A custom made bat experience
« on: March 04, 2014, 02:14:06 PM »
People,

Just having a look around to see firstly who offers the custom made experience (where you can go and visit the batmaker) and also the cost.

I have noticed that Millichamp and Hall now charge £425!!

Forum sponsors do you offer this and at what cost?

Whoever offers - take Saunders with you. If you distract them, he's the right height to spirit away some gear that's displayed below counter height!

RPC still offers custom experience. Visit can be arranged at customers discretion. Bespoke bats can also be ordered online now as well as most other Blueroom / RPC gears.

Hawk don't do this mate. Delt with them before, you select your cleft and then they make the shape and you collect a week later

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

List the ones who do it

H4L
Rob pack
Salix
Aldred
Etc etc

Then list out price

No point paying significantly more for the same product. All will be top bats, all will be to your specs, looks etc etc

I know this is a very old topic now,  but are there any batmakers who offer this kind of deal in the north/Midlands? I'm based in Sheffield
