After going through many glowing reviews about Robinson bats and their customer service, I decided to buy one for myself. I contacted Robinsons through their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/robinsonsports1937/ (https://www.facebook.com/robinsonsports1937/) page and I immediately received a response from Mr. Surinder Singh from Robinsons. Within two days, he sent me the pictures of a few clefts based on my spec and on the same day he sent it to production.
I absolutely agree with the previous reviewers about the level of service Robinsons offers to one random customer; they treated me like one of their regular, VIP customers. Even after fulfilling the order, Mr. Singh was constantly in touch with me to ensure that I received the item in good condition and to make sure that if I was happy with the product.
About the bat:
2 lbs 9.5 oz
12 grains
G1 Grade

No difference in the pick up -- feels like 2/9ish.
Knocked in for a couple of hours before using it in nets; it pings very well. Looks like upper part of the bat requires little more little knocking in.
Price: Competitive, much more affordable than the branded ones and it is absolutely worth every penny. And, it arrived with a free and quality bat cover -- though I would have preferred a black color one.
Apart from the stickers, I am pretty happy with the bat.
Among all the bats I have purchased in the past few months (about 15 in the range of $150-$600), I'd rate this as one of the top 3 bats; If I take the price into consideration, no doubt, #1.
I am already working on my second order.
-
that's stunning what was the damage(price)?
-
Holy cow that is some stick!
-
It looks to be a really beautiful bat, great profile and so big for the weight. I hope that you score many runs with it!
The only issue I have is the Union Flag label. I don't know why they need to put it on, but if they are going to use this national symbol at the very least they could avoid printing it upside down.
-
@Simmy - Depends on where you are located. Some of my friends spent between 250 to 275 USD to procure this bat from India.
-
That's a beauty.
-

I paid $270 for the bat + shipping cost to the USA

wow is all i can say thats a stunner!

I reached out to them via facebook and placed my order.
-
ah ok
and did you request that shape? or is it something that they do already
-

I was refering to the same shape as well. Just say VK profile 2.10 will guarantee a full profile.
-
Wow :o
-
Great looking bat, hope the bat performs as good as it looks
-
That is a bit of a looker!
You got a very decent bat there :D
-
Oh my lord that is a stunning bat...i had one arrive earlier in the week and I think i need to share pics of mine too :)...
from personal experience the bats do ping from the get go but I highly recommend gentle knocking and putting a scuff sheet on them for the first season. hope you get tons of run
If anyone is reaching out make sure you mention what handle you want too, RS will do a round handle by default - if not asked - but they do make a very nice oval handle as well.
-
^ Do they make big bats?
-
^ Do they make big bats?
Define big? they cannot make anything bigger than what JS wright give them in cleft form....I had once asked for something made out of oversized cleft but was told they don't get any...so do they make big bats for weight from standard clefts? Yes...can they make a warner replica? probably no unless something has changed in last little bit
-
Very jealous, it is a stunner!
Grains, Grains, Grains!

Nice looking bat..I have one in production with them. Will post details once I receive it.

You have just received a stunning BDM, ordered a RS and already working on a custom SS? :o
-

Stunning value for £208 at today's rate
-
Wow!!!
Absolute stunner
-
Love these bats. Hard to argue with Robinsons at the moment.

Living the life! I don't need that many for sure as I am an avg. player but I do like buying them. :D
Not planning on using all...may even sell few at some point or just hang them in my office!

Ping me when you are planning to sell that BDM. ;)
-
great bats and great compnay
-
Apparently to Aus you need extra fumigation costs.
Plus shipping and bat price , it doesnt actually seem to work out better than say a Ton Reserve or a top of the line BDM...
-
Also cant tell the images but is the top part of your shaped like this?

I would have thought that if a flag was going to be used to signify English willow then an English flag should be used , as opposed to a British one .
Nice bat . All Robinsons seem grainy , well finished and great value . Just not fussed on the stickers . And the initials R.S make me think of a profanity involving rodent droppings .

A more suitable bat sticker I feel.
RS are producing some great bats at the moment.
-
Super bat congrats, I will certainly buy from RS.
-
I got mine over the weekend. Average to good in terms of looks, great ping and decent balance which was what requested. Will post a detailed review at some point.
-
I have also picked one up. Just being prepped by a "cricket friend" but early impressions are blooming marvellous. Photos and review to follow.
-
I've got 3 on the way. Hopefully being shipped today

I'm having serious issues with photobucket but hopefully these do the bat justice
Knocked in now and edge tape, face & two grips have taken it to 2.10
40mm edges and I am incredibly impressed with feel, balance and the size and response of the middle
Could not resist a net with old balls and it's as good a bat as I hoped it would be... straight in match day bag.
Robinsons do not disappoint.
-
@t2ylo - Nice bat. Is this a profile copy of some bat or a standard profile from RS?
-
With their supposed brilliant cuetomer service, they seem to have enough customers to even have time to reply whatsapp messages these days ;)
-
I think they tried to tell me it was Kohli profile ;-)
In reality I picked it on weight and looks (and highish middle)
Then I just hoped it performed.
Bit of a gamble but very impressed with balance
-
Looks a beauty @t2ylo !! I've got 3 on their way over from India at the moment.

What are the opinions on the performance? There is a lot of fervor in the forum about these bats but I haven't read much about the performance?
