So after a tonne of research, a heap of help from you guys, a stack of emailing to different brands and stores, a crack in the blade while pressing my original choice and the eventual wait for it to be shipped to me, I've finally received my new bat.

Went with Vantage who were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, and even though the waiting was longer than I expected or wanted, I feel I've ended up with a cracker bat.

Been stickered up with the new Vantage stickers (maybe the first one out in the wild) and I have to say these are a huge improvement from the old style. Look much classier and simpler, I really like them.

Model: Vantage Lithium
Weight: 2.8 stickered and with a grip. Haven't weighed it yet to see how accurate that is, but it picks up light
8 grains

Those stickers are perfect, takes the Vantage image to a new level I think, very impressed!

Nice looking bat.
I really like the new stickers as well. Huge improvement on the previous versions. Quite classy looking.

Looks a good stick mate. Is there any concaving on that model? Any chance of a picture from the toe up?

Ps. Prefer the new stickers too.

Congratulations, mate - nice purchase there.

The new stickers really are the bees' knees for me - can't wait to get the new ones on our shelves...

Yes it does have some concaving.

Love the new 'furniture' and it looks a big bat for the weight.

Glad you like the bat Jake, apologies for the delay - but after sanding the bat down we found a small crack in the edge, so we had to start again with a new cleft. So yes, I believe your bat is the first out there in the 'wild' with these new stickers and I'm glad they've been received well. There should hopefully (if all goes well), be a launch of the new products within the very near future...

There was only one cleft we had to replace, there was a pressing crack on the edge which we found when we were sanding it down.

I thought the lithium range didn't have any concaving?
