Evening All,
Very pleased to confirm that we will be stocking Chase for the first time as of next month. Neil and I will be visiting Dummer Down Farm on October 25th to hand-pick our first batch of Chase bats, and much like with H4L, Newbery, Gray-Nicolls et al, we will be taking pre-orders in advance of the visit, so if you want a new Chase bat, and want it hand-picked exactly to your specs, simply pay us an £80 deposit and send through your specs! :)
We will also be stocking their batting gloves (FLC highly recommended!!) and wicket keeping equipment and, possibly, bags as well, all of which can be pre-ordered...
I will update this thread with prices etc. after I've set them tomorrow.
We hope to hear from you soon and please feel free to chase us about Chase! :D

Been to dummer a few times some serious bats down there and the softs are stunning.

Very good news Paul, not seen a bad Chase bat yet. The 175 I have goes like a train...

I still vividly remember the ping of that from knocking it in two years ago - it was that good! :) Glad it's still going strong...

As a goodwill gesture, we will include free knocking-in for any forum member who pre-orders a Chase bat...
If anyone is interested in pre-ordering any Chase soft gear, please PM me for prices etc. Ditto for those who want more details on the Chase bats: profile shapes, grades etc.
-
Paul, where is the furthest you go to hand pick your bats?
-
Just went to the Chase website and their gear looks very classy indeed.
Paul, can other options (such as LB) be specified at a fairly specific weight (and not a weight range as shown on their website)?
-
Excellent news! I've always been interested in Chase bats, so it will be good to see some in the flesh. So to speak.
-

So far, I think it's been Taunton (M&H), but will probably be Slazenger soon as their warehouse has moved up to Wigan! They are long days and the transport costs really add up, which is one of the reasons why our bats will never be the cheapest on the market...

Vincent, as with H4L, bats can pretty much be made to order with Chase. Definitely one of the benefits of the bat maker doing it all in-house! :)

Eurgh, another brand I've wanted to try out... Do you know if they use a CNC, Paul? I may have gotten brands muddled up, but I think I remembered a Chase video on Youtube, which showed them using a CNC. Not that it matters, since B3 and GM have both impressed me with their technology, but it doesn't hurt to know! :)

I believe it was a Copy Lathe in a Twittter image. Someone commented on it on here about March time this year.

I don't know yet, Chad, as I haven't been to Dummer Down Farm before! I don't want to speculate on something like this until I've seen it with my own eyes...
-
The FLC pads are the best I have seen, in terms of materials and what one can ascertain from looking in a shop, they are serious bits of kit.

Ah right, cheers for the clarification! I know they're more than capable of handcrafting a bat from beginning to the end, but makes sense that they'd have a copy lathe to minimise work load and improve consistency somewhat. :) Great that you're stocking them, Paul! Was getting a bit bored of the lack of brands you're stocking(!) :D

Thanks, Chad! I will take that as a compliment, even though the reality is that we've had to drop a couple of other brands to make room for Chase...
-
Which brands have you dropped Paul (if you dont mind me asking)?

Ah ok, no worries :)

No pre-orders for Chase bats yet, which I'm a little surprised about, but the fact that they weren't up on our website certainly didn't help! But never mind, they are all up now, as you can see here: http://www.itsjustcricket.co.uk/chase-m64#7550622702110559 (http://www.itsjustcricket.co.uk/chase-m64#7550622702110559)
I think the Lancer and Finback would be ideal for anyone in Australia due to the mid-high sweet spots. All Aussie customers get 16.67% off the listed prices too, remember...
Pre-orders can also be made with the £80 deposits, as discussed before. The bats will be picked on October 25th. Please PM me with any queries.

Out of interest, how did the trip to Hampshire go?

Let's see how this one gets answered :D

I was thinking the exact same thing....
-
OK, I'm intrigued. What's the story?
-
1) Paul was going saturday.
2) An online sale halted paul going saturday.
3) Paul is going a bit later in the year (date to be confirmed)
Thats it in a nutshell.

Look at the Lord's sale thread for the explanation:-
