Reserve Edition doesn't exist in the UK range.

That cant be right? Dont VKS stock the Reserve Edition? And I remember seeing some stunning ones on advertised by them on here?

I agree, why make two different sets of stickers for the same bat?? Personally I like SS branding rather than TON.


They cannot be branded SS in Europe. Surridge sued them for copyright infringement. So they rebranded to TON.

Legal resons in the UK with SS being Stuart Surridge mate. The TON/SS thing isn't the issue, it's more the (seemingly hundreds of) different ranges, prices and star ratings of the bats not being clear to the consumer.

For example there is the 7 star SS Limited Edition at £150, then the 7 start SS reserve in the same shape and its £300. Both the same shape, 7 stars and G1 willow, where is the sense in that?

VKS are the only retailer who deal directly with the Sareen factory. All other UK retailers go through the UK distributor of TON products, hence the different ranges being available at VKS.

That also explains the lack of TON stamp on the back of their bats! All makes sense now  :-[

Jake - do any of your Ton Heritage models have a full back - or indeed any of the lower end models?

The Heritage and Bounty are both in the typical TON shape, big edges and concaving. The Power Blaster is similar but with a much lower middle. The Max Power Classic is the cheapest model (we sell for £170 with free delivery) that carries a different shape. It is a profile very similar to the GM Six6 as you can see.





The cheapest bat in the same shape as Soulmans is the Gladiator Players around £200.

Is 2lb13.5 a bit heavy for you Bruce?

They do exist and I picked up two on my recent trip to India, a Legacy and an LE. Both a touch under 2.10 and the are amazing. And the price is a steal (pricing in India and UK is a  can of worms that I am not willing to open  ;))

That's a beautiful looking bat, Soulman, have you got a direct shot up the toe? I like the heartwood on this bat, the contrast between it and the sapwood is beautiful. I like how SS are offering a few different profiles this year, adds a bit of flavour to their range!

Add up the delivery and import costs, distribution costs, VAT, and on top of that the customer service, I'm sure the pricing is pretty high compared to India, but quite understandably so!

A nail in the handle a past issue which haunts you in your dreams? Not to worry, retailers here will actually help you sort that out if it happens!

Just a little update in this bat.

Spend a few hours knocking in edges and toe and used it last night at nets against the slower bowlers and it plays very very well. Middle is very long and seems to be a very punchy middle if that makes sense ball. Little checked drive almost killed one of the bowlers.
All in very impressed with my TON kit for this year.

The reserve edition from SS is just phenomenal. Apparently, they are using the players grade willow for this range. Here is what I got my hands on:

Really nice looking bat - where did you get it from and can you tell us how much?  :)
