Title: Affinity Cricket - Carbine lite
Post by: The Palmist on June 11, 2016, 07:05:29 PM

Usually these rarely come for on sale but recently there have been quite a few on here and on ebay. Anyone tried the lite models and any reviews will be most welcome. They always seem out of budget for me at around 300 but these ones are more affordable.

They are a very similar profile to the Affinity Sport bats I've listed for sale, I have opted for the purple sport stickers as I liked the look of them 👍

The aim was to offer a range that was "more affordable" to the Clubbies that wanted a bat with a decent profile/handle/pick-up whilst on a budget.

These are outsourced as it's simply not viable for Marcus to spend the time hand making a bat to make it fully finished at the price point they are offered.

They wouldn't carry the Affinity brand name of they didn't live Upto a level of performance that warrants them being associated with the brand.
