I see the boys down at Solitaire now offer a service of being able to go to the factory and see your bat being made.

Surely this must be a good thing as we all know they have a tendency to be heavier than asked for.

Has anybody done this so far or does anybody think they might...?

How do people rate solitaire bats in general?

My solitaire is lovely, i've taken the stickers of it because i wasn't a big fan of them!

Takes a long time to get it fully knocked in, but after that it's a cracking bat. Well worth the �115 a paid for it.

It took a while most probably around 2 hours of mallet work. Then I took it on a bowling machine everyday for about 2 weeks then, i could tell it was fully knocked in. The only problem is that the handle is really thin, and the profile is massive :\

Hence custom made you should be able to choose handle size....?

I had i asked for a Short Handle. I did mention a slightly large handle.. but didn't listen, i had to send mine back a few times because the spine wasn't straight it was curved to the one side, also there was a large lump at the bottom of the handle.

I have now bought a fair bit of kit from Roger and found the quality of all the products good with the value first class.
My bat plays really well and I would rate it only slightly below my Talisman Tendulkar which does have a lot more wood in it at the same weight.
His kids bats are brilliant value too I have recently bought a size 5 for �50 which is every bit as good as the salix pod my son had previously and he hasnt complained about the weight :-)
