Leo, I have to say the stickers look similar to the way you've modified your Redback ones one your bat

[Howzat]

I do like the '404 page not found' idea!!

And so my custom bat is one of the originals or prototypes???

Ha yeah I thought it was pretty funky but hopefully all the pages will be done soon!
Hmm well your "custom bats" bat is a "custom bats bat" nothing to do with Instinct. That bat is not related at all...
You'll just have to buy an authentic one eh!? 

You thinking about doing any softs Leo? Or is it just bats for the time being?

Not sure really but will probably stick to just bats initially

Looks good, plus you are promising to make a better bat than anyone else on the planet, I like that confidence.

Thanks Mike, not sure where I have said that though, maybe some good copywriting has given you that impression?

Have any prices in mind for your bats?

[GJ]

Is it just you making the bats or are there others involved too?

"Unrivalled Performance", don't worry as I posted elsewhere nearly every brand makes a comment like this so you are in good company and as the snow is starting to melt today after 3 more inches last night hope to be posting tools to you before the end of the week.

Yeah I do like the minimal sticker approach.

Just me

Ahh I see, I think the copywriter got a bit carried away. Glad to hear the snow is melting heard its been quite bad around there.

Not entirely sure Choppy, will be reasonable, maybe I could sell a couple at cost price to start with to get the name out there and a couple of reviews

[Howzat]

Anyone got any ideas for the site or any constructive criticism?

Get a sample made and pictures uploaded onto the site. I think that would be good. I understand that you dont have to tools yet, but this would be good.

Yeah sure will do, when my tools arrive I'll be taking pics of my first bat for sure!

[GJ]

So do you have any experience of making bats?
Been to watch any being made/learn some useful tips?

Nope as said at the start of the topic I have never made a bat, have just discussed it with Bill and now got tools on the way from Talisman.

[Talisman]

Leo, I'll ring you later tonight.

[Howzat]

Ok sure

Well its going well so far Search Engine Wise...
In a google.co.uk search for "Handcrafted cricket bat" Instinct was found on Page #3, Position #4   
Similar result for "Handmade cricket bat" aswell
Not bad for only being a few days old! If any kind soul will link to http://instinctcricket.co.uk on their site that would be great

[GJ]

Just wondered if there was any more progress made Leo? Started making yet?
