Hi chaps,
Had first indoor net session of the year sunday and couple of people had new bats which they seemed quite proud of.
One of our third teamers forked out on a top of the range piri piri from our local sports shop- 230 notes he paid for it; whats worse, reckons he got a good deal as he only paid 230 for it! ??? ???
Massive bat though, must weigh 2 11 id say, 10 straight grains and stickers are quite pimp- but the one o the back was peeling off which would pee me right off as thats prob the coolest thing about the bat! anyone knows who makes them?
Another lad, only 14, had a SH krakatoa players prob 2 pound 9 and paid 200 for it, RRP 250 apparantly1 Looked nice but pricey much?! He looked at my SSH thruxton which weighs circa 2 6 and said it hasnt really got middle! Has a very low spine but quite thick edges, seems to go well and light as a feather.
Has anyone seen some bats at nets this winter and thought ''mate you should have checked out custom bats before you got thoroughly ripped off?!''
Only thing is, we end up hooked and end up buying loads of bats that add up to more lol
Best Wishes

Got my first club net tomorrow!
-
Couple of our first team top 4 bought Blank custom made Nixons for around £200 each, good bats. Nixon Duffle looks nice too.
-
Diverted one of our youth teamers from Kook to Vantage. Quite proud of myself :)
Nets are Friday so will have a browse at some wood.

one guy got an sf laminate. massive bat with absolutely amazing ping and the whole bat is virtually the middle!
-
I feel sorry for people who buy bats at RRP when I know they can do better...will be diverting clubmates to Custom Bats, in particular Lekkas as I will be selling them, in the summer :)
-
What as a rep like kgm?
-
Yeah basically, selling from club to club in my local area etc etc...

New Slazenger, new Puma Iridium, new Vantage Lithium and new Ayrtek tonight. All very nice!
-
No-one except me seems to take new bats to nets for a play. It's very disappointing.
-
Also saw the catastrophic fate of an 8 month old Kook CCX.
-
Just received some sample players vantage gloves, lightest and most comfy/flexible gloves ever- better than my newbery sps's! which was your fav bat of the bunch?
-
Umm having possessed the Ayrtek and Slazenger for a week or two I know them better than the other two but the Vantage was very, very nice and credit to Dan. If I were to pick one I'm afraid it would be the bleached £60 Slazenger!
-
Not an awful lot of new stuff, seen some Woodworm Alpha softs, and a vantage hanging around, but that was won at our charity raffle I think! Just a lot of different batmakers around, some classic Salixes, a Nixon or two, and a lovely Newbery Uzi!
-
Tumo, the vantage that you say was 'hanging around', did anyone know who it belonged to? All sounds pretty dodgy to me, i'd have snaffled it! :D
i'm looking to purchase some indoor cricket balls for a game in a couple of weeks as i'm running the session- cheapest i've found is a tenner online ??? The club will reimburse me within 3 weeks of purchase, or i wont pay my first three match fees- will tell them that on sunday.. moo haha

I'm not sure, I'm not sure whether Dan gave it to the club or it was bought! The club President managed to get hold of some Vantage stickers so I'm sure someone at our Uni must know Dan well!
