I tend to find a lot of people jump on the Warsop bandwagon but haven't actually owned a one, i do know a few people that rate them but i would never recommend something i dint rate.

Warsop or SAF, they both have a passion for the game and making the very best kit. Woodstock is purely a money venture, I've dealt with the owner for 4/5 years and found him to be unhelpful with poor knowledge of cricket and customers.

Both Warsop and SAF will want to make you a quality bat and if they cannot do something will say as opposed to someone who will say yes to everything and tell you you have picked a beauty no matter you go for.

I'd go with saf over warsop.  A mate of mine has had three warsops split on him, handle to toe in the last two years. Looks like a pressing issue.

Mike, I don't know how the industry works so don't know how much knowledge Woodstock has of the cricket industry. My experience with them though was pretty good. Good service all round, quick communication, quality gear and most competitive price I could find. It was a sort of leap of faith and it paid off. This is not to say that the next guy will have the same experience.

I know the gear is all right and communication should be good as he has nothing else to do apart from Woodstock but there are many reasons behind my views. The facts of why he left Newbery and what he actual role there was have been lets say, overblown massively to be polite. I would say it is like a former office employee in a Audi dealership being asked to leave and setting up a dealership in town claiming he knows how to make an equal car based on his time in the business and just rebadging other cars to look like Audi's.

At least Warsop and SAF know how to make a car and build it themselves.

In which case you will find many friends here... I have a SAF which I love. But in the mean time, why limit yourself to just those three? the new Hell4Leather softs look stunning so do bear that in mind.

Cheers, I have had a look at the hell4leather equipment but it actually doesn't take my fancy! I like like plainish cricket equipment and the colours on the pads dont do it for me!

I think Mike could be using the old mechanic example...

Plenty of people can take a car apart, but only a few can put it back together again and get it working ;)

If you like quite plainish stuff the Redback softs are very nice, and excellent quality.  Top notch bats as well.
