My new python cricket bat
« on: July 26, 2013, 09:29:35 PM »

Alright Lads,
As I posted in the what you wanted for 2014 thread, some of you may of read that I quite fancied a new bat from a very fresh company called "Python". I have been stalking their Facebook and Twitter page for quite a while, scouring at the pictures of the lovely clefts the company had picked up and would be getting made into bats. I instantly fell in love with one of the clefts; which led me to instantly message python and ask for further details on the bat which in the end I knew I would purchase ;)!
I requested my weight and I keenly sent over a payment of £190 to secure the lovely cleft which I was assured would make a beautiful bat. The fella at Python was very very helpful and answered whatever question I had about the bat - which I am led to believe can be quite annoying due to me being like a child at Christmas :D > however he put up with me very well!!!
The £190 payment was an introductory offer with me being one of the very first people to purchase a Python cricket bat..... And I can tell you if the bat is anywhere as good as the service I will be very happy; and I can assure you it won't be my last purchase from the fresh new brand. The weight I went with was 2'8/2'9 with very little concaving as I quite fancied a bat in a similar shape to my Gray Nicolls Nitro - which was a very powerful bat!  I have been kept up to date through out the process with pictures and every detail about my bat, I'm sure many of you will know thy is very rewarding especially when it's your first time using the company! Overall I'm very impressed with the way Python Cricket went about things and I'm very positive about the bat I am anticipating in the post. Ill post some pics I got sent and ill also update the thread when the bat arrives with an in depth review
Cheers
Tony

Give Python Cricket a message on Facebook as I did and I'm sure they'd be able to sort you something out ;)

I love how excited I can get just looking at some clefts. Any none cricket kit geeks just don't get it.

Looks a good stick tho. I've been following on twitter also and they seem decent. Interesting to know how it goes when you get it.

Looks a top stick Tony, the profile reminds me of the ST shape, thick edges with a low and extended middle with a little concaving. Hope it goes well for you! :)
