Title: Phantom Bats
Post by: sam12345 on May 16, 2017, 02:33:15 PM
Hi guys, seen a lot about the quality of phantom cricket recently but never really heard of them till now. Look a top brand and quality bats made in the UK-  wondering if anyone knows who makes sticks for them?

Thanks

Wonder if TK will continue to make their bats now that own brand is being launched?

I think TK will continue making all the brands he does. And in parallel make his own ones too.  :D

Shame about the horrible stickers...

That is Tim EX-Newbery. Now made mainly in India and occasionally by Paul Aldred for the highest graded.
And I suspect that Tim may be a bit too busy trying to get the brand launched?

How many brands does TK make?

And Aldred?

Are any other UK bat-makers individually so well-respected that their work proceeds their employers/brand?

I know about SK in Australia...
