Good idea, Tom, cheers! A £300+ bat comparison review would be interesting, and we've built up a fair collection of those recently.  By then we'll have the M&H bats in too, so should be quite interesting...

I'm full of good ideas Paul, you should know that by now ;).

But in all seriousness it would be good to see how they stack up. We could all giving them rubbish for producing a bat at that price, and for all we know it may be they are unbelievable bats

To be honest, I've liked what I've seen so far, at least in terms of looks, finishing and pick-up, but the shape isn't exactly original, and they were about 7/10 on the mallet rebound test.  Hopefully the actual bats we pick and stock will be a bit better...

Good times Paul, look forward to seeing a video about them!

I will eat one of these bats if a CBF member actually pre-orders one, but as they say, there's no such thing as bad publicity, so what the hell! http://www.itsjustcricket.co.uk/cricket-bats-c17/senior-cricket-bats-c18/new-balance-achieve-cricket-bat-p638

Lads lets all chip in so we get to see Paul eat one of these bad boys hey?

I'm sure I can dig up a few ££££'s to see a New Balance on a plate video :)

They won't catch us this time! Not this time! They haven't spotted us! No, they're all snoring in their bunks! Or, you know what? They're drinking at the bar, celebrating our sinking! Not yet, my friends. Not yet!

Spoke to Kenny Jackson who started the brand off over here in SA the other day and he confirmed that bats and softs were all Sondhi made. By looking at the softs and bats I think they have skimped a bit on top end materials and finishing in order to get to the correct price points so they can get stocked by the major retailers. Boots will apparently be available very soon and I think this will be a more competitive offering compared to the other kit.
