Title: New cricket bats from SF
Post by: VKS on July 07, 2015, 04:19:52 PM
We have just received a new delivery of Sapphire and Black Edition bats from SF. The new stickers look pretty good as does the new style SF logo to the side of the bat.

We had 4 of each but one of the Black Editions was sold earlier today, before we had a chance to take some photos.

They do look very nice but I'm amazed at the blatent copying that's being going on lately with some of the designs!

Can I ask the weight of the Sapphires you have in stock?

Many vendors in India are making bats for more than one major brand and profile copy is quite inevitable. I have seen SG bats which match the exact shape of certain Kookaburra bats. Both of them are made in the same factory. Does Kook do anything to stop that ??? I don't think so ... Unless someone enforces such rules, profile copy is going to stick around.
 
Currently duck bill profile seems like the norm and every manufacturer wants to have a bat in that shape and label it as players edition :-)

Agreed, replace the black shade in the stickers with green and u will get a Kook kahuna look alike.
