Redback is my obvious choice.

Ditto.
The paradox sounds perfect for your style.

I'm starting to narrow down what I like. I now know that some brands dont press there bats and some use someone else to make them. But then I'm told that the ones made by someone else are the best. Then Woodstock make all there bats by hand from clefts and Ninja hand choose every cleft from the willow seller. I will knock some brands off the list onight. I want to choose the bats on Saturday and then gloves and pads and bag by next week. Thanks to those helping me so far.

I am sure if you were to contact Gary at Redback, He will do a great deal for all of your kit, he has always done me a decent package price.

I'm pretty sure that Woodstock don't press their own bats either and buy them in from the same place as everyone else who doesn't press their own!

Redback is staying on my list. I am told very good things about them. Woodstock make everything themselves and all by hand. I've been told they do that directly by someone who has bought his bats there so would know and he is a big fan.

Redback do everything by hand and so do Woodstock, but that doesn't mean they press the bat...

How do they press it then?

By using a third party. You can purchase willow direct from Wrights, grow it yourself or buy it from elsewhere and then send it off to be pressed...

OK but is that good or bad?

Generally it's simply not an issue! The guys who press in the UK for others can be measured on one hand, and the quality is good.

H4L certainly did me proud with my cleft when I sent it to them. Picking up a couple more next week. Can't wait!

Hi mate,
Woodstock Cricket won the Wisdens Best Bat of the year 2012 in the Good Gear Guide this month. They are holding a pre season 20% off bats sale in line with the award and this makes their Grade 1 English Willow bats �180!!! They are also completely handmande which is very unusual nowadays and bespoke made to what you want so they would suit you perfectly.
Best thing to do is speak to John on 07867306381 who will be able to sort you out. They will probably sort you out a deal on soft gear too if you're interested.

That is a great price, do you use there gear? Is it as good as M&H?

Joe · « **Reply #57 on:** February 29, 2012, 09:28:47 PM »

Isn't the Woodstock custom bat considerably more than �180?

M&H isnt the be all and end all of the cricket bat world u know lol

any bat from a forum sponsor should match the performance of a M&H for half the price

Until April they are �180, after that price goes back up to the normal �225. Still great prices for great bats
