Title: Affinity Cricket & Vitas Cricket
Post by: Vitas Cricket on January 24, 2014, 12:25:18 AM
We are delighted to announce that after a lengthy (in a good way) and genuinely enjoyable meeting today we will be stocking Affinity Cricket equipment from mid February.

I know some forum members may have already visited Paul @ IJC for one, or indeed gone direct to Affinity for the unique expereince of a Persona; something I strongly encourage you to do. So this post is aimed more at the many forum members who are local to us, or indeed you Northerners up the A1 who felt a trip to London might be a little far ;)

We are very excited to see what the future holds after one of the most exciting meetings we have had in our short existence. :)

Really top quality bloke is Marcus, and really top quality equipment. I'm predicting a rise in sales for Vitas :)

Good to see some positive Affinity comments, i'm not sure how many we will sell locally but it is good to see there is a wide following for a brand so new.

Soulman, i am not sure they will be here for the forum day, i will ask but Marcus did say mid Feb.

I've got a Toro which I love, the balance and pick up is really good for a decent sized bat. I fancied a full sized bat so sent Marcus a message on twitter on Sunday afternoon. He asked for my number and rang me back 20 mins later, had a good 45 min chat and I ordered a Spectre. He is a top bloke, very good service calling me on a Sunday afternoon!!

I got the elite soft bundle as well, can't wait to get the kit! Ordered a Spectre LH in 2.13, Marcus thinks he'll have it out to me in a couple of weeks. I'll post pics when it arrives

I'll bring them the next time we net Dave, you can have a go! You'll be able to have a good look at the softs too, you will be able to give them a review

Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on January 29, 2014, 08:20:23 PM
Marcus has taken on the Elite range we previously produced as we obviously no longer have a brand name in the market place. Im confident they are very good quality as the gloves were easily our best seller from the soft range.

They're really nice gloves, always wished I'd held onto the pair I sold to wilkie but I was downsizing - I also think that the affinity colour scheme is even nicer than the old one (no offence Tom). Marcus does seem like a really good bloke and if I could afford it I'd have an affinity bat, hope they sell well for you Jake.

Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on January 29, 2014, 08:42:42 PM
haha its ok mate i agree, the colour scheme ties in now properly with the Ayrtek Edition bat marrying it all together nicely....marcus's eye for detail can take credit for that!
Title: Re: Affinity Cricket & Vitas Cricket
Post by: JB on January 29, 2014, 08:46:39 PM
I think the colour scheme will go well with the Spectre too!

I'm looking forward to seeing the softs, they look cracking Tom!

Just to let everyone know we have some Affinity bats in stock now. We also have some exciting collaborations in the pipeline, so watch this space.

We are very proud to be supporting campaigns like Melanoma UK. It is good to know that not only do you get a great bat when you go with Affinity, but you also go a little way to making a difference to the lives of others. We look forward to next years Movember to get behind another great cause.

Phantom looks great, other two not so but it could be the light.

I like the affinity stickers.

Hi Jake what is the weight of the phantom? Do you also deduct VAT for overseas purchases?

The Phantom is 2'9, The Carbine is 2'11 and the Spectre is nearly 2'13. All 3 are beautifully balanced.

We are not yet VAT registered, so we can't remove VAT for overseas buyers.

The Phantom is 2'9, I will weigh the other 2 bats tomorrow. Both are balanced very nicely but do have a slightly heavier deadweight.

We are not yet VAT registered, so we can't remove VAT for overseas buyers.

Hope you get registered soon, you guys stock some lovely bats. It makes a big difference in pricing for those of us overseas.

I like the affinity stickers.

I got a Spectre yesterday, it wouldn't get entered in the best grains thread but the performance off the mallet is fantastic!

The pick up/balance for a low middled bat is also very good! The finishing is easily on par with the Salix & HitsHard bats I have

The bats are very very lovely, not sure they need to be quoted over and over again though. Tis killin the bandwidth on my phone. Lol

I took a look at these when i was at vitas on Saturday. The stickers and finish on the bats are superb. Aside from the phantom, all are slightly heavy for me, but the carbine shape is outstanding-nice rounded full back.

they all look great. Had to get out of there quickly!

We now have a lovely lovely Carbine at 2'8 to complement our existing stock. This thing is a serious piece of kit, i had to force myself to put it down to prevent too many ball marks from tapping it up.

Photogrid is also available on Android, it's what I use as well.

As for the Affinity's, they look very nice! Phantom is my favourite out of those you have shown, though that 2'8 is right up my alley. - looks at bank account *sighs and walks away*
