Anyone got an idea who makes pro bats these days, for the likes of Root, Bairstow etc?
Might be after something new, but not interested in going for a big label off the shelf - would rather have something I have input in and can see being whittled away on. Not a guarantee yet, as the Newbery is still holding up really well and going like a rocket, but I have to change a bit of kit every year as a minimum!
Thanks! :)

Roots had a few made by kippax

As well as FC Sondhi.

B3 might be able to help you out too, being a yorkie i wouldnt be surprised if bairstow also has had some from kippax
-
Fair play on that front - never knew about the FC Sondhi stuff.
I'll keep the replies coming in for sure - have heard of a B3 connection, and was aware of Kippax; I'm a Harrogate lad, so Kippax are on my doorstep - still have one I need lightening - ever since I stopped gym work, 2lb 14 is rather heavy for a wee man!
Was looking at Bairstow's and the handle didn't look very Kippaxy - but who knows, probably made to measure!

I saw that. Root loves a thick oval doesn't he? I suppose they'll make exceptions for the England captain.
-
Yeah he does; I guess they'll make his to measure eh ;)
I prefer a thicker handle, but have to make do with my home-made remedy of elastoplast from the first aid kit..!
-
TK used to make most of Root's bats though
-
I can make something to your specs. Drop me a pm if you want to discuss

I saw a picture on the forum of Jonny Bairstows bats and stickers from Adidas at B3 which I would assume they still make them, I know thaw that Salix used to make bats for the pros but I'm not sure if they still make them for any pros
-
Lots to bear in mind - cheers Red :) I've got til the end of the season to see through with the Newbery mind!
Where did you see that picture - never saw it myself?! :P
-
Me, I can get you anyone's. Even the retired players....
with assistance of one fine tip (ie. Sharpie).

Remember to misspell the Pros name with the sharpie, or shorten it ;)

I can assure you B3 did not make Bairstow current bats not his current bats anyway they may have made some in the past.....
funny who Addidas use...

^ Who makes JBWs bats?
-
I thought Salix didnt make any pro bats.

These pictures I saw were literally when he just signed the Adidas deal but pros do change their bat makers from time to time

I don't think they do anymore but before they were an established big brand they used to make a few pro bats
-

I can tell you that a couple of years ago Kember was making for at least 2 very well known players, no idea if that's still the case or not now

I've seen that Naked Attraction TV show, and it seems that the chances of finding a girl with pubiic hair nowadays are only slightly greater than finding one sponsored by Salix.

Cheers for that one...
