I can always remove them if you prefer?

We bought out a green range as not everyone can rock a pink bat.

The orange bats are a limited run and a very different shape.

Toying with a very limited edition grade 1 called the Lion King, with gold/yellow and white/silver graphics. Hopefully Disney won't sue us ;)

They are indeed.

Pressed beautifully though, the ball pings off to all parts of the ground. I use one (with pink stickers applied) in midweek games as they are the lighter bats in our range (as a general trend, we do have some heavier ones, most are 2'8/2'9) I find them ideal for fast bat speed in T20 cricket

The original demo of the Lion Pride was the best bat in the demo range we have for people to try in the bowling machine. We loaned it to a team-mate who's nickname is 'the bat-breaker' for the weekend whilst his was being repaired. He hit 3 massive sixes with ease and then snapped it in half. It had faced thousands of bowling machine deliveries as well, so is not a reflection on the reliability of our bats.

very nice looking bats mate, i think with a re-design of the stickers etc you could really have a winning brand. You should look to name the bats after your brand and then match them with the gloves and pads mate. Some classy looking stickers and i reckon you will be onto a winner

Lion Custard would be a great name too.

Lovely looking sticks.  I like the stickers too, unfussy and different.  They made in the UK?

Enjoying the name suggestions, a new model will be something for next year, all suggestions welcome.

They are not all UK made, we are moving to a UK bat-maker at the moment, some Lion bats still in stock are Asian made.

We are not moving supplier because of inferior quality products though, we are moving as it is easier to deal with someone here in the UK, and current conditions mean UK bat making is not too restrictive in terms of price.

My Lion Roar is not UK made, she's an absolute flyer. Got 35 retired (stupid rule) last night off 3 and a bit overs.

The Lion Roar, Pride and Flame are the same willow, but 3 different shapes. There isn't much between the Roar and Pride except the Roar is generally bigger and a bit heavier. The Flame has far less concaving and a higher middle, but weights start at 2'12.

We have a few Lion Pro's which are grade 1. They are an experimental run to see how a more expensive model would fare, they have been pretty popular.
