Thankfully Cam phantom haven't seen my short (No Swearing Please) sloping shoulder dwarf bat yet. We can still corner the market in unique designs.

That's a great shout. If you put in £50,000 I'll put in nothing
We can split the company 70-30 in my favour and flood the market with niché shapes.

There could be the mong-goose, super long handle and silly small blade.

Then the scoop-paddle. This would be a totally new, based on a paddle bag with a red painted scoop in the back.

If it all goes well we could then make a dynasty-drive, which is a normal shape with 2 big funky scoops out the back to reduce the weight.

This time next year, we'll be millionaires...

Not sure I like gold on white, I think silver might look better.  Oh wait, thats tomorrow's design.

Joking aside,  Japanese didn't do too bad copying stuff better than us. As long as it's a good copy then will people really care?

Agree about the gold, not for me. Like with the conversation about the softs, are that many of these even going to get sold? I bet I don't see many this season

They're just silly names now!

I might buy a CNC machine and start a brand called B4U
Will go for minimal stickers and provide every customer a custom made pro experience. I'm.sure nobody would accuse me of stealing that idea...
Psh, I'm moving to Sussex, changing my name to Tom Keyley and starting a white label bat manufacturing centre... then just wait for the millions to roll in!

Take other brands best bits, flower it up and claim it as your own
They are certainly not gonna make any friends in the industry,I would have thought, but that doesn't seem to bother them
 I admired what Marcus created with affinity and loved the attention to detail and quality he brought to the industry,which I feel ,in turn lifted other companies
Matt at h4l has a similar philosophy in that he wants to create and sell,the highest quality products he can.

It is a huge p##s take to someone else's hard work, copy it, and try and build a brand by doing so.
If that's the way of the world, then that's something I could never do.

Imagine owning a said brand and everything you do was copied you spent hard work design stickers and softs etc just for phantom to take the easy route and copy which to me is just taking the p**s as it seems whatever h4l do they will copy just feel sorry for all the hard work that Matt and Adam put in just to have their softs and now names of bats copied by phantom

Apple do something similar and no one complains.

One thing for sure it would be very expensive and I am pretty sure that it's something Tim has not got time to do that's for sure

If he wants to run a business surely you should be looking at doing these things?

He already runs a very successful business, probably one of the best in the industry. I'm sure he;s more than comfortable woth what he produces and for whom.

Really?
Look at the amount of work he's already doing. I think he's got enough on to more than pay off the mortgage and live comfortably already...

Sod it I am going to admit that I really like the stickers and the softs and don't care if they are a copy of anything else.
