Refreshing to see some profits will be put into community programmes, too.

how are they selling bats for £36?
-
@Tom sold his job lot then.
-
Yeh, deal went through towards the tail end of last year
-
I used the super premium wheelie bag a few season ago. It is huge and has a lot of useful pockets but fell to bits inside one season

I think they've mispriced the MMi3's TBH, but they're also the hardest to sell so perhaps just keen to get rid!
The stock being sold is the rest of the equipment from the 2014 season, some bargains to be had.

Exact same, the fibreglass type material in the top section split after half a season

@Tom are these TK made - for the MMi3's as i would buy a few tbh...
-
All the kit left is SS made.

The same thing happened to mine. Frustrating as a partially see-through top always seemed a pointless feature of the bag in the first place.

I did see a link on ebay for a Cor3 Prime saying it was Kashmir willow.
For 36quid I'm tempted by a Cor3 if it's grade 4 English Willow but not if it's EW from Kashmir.
-
CoR3 Prime is Kashmir if it's Junior. English Willow if senior.
-
£12 delivery for your £36 Mmi though... and that's if they've got the website working properly by now, tried to buy one a while back and nothing ever happened.
-
I've purchased two of the MM13s for £36 each, order placed and money taken from my card on Wednesday so will keep you posted with progress. Very excited to use them in the nets. Do they have any unusual knocking in procedures at all or anything I should know? Never used one before!
-
Very disappointed to say my order for 2 mongoose prime mmi3s has not been fulfilled and my order cancelled... Despite the website STILL saying there is 21 in stock as of now. Very frustrating :(
-
Oh dear, not great considering a supposed relaunch. You’d think they’d want to ensure it all went smoothly if trying to rebuild the brands rep.
-
Yeah especially considering I placed the order a week ago. I'm going to reply saying I'm not happy etc, show them they are displaying stock still available and ask if there's anything they can do with alternative stock. Very disappointed as I had a couple of nets penned in for this weekend
-
Update : Fair play, received a full and honest apology from Mongoose - offered an alternative at wholesale cost (albeit it is unsuitable as I believe it will be slightly too small for me - new 2018 mmi3 but between a Harrow and Full Size - I'm 6'2 ish) and also 25% off softs/pads. Great gesture nonetheless and good to see they are trying to keep the brand alive
