Anyone seen this site before? Used one of their bats or been to their factory?

Just curious really as I'd never heard of or come across one and yet their website suggests they're fairly established. It's certainly better than the Solitaire and Warsop sites in my opinion.

i just got a vantage bat. it's beautifuly finished and the spec is just what i asked for. havent finished knocking it in yet so can't fully comment on performance but early signs are very very very good.

think they have been around for a while, as had heard the name before. though think they have only just got a website and ventured into soft goods.

first time ive got a bat from smaller company rather than off the shelf and they were pretty easy to deal with.

WOW THEIR STUFF LOOKS GOOD! Newbery like. Clean and simple, bats ooze class. And prices arent ridiculous (ian!)

yeah agree bats look very nice, the soft goods market is flooded with big, medium and small brands as well as spare bedroom stockists bringing kit it from abroad though i think.

All these soft goods are similar looking with the odd colour change here and there but wont set them apart from anyone else in the market. hence the newbery like comment above.

I think ian mistyped it musama as it reads as intending to say aren't ridiculous...its late so I'm sure we can let him off. Prices are in line with every other small/medium bat maker id say

musama91 · « **Reply #6 on:** December 04, 2009, 01:05:01 AM »

maybe prices will set them apart - �80 for test match quality softs - Thats even cheaper than Itias and I thought they would never, EVER be beaten on money.

They will probs sell loads locally though - like Peak Sports and M&H

yeh they have to have a USP to gain a customer base i suppose, if they rely on the local market the within one season they will have flooded it and will need to look further afield for new customers as its unlikely people will replace pads/gloves/bats after a years use. If they are of any quality in the first place they should last a while longer you would have thought.

ive got the Lithium, red stickered bat. but its a long blade as im lazy and can't be bothered to bend over and tap the bat on the floor. i like the softs. as musama says clean and simple, like many others but thats probably cos thats the trend i guess. good stuff all-round.

Stuff looks quality, don't like ambi pads mind.

musama91 · « **Reply #10 on:** December 04, 2009, 02:57:58 PM »

i was also going to write about the ambi pads, but I suppose its good business sense because they are a small company and wiould be able to cater for both austerities by using one double winged design.

Its not as bad as hunt a couple of years ago, where they had ambi gloves in which the thumb protection was detachable - brilliant thinking but still awful!
