The Spectre and now the Phantom... Is it a coincidence that the Affinity bats are "scarily" good?!

the issue I have with pics like these is that they look great, but give no real idea of the profile of the bat.

it is all about the branding.

given the quality of Marcus' bats, I think that is a huge shame. I realise that people mainly just like the stickers but even so... please can I have an in focus profile shot!

It's classic marketing! A big trail about a new product from a brand, then teasing photos showing some aspects of the new product, then full photos of the product showing full details. It builds interest in the product before its full release. Typical for many products, just think about car releases, identical.

I know and I totally loathe it.

I am not a fan and it makes me loose interest.

Is Andy (Norbs) affiliated with Affinity? Wasn't Marcus with SAF a few years ago?

no and yes.

Andy ran/runs SAF. Marcus worked with Andy for a while and has now set up Affinity which has been running for 18months or something

Does he actually make the bats as I'm confused by some of the posts in here. The bats look good and the marketing even better!

yes he makes the bats, as far as I am aware, although the designed in England sticker is misleading and suggests they are made overseas
