Title: Cleft suppliers near Bristol
Post by: patriotscreen on July 01, 2015, 04:59:02 PM

Hey guys,

Sadly my favourite bat is going to need to be replaced soon, it's an absolute cannon but I toed a yorker and ended up having to chop some of the toe off as it was too damaged. So now my prized bat has a rather short blade.  :(

Being that I am 6ft and it already had a slightly shorter handle I think it's time for a new one. I make my own bats, so I am wondering if anyone knows of any suppliers in or around Bristol where I can go to select a cleft that I like, and have it handled and pressed? The rest I do myself.

Thanks in advance,

Russ

Is Dom Shillabeer still on here? I know he's in Somerset (Huish & Langport CC) and pretty sure he produces his own clefts. Also a very nice guy so could be a good option.

Edit: DS Cricket I think is his bat company name.
