Looks very nice but I personally wouldn't buy a Salix as I know they hold back their better willow for sponsored players
And Bigger companies don't?

Bigger companies give better bats to first class or international players, they give stock bats to most other sponsored players.

Salix, as far as I'm aware, only sponsor Sam Northeast? Also do you know Salix don't simply give stock bats to Northeast?

I know 2 youth County cricketers who are sponsored. The bats Salix give sponsored players have a little sticker on the edge to show this. It might just be a gimmick but the two I have seen certainly were extremely nice!

sam northeast has been using blank bats this season


This is not to say that the bats are not 'special' salixes, it's just that maybe no first class players are now salix sponsored...

So didn't you just contradict yourself by saying they do save their best bats for their sponsored players?

When I saw him playing for Kent last week he was using a Salix with some very subtle (new, I believe) silver stickers.

Maybe be Salix should start using 'blank' as their brand identity? Not such a bad idea?

In certain youth cultures showing off of labels and brands is now seen as naff. Perhaps cricket equipment could go a similar way?  ;)

By the way, do people think Salix will be able to hold on to Northeast?

Knowing Salix they would call it 'Vacuus' - in line with the latin theme.
Stickers will always sell, different stickers appeal to different peoplle - i cant see the blank appealing to many, most of the time people like to be assocciated with a brand when they buy a bat........especially those Laver owners, dont see many blank lavers around!!!

Sam Northeast has the boyish good looks required to be targeted by Adidas, I reckon.
