I can't see anything wrong with this guys?

Am i missing the point? should I be concerned about this company? I have dealt with them in the past and the bats they sent out have been spot on! Apparently they use stock photos of their bats rather than posting images of actual bats, But so do Kookaburra, Slazenger, Newberry etc surely?

If any of you find anything of concern please let me know

I think it's just the lack of transparency in there approach that's all mate. No shop front, no easy and efficient contact details, Generic workshop photos. They could be the Aston Martin (no pun intended) of the cricket world but until they become a bit more approachable I'd tread with caution.

Ah I see

Totally agree with that mate which is why I asked them so many questions before I purchased my first bat. They have an email address and I have spoken to a guy on the phone but other than that they do seem pretty difficult to contact.

I must say though, I have purchased bats in the past from the most transparent of companies and the bats have been planks!
look of the draw I suppose!

But the company that are easy to contact will probably take return of the aforesaid plank in line with their obligations a whole lot easier than the one you can never speak to!

True True!! I am sure they have a return / refund policy on their site??

As for where they are made.... I am unsure... Not even sure if they are "made" by them or simply sold?? They are great sticks though so I havent really thought to ask??

I know they look like Pakistan made bats which is by no means a bad thing at all some of the best bats I have used come from there..

My point being that that would be great if you could get hold of them to enact the return!

Sorry for the very late reply guys, I still cant get the photo uploader to work on my netbook.

Since my last post I have purchased two more bats from Vanquish and 4 of my friends have also purchased from them. The sticks they sent us are quality I really want to upload some pics for you guys.

I also managed to get hold one the lads at their office for a chat. Apparently their bats are all produced here in the UK and they guarantee that they don't import any willow what so ever, which is a positive i guess?

anyways, ive got them on facebook and they currently have a sale on so i thought i would jump on here and let you know!

In the meantime.... if anyone can help me pop some photos up that would be great!

Yeah, I think I get that impression too, especially with the grip tape. Nothing wrong with that, although if they have told you that all their bats were UK made, and there were no imports, then I would be a little skeptical... :-[
