Hi guys,

Anyone have information on Phantom cricket... who makes their bats, where do they get their willow from, quality of bats, quality of softs?  Can’t see much spoken about them on the forum - thanks

went to showroom the other week,and range is of the highest quality,top grade willow in some interesting shapes,finished to a high premium.
Softs as good as i have seen from anyone,albeit on the pricey side but i guess you get what you pay for !

I think they have some of the best branding out there, but I can't look past the price as a consumer. At the same time, they look fantastic, and are evidently the highest quality.
They remind me of Newbery in some ways- back when they were the top, top brand along with M&H.
Maybe they are the Modern Newbery?

Had a look at their website - the kit looks unreal & if it's Keeley made the bats are pretty trustworthy.

Anyone have their kit and can shed some light on quality & performances etc.?

Few Phantoms at my club, one of the girls is sponsored.
Bats all sound glorious, respond well. Haven't had a decent look at the softs.

Cheaper from forum sponsors who offer bats from the same batmaker. Pretty sure you can add your own phantom stickers too

Not a fan of brands that sell stickers, or puts their stickers on refurbed bats. You never know what is genuine and what's not. I think I. Right in saying Affinity had a set of stickers for bats refurbed by them. This seems a better way to go in my view.

I have their full range including Black Edition Bat. It was knocked in by IJC and they did an amazing job. Ball flew when I made contact.

This, Phantom bats always look very nice but sticks from the same maker are available cheaper elsewhere? Other brands that sell them aren't as fond of a spelling mistake either.

So, it isn't a homage to the Claas Commandor combine harvester? I feel misled. After the Gomselmash, the Commandor was my favourite. ;)
