Anyone heard of these? Check out the knocking in machine under the manufacturing tab under cricket bats.

Never heard of them, but from the pictures looks like they a pretty good setup. Wonder if the knocking in machine has a lignum vitae mallet end?

Also, couldn't help but notice how thin the handle looks in the picture captioned "binding"  :D

I had a look at the order part of the website and in the handle shape section is has a 'Square' handle option. I've never seen or heard of that before.

Also had a chuckle at the size of the bone they are using to bone the bat.

Why no prices on things ? Other than the packages

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

His prices range from £80 to £280. I believe he sent over a number of bats to the UK in the last couple of weeks. I was going to purchase one, he said he would let me know when they arrive but that was two weeks ago.
