It's an excellent factory that is spacious, well planned and a pleasure to visit.

The offices inside are very plush and there is even a room dedicated to many of the classic bats made by the likes of Gray-Nicolls, GM, Slazenger and Kookaburra. It's like a shrine to the bats from the last 25 years!

The factory looks amazing. Well organised, lots of space and all relatively new too. A very impressive setup!

A new delivery of bats came in from Sareens last Friday including the Gladiator, Gold Edition, Silver Edition, Professional and Rampage models. These all include a good selection of bats in the Long Blade version which are always popular.

Please feel free to PM me for further details and specific requests.

Where does the Rampage fit into the range - is it a lower grade model?

Also Mr VKS, which do you really prefer - the Ton branding or the SS branding?

Yes the Rampage is where the range starts off and is priced at £99.99. Its actually a popular model for us and sells well.

Honestly speaking it would have been good to have been able to continue with the SS branding, but the Ton name is so well known that it's been a surprisingly smooth transition and the brand is just as strong.

We have done some new things with the branding of the new softs so watch this space ......

That's pretty interesting.

I've been tempted to do a parody of SS cricket combined with the German SS but can never think of a REALLY funny way of combining them. One day...

Yes still in meerut. If you want a custom made one, just PM me and I can organise one for you.
Did you visit any other suppliers in Meerut?
