My New Bat... Started Early!!!
« on: October 06, 2013, 01:21:45 PM »
Not been on here for a while

Ordered a new bat for next season, decided to order it early so that I can knock it in and prepare it properly etc. Already got a bat from this company but I am going to use that in nets as I used it last season and its done me well so far.

This bat is a 2lb 9oz, slight heartwood to the edge, plenty of grains and feels like a real beauty! picks up really well!!

Just interested to hear your thoughts on the bat really? Paid £155.00 for it.







sorry the pics are a bit rubbish my phone isn't the best!

What made you chose this brand over one of the better known brands?

Any background on them?

Ive used their bats before and our club pro used a few.

Very good company and easy to deal with. I like their ethos and didnt fancy paying excessive prices charged by the bigger brands

I also think this bit of wood is amazing for the price. Its easily as good as some of the bats ive seen for £100 more!!

Superb profile - wonder who makes them, not sure if I've seen that profile before?

I think MattW would have something to say about that after building the reputation of Vantage.

Lovely bat. Hope all if well with the company now - though I have only heard things here.

Ginge - this is a Vanquish?

I think that is more due to the similarity of the V logo

The edges of my bat take a beating, the middle is near enough new.

do you think? I think the branding is quite different!

Honestly lads I cant fault their service what so ever. Ive heard good things about them and seen a few pro's using their gear.

Obviously they aren't a big brand but that's what I look for when purchasing kit.

Heard? What happened to your last Vanquish? You've only had it a few weeks.

Which pros? Any chance you are involved in said brand? Does look like a good stick, but I personally think that the branding is too close to Vantage.

its a good price and looks to have nice grains so he probably bought it based on his old one being good .......... doesnt mean he has connections to vanquish!
