Ordering directly from SS
« on: June 08, 2017, 12:32:05 PM »

Anyone has any experience ordering directly from SS? Few things I know is
- Better pricing
- No after sale support
- Do not expect any customizations except weight
- Communication is patchy

- Better pricing => Not really. You will probably get better price from retailers.
- No after sale support => Well SS doesn't offer much of after sales support even to retailers unless the bat is storm damaged or some kind of willow issue.
- Do not expect any customizations except weight => Not really. They do customize and some CBF people have got specific player profiles.
- Communication is patchy => Not really, but make a phone call first and then email them. This should ensure communication is spot on.

better bats though ?!!!!

maybe I got lucky I have had two from a man who goes direct.

one is mental and the other I flogged.

I guess I got what I wanted.

I have had a bat form Jatin nobody can replicate so far in terms of density and by that I mean size

Quotes I have received for Maximus and Reserve from them are way better than any retailer across the world. That's what got me interested along with specific weight I can request.

Their direct pricing is good. But you have to do a bank transfer and shipping cost is high as they use FedEx.
For sure you will get a top quality bat.

The price they offered was good but the online bank transfer never went through.
