I spent a lot of money on a bat that was marketed to me as a Somerset hand made quality bat. I complained to the Director when I found out where they are actually made but he didn't understand that I wanted something with a 'pedigree' not a stock bat I could have bought for �100 anywhere. In short I was ripped off, I asked for my money back but was laughed at basically. Goggle Bulldog or look at the website for the newpaper article. It does a clever job of alluding to two guys making bats in Somerset. Truth is they are bought from a guy with a shop in London and Bulldog market them and stick the stickers on at best...

Jamferg i am sorry to hear this - i hope you didnt spend too much on it. I was in the somerset county ground shop today where they have a few - the pedigree was �290 and in my opinion had some very poor looking grain (5 and not straight) - though this doesnt mean it is a poor bat and having not used one i am in no place to suggest they perform poorly - it's just for that kind of money i want some decent looking clean grain. My advice - the money is better spent on a custom made blade from one of the many podshavers on the forum - and at half the price of the shop bats.

Indeed.:-) After 15 + bats over 30 ys of playing I should have known better.Young players,however, may not and should be warned... Now using a ebay bat made by a British maker( in the NE) and paid �43 for it. Av 87.00 this season,for a 2nd hand bat it flies..but quality can be found with research :-)

I agree, always keep an eye out for some of the ebay bats -couple rough diamonds occasionally peep there head, good work! only 15 bats in 30 years.......i seem to have got through 10 in the last 2 years.......dont ask. Sometimes you have to learn the hard way.....it's just crap when it happens to you and you shell out too much money. Older and wiser im sure

Who is it? as I know all the bat makers in the South and none makes any for Bulldog. Plus none of the willow merchants has heard of Bulldog, where does your willow come from?

SillyShilly · « **Reply #37 on:** June 06, 2009, 08:14:54 AM »

Similarly, i would love to know - if he is that good surely it would be a good endorsement for your company to tell us all?

Bulldog

Is it that he is making for Bulldog 'now' so therefore he wasn't before - yet the Pedigrees were still the price they were for what are alledgedly off the shelf Indian made bats from a stockist?

Just wishing Bulldog to clarify the situation as many of us go cricket equipment shopping in West London and have eyes and ears!

Like i said, Pedigree is handmade in England. Just call us or better still come and visit us and we will tell you all about it.

So what are your Growlers and Bashers made from?

jamferg · « **Reply #43 on:** June 06, 2009, 09:04:12 PM »

I would assume that you would want to post such information here

SillyShilly · « **Reply #44 on:** June 06, 2009, 10:38:17 PM »

Am i missing something? I would imagine 'who makes your bats' is a relatively simple question to answer and extremely important to know for those who have and want to buy your equipment.....surely the association with the batmaker 'we all rave on about' would clarify the situation and give potential customers a little more faith in your brand.
