I tested one of these with AOC magazine last year. I know all the manufacturers send thier best stuff to bat tests but this was one of the stand out products. Light but went like a train and certainly the favourite of 2 of the pros. The model was the Kensington.

Since then 2 guys at my club have bought bats from there at a decent price and had no complaints at all.

No idea who makes them though  :D

I think thats the new name for the Kensington so I'm sure you won't be dissappointed. Post some pictures when you get a chance, I'd be interested to know how it turns out.

They've also got a very reasonably priced SS KP in their shop too. Just a touch out of my price range unfortunately.

Duck and Run have been around for a fair few years. They always looked reasonably priced, but I could never bring myself to buy on because I didn't like the stickers. They've massively improved this year though...

I had a couple. rebound was great. pick ups werent great but that could have just been the weight as they were over what i normally used. finishing was average at best. too heavy so never used in a game but sold them on and people seemed happy with the response off the mallett

There website says UK made which is why I asked. I think TLB bats are champ made and I'm told are really good.

Just been informed by Duck & Run that the bat I have was made in Huntingdon, and a quick google search brings up Hunts county.... Anybody else know of any other bat crafter's in that neck of the woods?
