Interesting, was that before or after they withdrew from selling retail?

I can quite believe the Tyronica is made elsewhere. The heavy Hydra I sold on was completely different shape and finish wise.

After, it was early last year, I did and indeed still want his press.

Just checked out the stickers. They no longer say "Made in Yorkshire", rather, they say " Handmade Yorkshire England" which is a subtle but significant difference!

I think you might have been looking at a few Malik's from your opening post?

"Apologies for the rubbish smartphone images. I was pretty pleased, seems very responsive and pickup feels great. Until I've knocked it in I can't comment on the wavex handle but I will update this review when I do. Had a chat with the two Chris's and they were showing me some absolute monster lammy's - 50mm edges on 2'15/3'6 bats. Great service, lovely bat."

They weren't Mike. Chris made them himself as he was describing what a pain in the (No Swearing Please) it was to put together ie. glueing the face. Apart from the allrounder shop at Headingley, I imagine the two Chris's can cope with demand from the visits to the farm. Be interesting to hear from either of them on the subject.

My bat says "Hand Craft Cricket Bat Yorkshire : England".

I must go up and see him again soon, I wonder why he is making them?

[uknsaunders]

Certainly plenty of demand for them.

when you say they are involved with malik, has that got to do with this "Kippax are the preferred bat maker to many County and International players, we also make for 5 other internationally known brands" , from the homepage
