PS Although I went for an 808. Have to say the Signature grade has to be one of the best value for money grade bat out there!

What is the price of a Signature? Are they available in shorter blades (1 inch or more)?

Thanks to Phil Tebbutt, the Site's  General Manager we were given a chance to choose bats from a special basket (we'd have been there all day if they let us loose on other baskets :) ), which were put aside with our names on, still had to place orders via their website in order to process payments. I chose a beautiful Noir 808 and have to say the grading is very generous. I think we were all eager to get a bat to remember the day, but after the tour and seeing how much care is taken I really wanted a bat !


That's awesome! I want one too!!

They’re basically a 707 so around 130 from retailers and for shorter blade depends on model

You'd have to have a look at the catalogue to see if it's available in smaller blades, I'm not sure. Its essentially a split on grading on a 707 i think (correct me those that were there).
Just looking at pro direct they have Signatures at £135! Should be i  that ball park. Represents amazing value. Try @Six Sixes Cricket !

@Six Sixes Cricket had some crazy looking bats for sale!
If you fancy a Sig at £130, please buy them, as I have been trying to hold myself back!!  :(

I can see some lovely GM colour pads and gloves. Any retailer on here will have them in stock? I am keen on having the black colour.

Thanks for the photos and write ups guys, looks like you all had a fab day.

The fact that we've got one of the top bat manufacturers in the world giving forum members a guided tour speaks volumes about their business and how much pride they have in what they do.

What did the people on the trip think of the new range? Especially the Diamond.

Diamond was my preferred profile before seeing it but was probably my least favourite pickup on the day. That said, there was a bin of original and le and the pick up on a couple of thoose was ace.
