No, contact one of the sponsors on here and you'll get plenty of bang for your buck with enough change to pay for your teas and beer money for some of the season to boot!

Value is always subjective. Not sure many on here have acquired one but never heard anyone come away from Uzi sports and be unhappy about their purchase(s)

no mate, Hawk are not, some may same I am biased towards B&S and that i have been told to say this, but i am not, and genuinely, I would highly highly consider one of them, they offer some stunning bats in lower grades, and the one thing that is nigh on guaranteed is performance. plus Gary is a top bloke. If you dont like the look of B&S then I would highly consider someone like Ryan Kelsall, or Dom Shilliabeer (silly shilly) as they both make great bats as does John at Red ink so im told.

Pick the nearest 2 to you, go and visit both. V Sports is worth a visit too.

I wouldn't spend £300.00 on a bat if I batted up the order.  Price is bats is ridiculous IMO. 

Ive bought three bats this year, a net bat and two Grade 1 bats for matches.  I had a look at a few of the forum sponsors and loved the look of the Aldred bats.

I was netting at New Road  and a few lads had Vanquish bats which I had never heard of but the bats looked great so I decided to get in touch with them and they sorted me out with some gorgeous looking bats! used two of them and they are exceptional.  Ive heard they are basically Spartan bats but have no idea if this is true.

Have a look at them mate or get in touch with a few forum sponsors they do some great deals. I would steer clear of ebay!

Since purchasing my bats I have seen a few lads from the West Indies using them so they cant be too bad!

Hate to self promote our stuff but we can make you what you want.

I wouldn't spend that much the butterfly bats are decent and at £125 your getting a bargain .

We make all our own bats and vary in price from the butterfly at £125 to £400 for the much sought after super light clefts. There are some great company's and individual makers on here if you need advice about our bats or any other I'm willing to help you mate I have owned most of the stuff of here .
