Robert Pack Limited Edition.
« on: March 25, 2011, 08:05:16 AM »
Im very pleased to announce Robert Pack Cricket will soon be releasing a Limited Edition range of bats. These will be seperate from the Blue Room brand but you can still expect the same high quality hand craftsmanship and amazing performance. The bats will be made in the workshop by hand from only the finest willow available and will be lavished with all new Robert Pack labels. More details coming soon.

So what will be the difference to the blueroom custom bats? Just the stickers?

The details above are all I have at the minute mate. As soon as Rob gets back I will ask for more details. I'm sure there will be more to it than that though.

Is Robert Pack a true bat maker in comparison to say Tim Keeley, James Laver and Julian Millichamp or does he just finish bats.

id say yes...

he is a true batmaker.

having the ablity to produce bats from scratch makes you a bat maker which rob can.

but in a busisness perspective the volume of bats produced is not going to be cost affective when you can get clefts pre handled. dont be thinking finishing bats is an easy simple task.

id say Tim keeley rarey makes bats him self and most are from the cnc machine as are a hell of alot of brands!

it wud be imposible for rob to meet the puma demands if they where all made from scratch

Rob is a genuine podshaver/Batmaker/willow craftsman call it what you like. And simmy I bet Tim is just as busy mate, I'm surprised both of these guys still have skin on their hands from the workloads they carry
