Delayed by the manufacturer until at least June. A potential problem affecting circa 1% of units has been identified and they have decided to carry out a redesign, hence the delay.

Pretty disappointing. But the manufacturer states they would rather get it 100% right now than have to recall/redesign down the line which is fair enough i suppose. I know plenty of people who would probably take the risk on a failure rate of 1%. Terrible timing though as orders are flooding in off the back of the world cup.

These must be the most desired product at the minute!

I know a number of people who are waiting for these.

Still delayed due to a manufacturing fault I am afraid.

No further word on a date of arrival

Lots of delays on these all Summer unfortunately, despite this we have a healthy list of pre-orders.

The suppliers have finally got stock to the UK distributor and it looks as though the delays are finally behind us.

Circa 100 packs of Zing Bails will arrive to us tomorrow, most of these will go straight out to people who have pre-ordered, but if you are interested in a set there will be limited surplus stock. Please get in touch ASAP.

Am I missing something here - I get that bails that light up on impact is a fun idea, but other than that what is the advantage if these when the bails have to come off for a dismissal so tends to be pretty obvious, regardless of whether they light up or not?

They light up when dislodged from the stump groove, ultimately without the aid of a slow motion replay this amounts to little more than a bit of fun and a cool visual aid. But judging by the pre-orders, which have arrived in massive volume, not many people are too fussed.

Move fast as most of this is pre-sold.

I assume they're marketed as 'backyard' because they'll say if they break they shouldn't be used for proper cricket anyways?

I've just seen you retweet the zinger stumps, are they any good? Have they sorted out the breaking issues?
