Lillywhites - a brief look in to the pavilion...
« on: May 05, 2012, 02:56:00 PM »

I had five minutes and thought i'd check this out. I'm not sure about other experiences but i wasn't very impressed. It felt like any other sports direct but with a few higher end bats and some pretty nice top end slazengers that i wouldn't pay £289.99 for.

Mostly disappointing really, and the range of available softs was no different. It all felt a lot like a jumble sale.

I was in London for a day trip about a month back. Popped in and like Tim, wasn't that impressed. A lot of lower end bats and a small amount of top end Slaz, GN, and GM. There was no order to anything and for a store the size of Lillywhites, the range and amount of gear was very disappointing.

Ive heard they are improving but everytime ive been there it has been a shambles.
Ive only ebver picked up some cheap gloves but the bats were poorly selected and always the lower ranges. Perhaps when the sales are on there might be some good deals.

I found a lovely v500 ultimate, but it was far too expensive.

I've seen and held that bat. The Slazengers were nice but over priced.

Don't worry, end of season sale on SportsDirect website would even things out :D
