Title: Bat Pressing
Post by: purplemartlet on March 17, 2015, 01:14:48 PM: Can anyone help? Just made a bat with a friend, but we need to press it. The good people at Gray Nicolls could'nt help because we have already shaped the back, they suggested trying here. We are from Sussex, but will travel anywhere to someone who can help.

Failing that Hell4Leather Matt may be able to help, he is in Kent so not far from you. Most of the other sponsors on here are a bit of a trek for you...
