That's like saying that Einstein was fairly bright!

A great start.

Using youtube can lever your marketing beyond belief.

When I buy another bat, I shall definitely give you a call.

Deary me.

Those are the only words I can think of, the profile looks lovely

[smokem]

Beautiful bats Paul. Nice work mate!

[Aldred Cricket Bats]

thanks for the kind words guys. i will do a video at some point of the making process to put on here.
Just a couple of thoughts for you. Our bats are traditionally made by hand by myself. No replicating lathes (CNC machines) are used like many of the bats now out on the market ours are just just hand made. Thinking along those lines so those of you who cant get to come and pick your willow out, would the use of skype or facetime be of any use or interest to people so they can still have a hand in the selection of their bat.
let me know what you think. I cannot even try and compete with the big boys in this industry but i am really trying to keep the traditional skills alive that we are losing in the same way as james laver is with his bats. We are also now in a better position to make for more labels as we have more storage facilities  too so if anyone is interested please get in touch.
let me know what your thought are guys

Bats look lovely and nice to actually be able to see them. I had a question about why on all your bats the spine end well before the toe? is to do with balance? would there be any harm in extending the spine further?

[Aldred Cricket Bats]

Yes the sharpness of the spine is finished before the toe. There is still a lot of wood in that area though but I feel this helps with the pick up slightly. Also it is in the look of the bat too. I have tried to keep that traditional look within the design and make them different from the much more common Asian shape that seems to have been adopted over the last few years.

Look fantastic bats Paul. The first one sounds like a ripper. Can tell you have played a bit as well as you can actually knock the ball up.

Great stuff. I'm going to watch the others when I get back from the pub. Steak is waiting !!

[Aldred Cricket Bats]

Pity I couldn't hit it when I was playing. I did seem to find the middle of the a lot though when I was bowling

[Bulldog Cricket]

Haha nice one. Well there you go you know a good middle when you see one. Even if you do have to fetch it from the boundary !!

[Aldred Cricket Bats]

Thankfully the crowd threw it back for me.
