Hope you like the bats, partly inspired by all the makers on here! A hobby thats turned into a small brand. Very early in our life but needed a website for people to see what we offer.

First year of selling outside my club/area, will be expanding into a full range of equipment in 2015. No intentions of conquering the world or reinventing the wheel just provide quality cricket gear and quality service to clubs in North Wales.

Cheers for looking

Dan

Nice work mate! The website looks very professional too. Well done and all the best!

I do have one question. Can you let us know (and perhaps include into your FAQ) how your grading works?

Post by: Washington on January 13, 2014, 04:57:26 PM: Grading is always a contentious issue. There are 2 factors that ultimately influence grading looks and performance. In order to appeal to the wider audience both factors need to addressed, as such we grade in the following way:

Players - 8+ grains no blemishes little heartwood
Performance - minimum 7 grains little or no blemishes little heartwood
Pro - minimum 6 grains a few blemishes possibility of a little more heartwood

To the more discerning customer who is mainly interested in performance, the grading system is obsolete really. Saying that would never let an ugly bat leave the workshop!
