Slazenger V3 Pro from Sports Direct
« on: October 22, 2011, 01:46:13 PM »
I popped in to Sports Direct with the intention of purchasing cheap but good bats, taking my McCoys voucher with me. The cheap bats were rubbish, but this wasn't. Picked up like it was 2.9 or 2.10, big piece of willow and no concaving. Looks nice too and haven't yet tried the mallet on it. Excellent value at £99. :o So sometimes SD comes good. This is one of the best Slazengers I've seen and is easily on a par with my vintage V500. Just goes to show that occasionally they churn out some decent stuff.

I like the logic behind it, it's just ugly though.

I don't think it is ugly. It's certainly a lot better looking than massive concaving leading to a shark fin!

It used to be Ultimate, Pro, Elite, and then classic I think for this range. I've also seen an elite pro range.

x2, my JJB and Sportsdirect rarely have any decent cricket gear in. Which is surprising considering there are some decent "big" clubs like Blackpool, Fleetwood, St Annes and co around my end. I'd have thought they'd have stocked some higher range stuff, now I have to make a trip to super sports or the one in Bolton (can't remember whether it's cricket supplies or direct)...

Question about sports direct though, when looking at bats online is it simply pot luck when it comes to weight?
