Vanquish Cricket Bat UK
« on: August 13, 2012, 03:50:14 PM »
Hi!

Has anyone heard of these guys or dealt with them or used their bats?

The website has all sorts of stories and no contact details.

I asked for contact numbers, but got a email saying they do not have a office number but happy to communicate over email and send pictures.

Asked for pictures of a bat and got some stock pictures.

Surprisingly, even after 3-4 email exchanges, I don't know who I am chatting communicating with!

I tried to sue one of their bats cos it said I was useless! But judging by my batting this season, it had a good point!  :(

HI Guys

Just stumbled accross this forum when I googled Vanquish Bats to order a new bat. I ordered a bat from them last year, Asked for a Grade 1 2lb 8oz with a rounded handle (I'm easily pleased)
I must admit, at first I was a little concerned because their phone kept going through to answer phone, but in the end I managed to speak to someone and they were really helpful.

The bat arrived really quickly and it is an abolute gun! If I can find out how to post pics on here I will get a few up of it. The grain is quality, pick up is lovely and the over all balance is perfect. The bat cost me £140.00 and I would honestly recommend these guys to anyone.

I've just ordered a new one at 2lb 9oz so when it comes i shall post pics on here guys!

Not heard of this lot at all, which is odd!

Thanks for the welcome!!!

I don't know how to post pics :s can anyone help me out?

I've just checked out the link to headfort... doesn't fill me with confidence tbh! Maybe they have taken images off the Vanquish Site? God Knows!! I can only speak from my experience with them and they seem like a great bunch of lads.

I don't think they use stock photos anymore I have them on Facebook and they seem to post photos of actual bats???

Anyhow.. I will try and get some photos on here for you guys!!
