Finally received my Affinity Cricket Bat today and I must say I am hugely impressed. Firstly let's talk about the bat, it's stickered up as an Ayrtek but it's hybrid between the Carbine and Arytek. It's got fourteen straightish grains, relatively evenly spaced and a bit of heartwood on the inside edge of the bat (my only regret, as I am a RH, but I am just being picky). Was told its about 2lb 11oz fully dressed but it picks up like 2lb 8oz. Haven't had a chance to try it out as yet but it pings off the mallet like a dream.
The only thing more impressive about my Ayrtek bat is the customer service I received from Marcus. Contacted him regarding purchasing one of his bats, and after a couple of emails he suggested custom making a bat for me. After week or so, he had a finished product for me. While I won't divulge the details of our transaction, I will say this, Marcus has gone beyond the boundaries of what a supplier will do for a customer.
I WILL definitely be a making a few more purchases in the future.
