They are just up the road from me.  I go to the shop fairly regularly to pick up bits and bobs.  There are loads of the bats around the Hertfordshire League.  Haven't seen many bad ones to be fair.  They do make their bats, and do a fair amount of repair work as well.  You can get them custom, and the quality of the ones I have seen on site are very good.  Quite like the softs too.

Captain of our uni side sweared by choice bats - good bits of willow when they were in one piece, but they fell apart like it was going out of fashion - perhaps a poor pressing coupled by a lack of knocking in?

I have a catalogue somewhere from this season.  I'll dig it out and post some prices for you.  I think their G1s start at around £160

the gear is very nice, but at the same time too expensive. There is not the technology that you would expect for £50. Same with Duncan Fearnley -top of the range £50 gloves are made from flipping calf leather. i mean wtf.
