Fantastic review pete! Looks a cracking stick! They've put their prices up this year by 20 quid or so, however that shouldn't stop the average cricketer from buying one! Especially if they're that good!

maybe one about a(n) asian/big brand/lower grade/price bat that would offer an interesting comparison to the 'handmade' option?
lovely bat - and i like the knocking-in tip :)

Cheers guys. Its fun to be in a position where I have loads to review!
And good idea about maybe doing Asian or big brand review - have an AS V3, an awesome SS Gold Edition, or a CA I could review!

Pete guess your lucky as I've owned 4 warsops and they were average at best, id certainly never ever buy another under any circumstances.

Thanks Tumo

As soon as I saw that Venom Pro sitting there, then it wasn't a tough choice!

4 warsops only average? I guess I must of been lucky.
The ones I have tested have all been the Venom Pros, which seemed a little nicer than the other models. Although there seemed quite a number of decent bats in the shop chap!
What warsops did you have?

I had a Venom Pro and the rest were Platinum's, and average is my conservative opinion.

Ok - haven't used the Platimum, but the ones I went through were mainly Plats and they felt ok - but cant really comment on how they were to use!
Maybe you got an average Venom Pro? Although at over £200 a piece, there shouldn't really be any average ones - they should all be very decent!

2 out of 3 of the Venoms I've used have been excellent. Will be using the 3rd one this Summer so will let you know how that one is later.

Pics of a couple of the platinum's i had, they looked OK as in willow quality and finish but pick up and performance below average if I'm truthful. Actually the last two pics im not sure that was one of my bats as the pics were not taking by me although possibly i bought it from a seller. Will have pics of the Venom around.

Yes i think it was bud, it was possibly the better one although not up to my expectations or standards so sold it on very very quickly.

So I should be even happier with mine then!

But is it ann exception, as its onyl one Venomm Pro that you were not happy with? And the Plats are slightly different anyway.
Or is it cos different bats suit different people?

Pics of the Venom, its not the case that different bats suit different people as i rate my bats on pick up balance and most import Performance. In my opinion based on 4 bats I've found them to be the most over rated company I've used and I've used almost everyone apart from the odd newer company.
