Handy at-a-glance guide to the differences of each bat in the Slaz V range, taken from Cricketdirect.

picked up a v800 fusion in SD tonight. Have to say i loved the shape of it. Pickup was not to my liking though.

The V12 LEs are made in England. For £200 that can't be bad. Or, for that matter, a V12 5 Star for £100. Not made in England, but even so.

Do you have one, Centurion? Do elaborate. I have to say, I'm tempted.

I don't have one myself but my mate has one and he loves it. I have borrowed the V12 for throwdowns and it is a decent stick and it picks up well. They are also made in England and for the price, you can't go wrong. Go for it mate. [emoji3]

The V12 5 Stars are 'Designed in England' but made in India from English willow, apparently. So still should be decent. Must be expensive freighting loads of willow to and from India, mind. But evidently not as expensive as making them all in Blighty.

If you mean Sports Direct then it depends on if you are willing to have a go at what some would say the 'Sports Direct' lottery.  Personally everything I have got from there has been fine.  Just to make you aware that the boxes that they send their bats out in are usually massive, some have been bubble wrapped others not so they can move around in transit.  As they are not a specialist retailer you don't get to chose weights for example but I guess if you're not happy with it you can send it back or sell it on.
