The way I see it, providing a profile shot now would be like having sex on the first date.  What more would you have to look forward to, then?!  ;) :D

what a crock of b s

love at first sight is free.

a lovely, memorable date can cost virtually nothing.

a pic of the profile of a bat will sell you more bats than a load of flashy crap.
men see something and buy it. women need to be teased.
men buy cricket bats.

have you asked Marcus why these bats only say designed in England, or did he make some good friends in India in his trip last year?

Gotta agree with Buzz and others here. There is no way I am going to purchase or travel for a couple of hours for a bat which all I've seen is a few pictures that more or less may as well be from any bat you want. Just don't quite see the marketing tactics behind it  :-[.

I think everyone on this post is contributing to the marketing tactics which in of itself makes it a good campaign. I'd rather hear the rationale behind the offset It's something I think can be very useful for certain batsmen / batting techniques.

End of the day a bat is a bat. No amount of marketing can disguise that. If no pics are provide then people will vote with their feet. Teasers only work for so long before they have the opposite effect and piss the customer off. Reality is often a let down.

From the picture it looks like the spine runs right from the handle and flattens out in the last few inches before the toe. The swell looks low down which makes me wonder where the off set is.

I was just about to put the same link up, softs look very good - although they're a familiar design.......

Actually, it appears that they are basically continuing with Ayrtek's soft range. Check it out here;

It seems pretty decent.

I was impressed with what I saw at the IJC net - the pads were excellent.

An Affinity Ayrtek with matching pads and gloves for £400 is not a bad shout.

Yes Affinity has taken on our softs designs as they are no longer being produced by us as we don't have a brand name within the market due to the adidas link up. After the hard work we put in getting them sampled and produced it would be a shame to see them die a death and collect dust on the shelf.

The quality is upto the usual high spec and Marcus has put his own finish on them by tweaking the colour schemes to give them a new fresh look.

hi Paul, can you please send me some pics of the Phantom? Loving the Kudos you sent me: I've had TAS edge inserts fitted to it and it is even more amazing, mate!
