I've just won a bat from simply cricket through a competition on all out cricket's website. Not really won anything before so very happy. Anyone used or seen a simply cricket bat before? I believe I'm getting the enigma model. Pics and review to come when it arrives.

Congrats!
I enter everyone but never win :-(

Nice one, it's good to see someone from here win. I enter lots of the comps but haven't won (yet....)
Hope you get a nice stick

Congrats, and this encouraged me to enter the other comps :) Heres hoping!! :D

They're a local brand to me, started a couple of years ago and the gear seems to be improving every year including the softs. A lot of people are using their stuff, and bats seem to be nice and I'm sure they're always looking to improve each year so hopefully the new model Enigma will be great for you! Love the look of it. Please do post pics and reviews, would be nice to see how it goes!

Hope you get it sooner than my competition win! I won some gear through the AOC Christmas quiz and have yet to see anything. Keep pestering but to no avail.

That's poor! What was it that you won?

I was looking for your thread @Mr_Orange to pester you to see what came of your win. I have my answer now :)

Yep, I've been eagerly awaiting it so I can show to all. The last I heard was at the start of March when AOC asked for my shoe size in case any shoes could be thrown into it too. Have emailed since but no reply. Will try again soon and get that post updated hopefully!

So this arrives in the USA today

Box looking a bit worse for wear!

She came unstick erred which I found a bit odd and covered in cherries...I assume the boys at AOC had a little net with her before sending her off.

A very different profile...excuse the bruised toe, I ran a marathon a few weeks ago and it is still bruised.

Here she is stickered up

All in all not a bad bat for free....taps up OK ( nowhere near my UZI or even low grade Kook) not sure what I think of the profile to be honest. It says 2.9 on the shoulder and it feels about that but she is heavily concaved as used expect at that weight with that profile.
Not sure when she'll get a run out but a nice little extra bat.

It's got cherries as would have been a bat that was tested in the good gear submissions, brands have the option of donating the entries to AOC to use as prizes should they wish to do so. Hence it being A. blank and B. Used. 👍
