The Aldred 3 Piece
« on: March 05, 2017, 07:23:24 PM »











Took Advantage of Marks offer on Players grades and a G1. I do like an Aldred bat. Combination of my weight range is where Paul likes making them (2-12+) and a good handle. The gold and silver sovereign feel like they could be used straightaway, the spectre feels like it needs a little bit of mallet and slow netting work to open up. 3 different profiles too with a lower middle on the silver, higher on the spectre and a massive overall shape in the gold.

Marks service is top class, answered all my questions and the postage was very quick, which is always a bonus. Wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.

Those pictures could've been a hell of lot better!!

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.

Glad you like them and thanks for the compliments on our service. You have got 3 nice bats there and I'm sure there are lots of runs in them.

Clearer pics of the grains? ;)

I know I don't quite agree with Paul's view on dead weight being completely irrelevant, but cannot deny that the man makes a top bat. I think his old Supreme shape was probably my favourite of his. Hope you get some good use out of these! :)

seconded. I think if he softened his view on the 2-3oz pick up difference he'd enjoy an excellent following.
I too love the supreme shape. Classic styling.

Much like your mammoth collection Chad, theres a queue of bats to get through!!
