Hello guys,
Just wondered if any of you have heard much about S3 Cricket from Lincolnshire? I'm not too sure about the background behind the company, but have picked up one of their sticks - and borrowing another - ahead of the new season. This is my first post on here - but have been a keen observer for a while - and just thought I would add a quick review.
Key Details
Weight: 2lb 08oz
Size: Short Handle
Grade: Two (think they do 1-3)
Shape: Central sweet spot, with slight bow and equal WD
I have only used the borrowed one so far (orange grip), so if I'm totally honest that is slightly lighter than the one on the left, so my review may not be totally accurate.
However, so far the signs are good. The borrowed bat pings really well and, after 4-5 net sessions, is starting to feel better and better. The pick up is nice, but then again I would expect it to be when it's lighter than what I normally go for. The white gripped bat is my first new one for over three years, so I'm looking forward to preparing that properly and using it in the nets. Think I may use the other one for the first few games to see how it goes.
In case you were wondering, the white gripped one is a couple of ounces heavier, so hopefully it will have a bit more oomph in it... the bow is slightly more exaggerated, too.
While the early signs are promising, I will be able to provide better feedback once I have used them both in a game. But, the main reason for me buying S3 was to keep my custom local. Their service was excellent, even for someone who knows as little about bats as me (even less how to use them). If you want to look at their website it's
www.s3cricket.co.uk and I think they are on Twitter and Facebook too.
I know this isn't a full review, but if you have any questions about my two bats then i'll try to answer, just not sure what else to say haha.

PS: How do I upload pictures? Do I have to use Instagram or something like that? Cheers
