Met the owner yesterday as we played a side he guests for and admired from afar the grainy willow and very high quality softs-based in Crawley, i'd recommend a visit as right up there imho and also was sporting a prototype shoe, hopefully ready for next season.. Worth supporting, very personable Gentleman!

Will be very difficult to break into shoe market
Intrigued to see what comes out

Struggle to reconcile their pricing with the fact they are a sticker brand which, as far as I'm aware, buys in pre made bats from India. All looks very nice but the price structure is what I'd expect from a boutique manufacturer.

Are they no longer Keeley made?

Not for a while
I don’t think any at all in uk have that privledge anymore
Someone may correct me if I’m wrong ?
Although you can still find phantoms Keeley made just not very recent ones

The story I'd heard is that they switched to RS as their main supplier for bats. Not saying RS don't make a lovely bat, but I reckon you'd pay quite a bit less to buy an RS, have it shipped from India then get a set of stickers from Phantom.

Phantom are having some bats UK made I believe but TK has scaled back massively on making for other brands as well as cutting back o the number of retailers stocking them in order to sell more direct to customers.
