Custom special made in front of the customer
« on: April 15, 2016, 06:00:36 PM »
Just thought I'd stick a couple of pics up of a custom from rob pack for one of my team mates. We went up last Wednesday, spent an hour or so going through made up sticks and 2 just weren't perfect so rob took him to the bat cave and produced not one.. But two made live so it's exactly right.. Can't really top that 🙈👍👌

Weight is 2.9

Always loved robs work as had 3-4 off him

May go for another soon but he doesn't have many long blades in usually

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Rob just continues to quietly churn out quality, his stock is growing all the time.

I got a custom from him a few years back- the review is still on here I think, and it was the lightest, pingiest thing going- something attested to by a minor counties player.

I then asked around on twitter for bats last year and the head of my Student's Union popped up (who happens to be an ex-pro) and recommended Rob straight up. It's a small world sometimes!

My current RPC is a stunning bit of willow to say the least.

Lovely looking bat and at an excellent price. I've never had a Robert Pack bat but I'm now very tempted  :o

Go for it mate, you won't be disappointed. Rob Pack is one of best bat makers in England.

Absolutely is. I'd have his RPC softs too if I could afford them, they are stunning and a long way from his earlier efforts. Think Salix.

Wouldn't go anywhere else now I visited Rob last month and he couldn't do enough for me, what a great setup he has down there. All the lads are top notch. I was with rob nearly two hours faffing over what I wanted and it didn't bother him in the slightest I don't care if I have to make the 400 mile round trip each time well worth it

They are great. I have an RPC great bats. Huge performance! I have tiny hands and the handles are normal to large or I'd use mine all the time. Rob is really helpfully and a crazy genius when it comes to bats. Great buying experience!
