Hand Picked every time, unless you know exactly what you want and specify it. Was thinking about getting a bat from someone in the forum and went to have a look and feel. Whilst all the bats looked great the pick up for the one I was going to get was not at all to my liking, but the other style of bat on display picked up a whole lot better. Would not have liked to have made the wrong choice and been lumbered.

We are called 'Custom Bats'. You can't really pick up a custom bat before you buy it, as it should still be a cleft. It's about knowing what you want from a bat and then finding the right batmaker to deliver what you want. I must admit my only custom bat wasn't what I expected when I received it, but in time I've realised it's pretty much perfect for me. I think part of the custom bat experience is the mystery around what you'll eventually get!

Very deep for this time of the day Johnny but as a side note, I have 221 English Willow clefts for sale (all air dried) if anyone is interested.

Looks like I might be doing a tour of the South West cricket companies at this rate...got Redback, M&H, Ayrtek and Uzi on my list now. Could I manage them all in one day...

[Ayrtek Cricket]

Pop in and see us im sure we can come to an arrangement to fall within budget....i played against some of The Fram lads on tuesday night actually!

[Ayrtek Cricket]

Uzi is in Cheltenham i think but would be possible as Roco and Fattus did the Uzi ----> Ayrtek trip another 45 mins down to Taunton from us and another push on from there to Gary @Redback. Early start but you should be able to fit them all in in one day in theory!

Yea I hear you smashed them about a bit actually! Uzi is Swindon but I guess that's about the same distance as Cheltenham. Realistically it is probably you and Uzi one day then M&H / Redback another. I know I have said I will come to Ayrtek before but was scared I would spend too much cash this time though I will be brave!

haha the downend lad was a good bowler as the other Fram lads werent too bad....one got a 50 and batted well.

We accept cards too so its never safe at the office pop in though as weve got a fair few bats in atm which may tempt u....

Not sure who played besides Gary Winsor, would have just been whoever he managed to scape together. We were meant to be playing them sometime too but think you have put them off cricket as they are thinking of crying off 
Card machine...scared! Yea I will pop across from Bestway next time I'm in there loading them up with sweets

Card Machine....Be careful.

[Ayrtek Cricket]

Bring us some sweets in too in that case as may sway my mood into a better deal lol

yeh one lad went for 5 fours off an over so felt a bit sorry for him. I did retire in fairness after getting to 3 figures only for one other lad to go in and hit 49 off 4 overs!! Though he would have put one of the others in instead.

It happens in that kind of midweek cricket doesn't it, never sure what you are gonna come up against.
I shall make sure my car boot is fully loaded with Haribo before I come in, never one to miss out on a good deal

From my experience, picking up a bat first is best. I went to Globe to pick up some bats then got SAF to copy one, but hopefully going to Globe tomorrow and getting a GM.
