Post by: Bwcc on June 04, 2018, 06:47:20 PM: I think I would have been slightly concerned about that considering the retail price and the price it was selling for brand new in the listing

They seem to move their production round a bit, Chase used to do them in the UK.

Post by: Bwcc on June 05, 2018, 09:31:23 AM: Think there’s a good reason they have to find new guys to make for them

Surely Compton uses his own bats? Or now that his own profile shape is illegal does he just whack some stickers on it?

I have to ask, I thought XX was in Norwich, not in the south east of England? It is just I have just seen a picture of Gayle with a different batmaker from monday, based a fair way from XX.
