« Last post by Jimbo on October 10, 2025, 09:09:22 AM »Rob Pack, Tim Keeley, Andrew Kember (Salix) - outside of getting something nice from the big names those three are right up there with the very very best, especially if you've got £500 to spend.

I'd still trust him to pick me out a bat when I'm not there, but nothing quite like visiting a batmaker and watching them work. He'll have a lot of pre-made stock in his showroom that you can pick from, and he makes adjustments on those if required. Just be sure to message first!

Rob Pack Blue Room / Robert pack cricket bat
« Last post by japanoj on September 30, 2025, 09:25:04 PM »Hi all
I have been mulling over getting a new bat for next season and have been in two minds about where to purchase a bat from.
I want a custom build bat to my weight and feel.
I have seen many YouTube videos of Robert Pack especially going through his different profile bats.
I take it you guys would recommend Robert as my choice of purchase?
Also, am I better of going down to his shop or how does it work purchasing online?

I have a custom bat maker just up the hill, and I will probably get him to make me up a replica.

It's not a common shape made by the big brands, as the trend currently seems to be full profiles with duckbills. SS sometimes do a profile like this as well with the spine into the toe. Maybe the Hunts Calidus? You can always get a custom made up!
