The lack of physical address listed on the website or Contact number doesn't ooze confidence to me

I've sent them a few emails had a response from a guy called Peter Johnson who sent me pics of what he could offer and said if I was not happy he would offer me a full refund

Asked if i could visit the factory but couldnt as it was in an industrial estate and branded a "risk" as the neighbours use HGVs so not safe for the public, hence they are looking to move premises

But to be honest £155 for a grade a+ custom made with a full money back guarantee does seem like a great deal

seriously......i wouldnt go anywhere near a company that doesnt list any physical address or landline number if handing over my hard earned money. Also a story about HGV's meaning you cant come and look around to see whats on offer sounds very far fetched!!!

very easy to have a website as a front for someone who stores the bats in a back bedroom and imports them from asia.....which will pocket them a tidy margin on your £155 for an A+ bat grade that doesnt actually exist!!

Cant see what other advice you would require

This guy sells fake stickered bats on eBay. Seen this web address in one of his listings, will see if I can find it again. They seem very dodgy IMO.

Agreed, i have looked at alot of the MSR, and alot of the photo's are taken on a snooker table and i am guessing that there are 2 of these photo's being used.
I have also seen on their 'photo's', there is a photo of someone i am sure i reconise looking at cricket bats in a shop. Bit missleading if you ask me.
But, if you take a punt and are happy with what you get, then heyho!
