Refreshing to see some profits will be put into community programmes, too.

I used the super premium wheelie bag a few season ago. It is huge and has a lot of useful pockets but fell to bits inside one season

I think they've mispriced the MMi3's TBH, but they're also the hardest to sell so perhaps just keen to get rid!

The stock being sold is the rest of the equipment from the 2014 season, some bargains to be had.

Exact same, the fibreglass type material in the top section split after half a season

The same thing happened to mine. Frustrating as a partially see-through top always seemed a pointless feature of the bag in the first place.

I did see a link on ebay for a Cor3 Prime saying it was Kashmir willow.

For 36quid I'm tempted by a Cor3 if it's grade 4 English Willow but not if it's EW from Kashmir.

CoR3 Prime is Kashmir if it's Junior. English Willow if senior.

£12 delivery for your £36 Mmi though... and that's if they've got the website working properly by now, tried to buy one a while back and nothing ever happened.

I've purchased two of the MM13s for £36 each, order placed and money taken from my card on Wednesday so will keep you posted with progress. Very excited to use them in the nets. Do they have any unusual knocking in procedures at all or anything I should know? Never used one before!
