They are nice bats and great prices, mine is very good. Finishing isn't perfect on the back but it's acceptable

All made in the uk softs are very good indeed mate and Garret is a mate of Nathan's but not sure if involved at all

These are made in UK by a lad I know. His background is woodwork/joiner.

I get the kit for cheap as I helped sort the sifts and look at the bats he makes as he likes a second opinion.

All bats are made to customer shapes as he doesn't like to hold much stock after he was lumbered with some bats for a while

Didn't know anything about this maker. Cheers for sharing!

Softs are UK made! Good to see
Just looked at the Facebook site for sovereign , the bats and softs look very nice

Those softs are definitely made by Robinsons, the designs are identical to a lot of other brands from this year (albeit I believe @GarrettJ actually had them first if I remember rightly?)

Not that this is a bad thing though, the top Robinsons softs are exceptional

Syntax is underrated.

Looks like the bat has a lot of wood for the weight.

The keeping gloves design was "stolen" by some companies or should I say allowed to be used by Robinsons, shocking business ethics. I believe the next batch will be Ransons made.

Pretty standard practice sadly! Can't go wrong with Ransons mind, had some samples from them before - easily on par with the Robinsons kit

i use the kit and know the bloke and put him onto some softs manufacturers but dont know what he will decide but whatever they are they will be decent quality

are the softs in England much more expensive
