Its just on a couple of posts (on Facebook). He has changed it very slightly after we had a chat. Here is what he put:

ALL OUR BATS ARE 100% ENGLISH WILLOW ,100% HANDMADE,100% PERFORMANCE ORIENTED and 100% QUALITY Guranteed
All the Cricket Bats I Post here are hand crafted and pressed to perfection so we can GUARANTEE that what you will receive will be of the best possible quality at the best price possible.

This is just basically text taken off our website which is supposedly a coincidence as he has never been on our site.

Its not a massive issue its just more a matter of principal.

I got a really great RNS LARSON from www.crickstore.com
the guy there called Yogesh was very very helpful and the bat arrived in two days. Unfortunately the bat was to heavy for me, but it had a fantastic middle

Yogest rang me from India four times to make sure I was happy before he sent the bat. I was look at a cheap BDM on their website which could be a future net bat

I got a bargain of a deal for one of these bats. One of my mates bought it and didn't feel any connection so he sold me for half of what he paid. It feels great and middle is very good. I have oiled it twice and start to knock and within 15 minutes, it started to respond.

Crickstore chaps are nice guys. Yogesh operates from India while Aniket operates from San Diego. Have dealt with both of them and very nice chaps.

My guess is that these guys picked up these bats from RNS factory in person. Most of the times RNS folks end up with bait & switch leaving the end user pretty pissed off.

I have got one bat myself and I have got a couple for my mates in the past. The bats are nice. The only problem is that they absorb moisture too quickly since the wood is very dry. I suggest buying at least a couple of oz lighter bat than what you need since after oiling, applying a scuff sheet (and it absorbing moisture naturally), it will end up being heavier than it arrives. it is true that a lot of Indian pros (Kohli, Jadeja, Ashwin, Dhoni, Pandeya etc.) use his bats and past pros were also quite fond of their bats.

What has been said about their customer service is true - Harjeet isn't very keen on following up. They sell bulk volumes everyday and they don't have enough time for individual customer. Having said that, the price for which they sell their bats is almost unbeatable for the quality.

I received my first RNS bat about 3 weeks ago and what a bat.
I looked on their Facebook and contacted the guy and he offered me one that was already advertised on Facebook.
As it was cheap I couldn't say no and ordered it and received in UK in a week.
Amazing bat pings very good ball hits the ceiling almost every time.
Can't wait to play with it and smash few runs.

Bumping this up!

Has anyone else delved into the RNS Facebook bats recently? Some of the recent profiles/prices have certainly made it tempting... general consensus seems they are over dried with occasional reports of horrible middles/cracking toes...

I emailed him re an Ultra profile bat over the last day or two. He got backto me witbin a few hours each time but when i didnt respond to his email immediately, he has banned me from his FB page. Lol

he definitely seems an interesting bloke...i questioned him about whether the bats were seconds and about the claims they were over dried to achieve the weights/profiles and his reply was pretty much:

"All first bats some have purchased 20 only buy if ur confident see how fast they sell"

mo_town · « **Reply #24 on:** January 02, 2018, 11:05:08 AM »

There definitely seems to be a big demand looking at the bidding on the bats...the 'Dhoni' profile looks alright, although he doesnt mention the weight.

cesare_in · « **Reply #25 on:** January 02, 2018, 12:26:55 PM »

He's rude & uncouth. Talks as though he's doing us poor mortals a favour

mo_town · « **Reply #26 on:** January 02, 2018, 12:50:27 PM »

True...I follow the bids regularly and the demand is crazy! I guess most are from Aus and USA.

When it comes to the brand, RNS Larsons have been known to make really good bats since years. Not sure if the quality is still the same. The bats do look nice. I might get myself one of those Ultra profile bats. Any views on how practical they are? If I not mistaken, that bat shape is based on one of the L&W bats...think it was called Ultra too.

KW9221 · « **Reply #27 on:** January 02, 2018, 03:39:58 PM »

I must agree with @mo_town! Ultra shape does look nice and all but they are very dry bats. I bought one in 2017 and wasn�t very impressed with the quality of their bats.

delazy · « **Reply #28 on:** January 03, 2018, 12:09:11 PM »

they've thrown up a few apparently player profiles the past day or so...

Tendulkar /AB de Villiers / Dhoni

mo_town · « **Reply #29 on:** January 03, 2018, 12:21:19 PM »

Yep...given the fact that they do make bats for international players it could be accurate, but I wonder if they are allowed to mention the names of the players. Surely the brands sponsoring the players would take offence, isnt it?
