Who makes a better bat?? I really like the Krakatoa profile..

Is there a big difference in their soft goods?

i prefer newbery from the very few bats i have picked up

 Some Salix's are made in india, then finished in England.

Do you know where the Grade One Fera is made??

[Apple]

I dont, I'm sure there will be someone hear he will.

i think their softs are really similar, i can hardly choose between.

Prefer Salix softs for quality of design and finish. Their stickers are better too.

Bats haven't really tried many Salix's but on the shelf there seems to be little between them.

wouldnt have said much difference between the two at all, personal preference.  i prefer the salix softs but with a newbery bat.  the only salix bats made in india are the new junior kashmir range.  the rest are still all made in england.

[SillyShilly]

Really?? I thought the majority were still made in India and he finished them in England.

[slogger02]

i was told they were all completely handmade in engalnd except for the new kashmir ones but i was probably told some porkies or the information was lost in translation between them and my thick skull.

anyone here work at Salix or have connections at Salix?? Can anyone get a deal on Salix??

[Apple]

I no quite a few people sponsored by them they all rave about the gear.

Salix softs are the best. I bought a pair of Pod 1 Grade 1 Batting gloves last season and they are the best I have ever had. The Pod pads are also quality.

I like the finish on their bats but not much to choose between the profiles. Hence will go with Newbery for the bats.

I have heard a lot of people say that a Performance grade bat from Salix is as good as any G1 bat from any other bat maker.

In a  nut shell - Salix is like the Rolls Royce of bats and Newbery like a Mercedes AMG63 or a Bentley.

I prefer the shape of salixs, and they tend to have a better finish from what ive seen.
