Having spoke to Simon about the bat, he loves it still. Pretty sure we can say he is turning out some really nice bats there. Also the branding is something different which is great to see.

I used a Spectre in the nets - a little heavier than I use these days at 2'13ish, but it picked up nicely and it performed extremely well!
Would I buy one? If I didn't already have so any top notch bats then I would certainly consider it, assuming I could grab one in the right weight!
And as an added bonus, the finish and stickers are excellent  8)

I purchased 2 of them in order to see what credentials they had prior to forming the link up with them for the Ayrtek Edition range. I took a carbine at 2.9 and a spectre at 2.12 for myself.

The Carbine is with a club mate who is getting on very well with it after previously using a chase as hes much more of a stroke player and opens the batting for us (when hes available!!) and i have been knocking in and netting with the spectre that is feeling very nice and will be getting an outting once ready to fully open up in a match format.

Without being convinced about the quality of the product I wouldnt have signed up for them to produce our own Edition, having used a whole spectrum of top end bats over the last few years im more than happy to have the Ayrtek name and logo on an Affinity produced bat.

The passion and research Marcus has put in to this bat is amazing, and I totally agree with Tom. Marcus has travelled the length of the country in how to make the perfect bat, from some of the reviews I seen, he has an amzing bat.. one I hope to buy some day lol

Next week we are getting a complete one-off from Affinity: a grade 1 Toro bat.  Some of you may know that these bats only come in grade 2, but Marcus has made one specially for us in grade 1.  We will, of course, do a video review when we get it.  Those of you who follow us on Twitter will know that it's a pretty stunning piece of willow too!   :)
