I do like the look of the V5 and the V600 you picked the most defiantely think you picked the Nicest bat out of the lot.
Still not convinced on the softs as i've preordered the works from kookaburra as their range looks a lot better just my opinion though.
little surprised they have gone down the 2 strap route on their top of the range batting pads as well.

Catalogue states made in England. Slaz staff confirmed this at the trade shows too.

The V6 was Indian made in 2013.

Not a fan of their normal range, looks ugly to be honest. I their retro range looks very classy.

I think their pads look like Puma ones from last year nothing special really, and gloves are still not as nice as some of their past ones and not keen on the black pittards either, think the other big guns have done a lot better with their ranges ie the Bubble range from Kook looks stellar in comparision to the Slaz offering.

Overall the range looks alright, not a fan of the pads though. Has anyone used the V1200 bat?

A lad at my club is sponsored by Slazenger he had 2 v500 bats and 2 v1200 and preferred the v500 everytime think he may have netted once with a v1200 but wasn't blown away by it

I think it will be available online as well as on their big stores. The nearest one to us is in Taunton.
