All this said though, I haven't been this excited by a new cricket brand in a long time. I'm really tempted to order one.

True. its really good to see someone embrace the machine and add value to it by opening up selection features via the web.

I said the same to Streaky. I think it's the typography which feels most off.

It just lacks any natural sophistication that you'd want to align with such a proposition. Most people early on wont give a monkeys its just more of a personal want to see something that would really challenge others at the top of the tree. And its an area of where you can always add a certain amount of control to how you want people to view you.

Honestly the pricing is a bit of a letdown. £225 for the "stock shape bats" with their level 2 willow (minimum 6 grains only) is pretty underwhelming. This becomes £250 for a custom shape. And add on another £70 if you want top shelf willow.

So what benefits am I getting from the CNC process, that warrant the premium over what the other forum sponsors charge for their hand crafted bats?

Ha ha ha, i have offered! But seriously its such a cool idea i guess i just expected more or something really cool. But i'd offer a bit of my time if they wanted it for NOTHING just to put my money where my mouth is.  And that doesnt happen very often  ;)

"super competitive prices." Come on! Really? Super competitive? I sense a tad of hyperbole.

Looks interesting. £165 isn't bad for a degree of customisation.
