Got a voucher and now getting this deal...

What do you guys think...worth taking a risk from sports direct??

Don't they normally subtract VAT? (Assuming you're from abroad due to the high postage cost) Worth a punt I guess, they are made in England by a very good batmaker from what I hear!

always wary of SD but this could be a value punt.

The slazenger I got is a superb bat they are great value for money but if I was you I would speak to asad at Uzi sports as he has some pretty special v6 bats in stock and you are guaranteed to get a good one as asad hand picked all his uk made slazenger bats  :)

I saw a really nice one of these in SD Lillywhite's last week. It was £250 at the time.

I am sure the quality will be good now they are made by a very good pod shaver so should be top bat

SD does not remove VAT and their shipping prices are significantly higher than PDC, usually I check both site and if the price is close enough and I am not really in a hurry then I go to PDC as they remove VAT, shipping is cheap (except for kit bags). With SD I have also always been charged more duty as well as they use DHL in Canada and that is the worst company for shipping items to canada when it comes to duty and time.

I think you can get 15% off a £50 spend at sports direct through the vouchercodes.co.uk website at the moment in case that helps.

no one can ever doubt his bats...they are indeed amazing....but the point is they are giving away v12 at a price of v6.........or may be cheaper then that.....

It's a gamble regarding the weight of the cricket bat

Why all the secrecy? Last year everyone was openly mentioning DF with these bats.

There are some things you are just not allowed to talk about...
