Es mate I do not have the budget to buy a load from wrights or a maker like I said a hobby.   I have done a bit of research and most do not realy care where it was pressed and handled.   All itrying to do is put a top end bat out there at a price is right and there will be no big time sales or anything just me and my son following a hobby. Got to do something to while away my spare time and it will be good and fun and I will take pride in them.   

If you don't care where the bat is pressed and handled then you will never have a top end bat, pressing is the most important factor in a bat's construction.

Yes but I do know were it being pressed and I know it is going to be top class just hope my batmaker can do it justice but he has been making top bats for quite a long time.  As I have said wait till petehosk gets a sample it will not be selected as the best just a random selection and I sure you will get a go with it.   No point in talking about pressing I know it will be pressed between 1 to 3 times between 1400lb and 1900 lb per square inch

out of interest why is Mr Hosk testing it?

Is he deemed as the neutral tester on the forum and voice of reason on everything willow? If so he'll be getting bombarded with kit instead of wisden/AOC lol

I gave him my word he could test it but hopefully will have it for a forum net but it will not be for a couple of months.

Cricketboy2010 are you the cricketboy of CSF who was asking if you could have grips made? You are ver ambitious for a 13 year old, if only the kids I teach knew what they wanted to do already in their lives

yer thats me i dont go on csf anymore cus most of those guys are d heads,  right back to the subject....

i have come up with an idea of an environmentally freindly series called the enviro, the bat  is going to just be normal ew but all the softs are going to be made out of a recycled rubber,which is going to be heated at high tempreaters and moulded.

atm this is only an idea but we think it could boom in the cricket market,... pls tell me wat u think.

well , rubber softs are more flexeble so they mould to your hand quiker and rubber is a bit sticky so u will get a better grip on the bat. btw this wont be the normal rubber u see everyday, its looks more like leather but alot glossier,

feedback would be much appreiceated.

Hi can confirm I take my fist shipments of bats early may but stickers will not be ready till mid may early June pictures of the bats will be up on the forum.  Glad about this post has made me sort them out a little quicker. Selecting the wood in 2 weeks and will be totaly handmade in England. The first batch will be in my designed shape there after customised ones can be made.   Dave.  The hobby name will be announced soon

you were on there today making comments, maybe you should go back?! Seems to me that you are clearly very ambitious but need to wait till you grow up and have a better understanding of the way things work.
