If you can make it to Worcestershire, theres a couple of bat makers this way - Hawk and Solitaire being the main ones. Solitaire being far much approachable.

Jp cricket are a brand, albeit with questionable stickers and a site that sells bats in bizarre weights, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9 and then jumps to 3 lb.


I'm presuming you want someone to make your brands bats as opposed to just shaping the one?

If I'm correct why do they need to be so close? Can't you have hunts or similar shape them and be shipped?

Not gunna be shaped in the UK for 'Grade 1' at that price - bit worrying when a new brand doesn't seem to even understand how many ounces there are in a lb...

I think 2.7 lb on the website is not 2lb 7oz that we are used to,  but its 2lb 11.2oz (0.7*16).
Some retailers do that kind of a trick.
