Interestingly County were at Lords, I had a chat to their rep on Friday afternoon.
He had some decent bits of wood, but the stand wasn't as good as the GN one.

Vitas prices for the county bats are somewhat better too...!!

I went in and looked at the bats, some guy wanted one but didnt like the price, told him to order it through Vitas but made sure i was out of ear shot of the rep!

im there on Friday

I'll bring along a part made and my tools and get cracking with a bat and maybe you can show me where im going wrong?

I struggle with the handle and shoulders .... think my tools need sharpening

That's probably a bit more involved then I can help you with.

I dropped my brand new custom one that I only received from you guys a couple of months ago onto concrete. Broke my little heart! Only has a couple of minor dings and stuff, would that be something you could do?

Can't promise anything without looking at it, I wouldn't want you to bring it in and end up gutted!

Did you meet Puk (Matt) there? He was very pleased with his little bit of work on Cooks blade

Buzz we were gutted not to be there. It would have been the 11th year straight of attendance and my 7th consecutive year, we have tried so hard to improve the quality of the stand and the involvement of the public in our exhibits.

However we are booked in for the ashes so we will be back.

I will say hello when you are back then! 

having a batmaker at the ground does add something to the experience in my view.

Will be attending my first ODI on the 9th of June at Edgsbaston, will there be any trade stalls there or is that just a test thing.

As a general rule we only do test matches.

What would the benefit be of chopping off one of the shoulders like this?

If you have a very low grip(or at least bottom hand, you can have issues with the shoulder of the bat catching your finger)



You can see how that would happen here.

I believe in Cooks case it was due to the hand injury he has, so possibly he has extra padding on his gloves, or has had to adjust his grip slightly.

For anyone coming to see the 1st test in Cardiff, we will be located behind the 'Really Welsh Pavillion', see you all there.
