Title: Sussex Bat Making
Post by: Churchy1989 on August 10, 2016, 01:37:40 PM

Myself and a Teammate are looking to plunge into crafting some bats over the winter months to keep us entertained.

I have spoken to John who should be able to source us some part made clefts in different grades for trial and error.

Just wondering if there is anyone else in Sussex that does some on the side, would be good to get some tips etc..

Only 2 well known makers in sussex that are probably too busy to help. Matt at h4l might or even Alex at dunamis but are miles away from us! Although there is a guy in hastings that makes some but i couldnt get hold of him last time i tried!

Hmm, that's what I thought. Any ideas if Phantom Cricket make their own?
