Whilst this is a hugely interesting topic. I think posts such as this only damage the reputation of British batmakers. Because on here you can only allude, rather than outright state - it leads to generalised posts like this. Whereby people guess or presume you're on about a certain brand, when you were actually posting about a whole other company.

Salix this year have put out a '100% made, pressed, handled by Salix Cricket bats here in the UK' sticker. And I don't think that's a surprise, given some of the accusations and assumptions which fly around

Exactly if you have any passion for this and it is not just a I'd like to be bat retailer there is no need to do it but please give it a spine

yeah ^^^ i saw that andrews wife( i think) was stressing how important that this was and pointed out all the stickers etc, they where really pushing the in house concept! "batmaking benchmark"

Agreed also Tom and I should hang my head in shame, that said to clarify the annoyance isnt those that create there own shapes it those that grab stock shapes and list as there own.

My Eric Cantona seagulls moment...

But if you do really want to get the jump on a long term cricket venture and not go bust, get bought out or vanish after a year... read Hans Christian Andersen. Its the best advice i could offer to anyone.

In terms of being able to discuss this topic on this forum, whilst it's unacceptable to starting speculating that company A's bat is made by batmaker B, I don't see any problems with making the point that company A don't make their own bats

...hope that's generalized enough for you Tom

That is like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted....  I think it is time to lock this thread!

You know what, I would love to see this info as a sticky thread. Every forum sponsor or bat maker can voluntarily put this information down (note it's not for forum members to guess or say a mate told me so). Then you wouldn't get these kind of threads cropping up every now and again. If some batmakers don't want to participate then it's up to them but it can't do any harm for the rest of us to be better informed?

Not sure about the direct made by... but if most pre made shapes are designed by the source company it tells you all you need to know.

on a public forum you have to contend with non disclosure agreements...

With a simple form or a quick discussion with the retailer you can find out....

Yes M77 that will work a load better:

Admins Lock it bin it there is nothing new to see here

The problem is heresay...

 If its not a forum sponsor it doesn't really matter.. Does it? That's what an open forum is about isn't it? Using the knowledge from others to make informed decisions.

Heresay and guesses can damage reputations but truths can't hurt anyone

[norbs]
