Vantage Cricket
« on: January 31, 2012, 05:37:30 PM »

Just wondering If anyone has had any experience with Vantage bats or softs?

I'm interested in buying some kit, Just need some reviews of their equipment.

And it's a cracker....


Yeah I saw your post with that bat. You got it for a bargain as well didn't you?
Any other reviews you got about the bat, about the performance, have you still got it and anything wrong (like a weak toe)?

I've been offered a package deal by them - which contains the players gloves, pads and 1 custom made bat.
Just need some reviews on their stuff, to see if it will be a worthwhile investment.

Bat's great. Lovely balance and nice long middle. Only became my match bat for the second half of last season. Took a while to get going but now it flies.

No weak spots that I can see (hope this isn't famous last words!!)

Thanks for the reviews. Has anyone got any more pictures of the bats, gloves? seen a few of the pads look really nice! Usually I go with top brand equipment, but in the last few years gone towards smaller companies and custom made equipment. Still get good customer service as well.

Did have a solitaire before, but i over oiled it and the willow became weak and it split. It didn't seem like I over oiled it either, maybe it was 12 hours before I added the next coat on.
