. Still a great great price. You cant doubt the workmanship either - the guy made bats for Beefy, Hick, and Viv Richards!

Post by: Talisman on September 28, 2009, 05:48:48 AM: Yes, but in those days they used what they were given, and if DF were so great why did they drop off the face of the cricket world?
