Who makes Woodstock Bats?!?
« on: April 04, 2014, 04:49:09 PM »
Gents...

I've read a few threads recently that seem to make reference that Woodstock bats are made by someone else these days and stickered up.

I have 2 of their bats including a custom made tdf platinum xl which i'm planning on being my main match bat this season. It's opening up nicely on knocking in and being played in gently in nets.

So, without causing offence to anyone or blasphemy on the forum, can someone tell me whether this rumour is true and if so, who is making Woodstock bats these days? Is it someone on this forum??

Just picked up some their 2014 platinum softs too that look really well made and classy.

A few people believe if you don't press the bat and do everything you don't make it

Allegedly he doesn't press them or handle them ... But he does the rest

Up to you to decide if you believe he makes them or not

For me .... He makes them as when he receives them they are not usable cricket bats

Fair enough...

Can't believe this but now I'd like to ask... who is making the Willostix Spitfire Original Bat? Someone in Kent as implicated by another thread on this forum.

Reason for asking: I just bought one on e-bay a few days ago and getting very excited about picking it up from my parents when I return home next week...

Love the profile and those stickers.... It's been used for one season so might even replace my Woodstock... :o

Got a great deal I think... he wanted 140 gbp and got him to accept a bit less.. so well chuffed especially after the great review from Paul at IJC. I believe your mate bought it from there a year ago.

Can you tell me anything about it? Loved the look of it especially after he posted some better pics than the original yellowish ones he posted...

I recommend Paul to him when he was getting a bat. Haven't used the bat but he said it pinged well. Has been used for a couple of games at the end of last season and during winter nets.

Good luck with it mate

The Woodstock I used had the similar thread to Tk made bats and the glue used was similar to TK made bats.

1. Price
2. Price
3. Price

Bought 3x £30 MSR bats last August and I reckon they would match any £150 shop bat in performance. I bought 2lb 6oz bat for indoor cricket, 2lb 8oz that I was going to sell on and heavier 2lb 12oz as a spare for my kit bag. During pre-season nets I have been using 2lb 12oz whilst my Nixon was being refurbed and the awesome noise when the ball hits the middle turns heads !!   

Wrong thread?

I remember my first unstickered bat on ebay having returned to cricket after 23 years.. it was advertised as gd 1, many many grains etc and was a heavy dead plank...

Of course there are dodgy sellers on ebay but then I bought a Kook Blade from a reputable sports company under advice from a team mate.. it was ok for the price and lasted a season and a half....

I then looked for my next bat having admired some of the quality sticks most of the oppo were wielding... From that time on  i did my research and discovered this great forum...

Now I have more bats than I can use in a season.. some more expensive than others but always quality mostly via this forum. Some i sell to team mates, others i trade with forum members but regardless I enjoy it and even though I may lose a little in terms of money which i don't mind.. the joy i get from the search and acquisition is beyond price. e-bay is like the stock market for me and a bit of a gamble but less so if you know what you're looking for and a bit of help from this forum and the internet e.g. IJC bat reviews etc...

Good luck with the MSRs but I'm still looking for 'the one' of many i know out there until my playing days are done.... :)
