Good points - Very well priced. My daughters bat was £62 I think. Mine was around £140. Both bats tap up well though I've only had a quick go as it's not Christmas yet. They arrived before Christmas, which was the only non-negotiable. My bat feels good and reminds me of a Chase FLC pick up. They were bought through The Cricket Boutique and Mark was great to deal with, including providing pictures of clefts to choose from. They came with the new stickers and toe guards applied.
Areas for Improvement - my daughters bat has a size 5 sticker on the handle when it's a size 4. I have had bats that have had a smoother finish.
Overall, fantastic value for money, great service and at least 2 people in my house will be happy on Christmas Day.
