customers are always right for too long in our country mate we accept (No Swearing Please) service

I think Mike Brimble has some dealing with him as well and was shafted by him

Yes, I bought a bag of kit from him, same address and he was called Simon then who had been working at Newbery until laid off by the CNC lathe!!!! He then claimed he had been given £50k to train as a bat maker from some award and set up in Devon, what a load of cr*p, I paid £110 for Bat, Bag, Gloves, Pads and a Thigh Pad, sent it all back as utter horror story, bat was cheap nasty Asian value circa £20 and pads and gloves terrible, bag had huge hole in it from wear..... I bought on ebay and had to fight to get my money back.

Just been scanning their website and decided to send a very formal emailasking for details on the bats and the making process. Let's see what they come back with, if anything

i think if i remember correctly they were pretty popular in perth when i was out there in 2006. obviously they could be made/owned by a franchise or something but i do remember one of the guys having a box of bats selling them on week and sending them back a few later. softs did look ok tho.

The reply I received. Must admit quick response.
He didn't really answer anything I asked though.

Hi Liam

Thank you for your enquiry. £140 is actually pretty much our standard price, we list at £240 rrp because players don't believe they can get a top grade cricket bat for £140. We only sell direct hence no retailers or distributors margin apply to our products.

Our bats are UK made, yes. We buy in our handles. As for pressing we have a system unique (I believe) to us. 

Hope this helps.

Regards

David

simmy, the pressing along with shaping i believe would be the most unique thing as the other raw materials involved in bat making would be the same.

y pressing???

everybody presses a bat by running it through a bat press.

so there is nothing  "unique System" about a bat press

maybe he puts it on floor and runs over it with a car wheel

Don't tell me, pressed softer for extra performance (cough)

how about this unique press? check out the bat on it...

what a shame, I've got fond memories of SP (SP 'flat back' bat & those mitten style gloves we thought were sooo cool in the 80's), obviously this guy has just destroyed any goodwill the brand may have accrued...
