Lovely stuff mate, i'm glad you enjoyed your day. It was nice for me to be able to visit a factory without any pressure. What i mean is we were looking for just the one bat to suit you, whereas normally when i go i have to find dozens of belters!
Apologies again for the lack of SS/TON bats, at least we found you a nice bat eventually.
This is the result of the post i made recently here:
http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=23323.0Basically we are looking to offer the following unique experience:
Purchase any bat from the range, doesn't have to be high end, from either Kookaburra, SS or Hunts from us, and pay our (competitive) prices.
For a small additional fee (approx £10-£15) you can book an appointment to accompany us to the warehouse/factory of Kook, SS or Hunts and spend the day hand picking the stick that is exactly right for you. Of course if something else takes your fancy while you are there, you can take that too, or you can upgrade/downgrade in terms of model/price on the fly too. The payment issues that arise due to this can be sorted afterwards back at our place, no sweat.
You can buy any softs you want from us and pick them on the day too.
You are welcome to come to us first and we will drive you the venue as Chris did, or you can meet us there, up to you. Feel free to have a net at the shop with your new gear afterwards too.
As a forum offer, any guinea pigs like Chris who are looking to give this a try in the near future will get their bat knocked in for free if required, we will also waive the additional fee to book the appointment.
I really need a Kookaburra customer, as i know that SS and Hunts will be plain sailing, aside from being a bit of a jumble sale as we experienced today. But i need to iron out any kinks with regard to doing this at Kookaburra before we look to take this to the wider market.
So if anyone is in the market for a new Kookaburra bat, can get themselves to Peterborough and would like to experience the same process that retailers and cricket pros do when handpicking their Kook equipment, please drop me a pm.
This is an experience no other retailer can offer you currently.
