Has anyone outside the North East use their gear? I have the full kit for about the 3rd time and it's all absolute quality in my opinion! Ill get some snaps up of mine soon!

I have a Crown XXL LE bat which is reasonably traditional profile but it's a quality piece of willow!!
Never used their softs but suspect they put quality top of their list?

The main softs are basically the same as the Chase softs: http://www.owzat-cricket.co.uk/acatalog/ChaseBrand.html with a few colour changes etc, I personally prefer to use his sister company Pro Zone which is ran in the same place etc as I simply prefer the branding more!

Chris Ellison bought the brand, previously he finished Fusion pressed blades. Although I imagine he's making them from scratch now.

I had one, was a decent stick.  However didn't last very long, as have none of the ones at my club.

Spot on Tom, Chris and his Dad now make the bats from scratch! The bats can be a bit hit and miss however I've always been looked after, the softs are some of the best on the market in my opinion!
