I think Mr Brimble knows a thing or 2 about a thing or 2 as far as this company is concerned. I could, of course be wrong.

I know Petehosk had a Choice Willow Lionheart, I have one of the imports that was great value for money and a good performer.
A team-mate had a black prince that seemed to go well until it split, he got it repaired then it got nicked!
Would be very Interested to hear Mike's views on them.

A couple of guys at our club have got the black princes. Traditional shape and they seem to like them alot

[Talisman]

Actually I know very little about them , try Dan Nicolls, he used to work there.

[alexrickyponting]

Is dan niccols dan was at vantage and now salix?

[Talisman]

Yes

[100 not out]

Did someone mention RNS Larsons with these guys? Have I got it mixed up?

[SkipperJ]

Apparently their low end bats are supplied by RNS

Top bats, have had many myself. Last one split unfortunately but they're so helpful at the shop.

[jimba101]

I think they look good, like the black price stickers alot. Is the shop worth a visit not really that far from me?

[jameswhite]

yeah definitely, they sell loads of stuff there not just choice willow stuff, and like i said they're all perfectly nice

[alexrickyponting]

If it's not that far then yeh It's probably worth a visit, small shop with i think newbery, kook, slaz, addidas, gm, gn and mongoose in stock bat wise. Occasionally there are a few blanks lying around but normally the only choice bats on show are by the till and are sold/repaired/refurbed etc and not available

Most of the bats you see knocking around the Herts leagues are from these guys. I've had 2 customs from them and they have been great. I've just bought a test grade Teutonic which is a monster. It's gone like a train in the nets and I'm loving the new retro stickers. In all I'd reccommend the wholeheartedly, for the friendly service, their great indoor nets (and winter indoor league) and the bar!
