Not Necessarily , could be made in India by one of the countless bat makers and stickered up by DF as is the case with most bats these days

Would love to see a few of these in the flesh, I was a massive DF fan as teenager.

Looking at the prices of the new models, hope they are very good (wherever they are made).

To clear things up, all of the new bats DF are selling are being made in Worcester, by DF.

I do however agree that the prices are a bit far-fetched, £440 for a G1 is simply too much

Correct that said you have always been able to get made the bat you wanted  at  D F  in Worcester.

I've got one of the Slazenger V12s made by DF and it is a brilliant stick. Shame there prices are so high

My very first bat was a DF Extra Cover, the white bat that anyone in their 40s will remember. Bit too heavy for me at age 12 tbh, but it could destroy a half volley. Great memories. I always wanted a Magnum, but never actually had one.

My first serious bat was a harrow-sized Duncan Fearnley 'Colt' and the Duncan Fearnley Magnum was always the bat I lusted after, from a distance. Funnily enough, once I actually had enough money to get a new bat I picked one up and didn't like the shape at all and ended up buying a G & M Maestro.

I had a DF 405 size 5 or 6, no chance I'd pay 440 for another though

Also had a colt, my first bat, and also craved a magnum. A mate had a very heavy attack, way too heavy for a 12 year old.

I do have a pair of DF green double finger gloves, purely for show. Safe to say that gloves have improved in 30 years...!
