Title: Spyder Bats
Post by: tommo256 on September 03, 2010, 10:03:28 AM
Hello,
I saw a topic on them in 'for sale' other day and wondered about them. Who makes them? Where they are made? Prices? etc?

Cheers
Tommo x

Spyder bats are based in staffordshire and run by Gary, they are a cricket retail company who also sponsor several county pros.

Not sure who makes them or the prices as such as I had an email from Gary some time ago about stocking our helmets in his store.

The Spyder bats used by some County players seem to go very well too!
It's a brand I haven't tried, but would be interested to see how they go!  8)

A couple of lads at my club have them, they seem to love them. I've tapped them up with a ball. Good rebound and good pick up. I noticed they only have 2 rubber inserts in the handle

Possibly the only brand you haven't tried Pete?

I have just noticed that Spyder have lost the two Irish sponsored batmen-Kevin O'Brien and Paul Stirling.

Both batsmen have been snapped up by SS. That is a big loss to a small company going into a world cup

Some brands have signed up players/teams for the world cup only and they are free to use whoever there after

Post by: johnnyw on February 17, 2011, 10:57:09 PM
Oh i didnt know that. It makes sense know because a good few of the Irish players have moved sponsors to SS and SF

My kit is all spyder gear, bat is around 2,10 and goes like a gun! pads and gloves are also very comfortable and similar to the stuff you get from the big brands, if i'm not mistaken he's also offering custom pads and gloves!

Cheers mate, at least most people know how to reply on a forum when asking questions.

Not on facebook anymore Dave, can't be doing with looking at vintage style photos of my friends dinner every day, but thanks mate!

A bit of detective work on Twitter done and I found some photos I think. Would be interested to see his keeping range, as this lad was a keeper and his gloves looked rather smart.

They are awesome bats and their softs are decent as well, saw one of Dhoni's bats today it was unreal! I have a custom M&H, this spyder was half the price and hate to say it but a better pick up and piece of willow.
