Title: Bates & Bates
Post by: Sivlar13 on May 17, 2016, 03:41:35 PM

Stumbling around Twitter I came across these Bates and Bates bats.

Unsure of their legitness but they're selling supposed 'Grade 1' sticks for £75.

Looks too good to be true to be honest, especially considering their custom made bats cost £375. Bizarre.

And what about the Bespoke for £749.00?
Looks like a red hot deal.

They offer free repairs for life of bat- might be worth popping on for someone near to check it out

Annoys me that they don't mention the word Kashmir in it, bit deceiving.

Life of the bat.
What do you think will end first? Life of the bat or life of the company?
