Aldred bats
« on: December 02, 2018, 03:20:38 PM »
Not been on here since the end of the season but thought id share an update. Just had my match bat refurbed by Ayrtek, amazing job by the way. But Tom highlighted my bat wasnt the described size it was sold to me as a SH but is a SSH/ very close to a harrow. When it arrived it came with a net bat that was noticeably longer but i never thought to check and turns out that is a normal sh and the match bat is a good few cm shorter. I really like the bat so not going to complain to Paul or try for a refund over it but just when paying for a SH bat at SH prices youd expect a SH bat. Kind of irritating i basically overpaid £100 for a harrow, has anyone had anything similar? This was in the middle of last season and have used it since so cant return it even if i wanted to.

Not had a similar problem, it doesn’t matter if it used. If they are decent people it was probably just a mistake, if you get in touch and explain they will probably reimburse you. There’s only one way to find out if they will. Good luck anyways

Erm, you used the bat and liked it enough to have it refurbed?

Yeah its actually a gun. I didnt even notice it was a harrow until Tom told me it wasnt the right length. Not fussed just thought it was amusing.

Happy to help with the kit and refurb and sorry to have pointed it out and ruined your perception of it 🤦‍♂️

Fairly embarrassing mistake to make for someone who spends half his life on YouTube having a go at Asian batmakers for poor quality output

It perhaps goes to show how perception can influence your opinion on a bat.  If you don't know it is a junior sized bat then it isn't in your head.  I have never got along with short blade, long handle bats, but then picked one up at a factory at the end of the season without knowing it was a short blade and it felt great.

More likely there are the same 5 people posting 'gun, gun, gun' and 'pingtastic Aldo'

I think what he trying to say is that he paid more for a harrow bat instead getting SH

Shame as I got bored on his facebook page group and left myself.

I'm not agreeable with his self righteous opinions. Each to their own. If you want bats off him then good luck, I couldn't bring myself to buy one.
