Bulldog Pedigree

I ordered a Bulldog Pedigree in August and I thought I would finally do a review of it.

Service.

I had previously bought some gear of Kieron and he offered me some discount if I was to buy of him again. So after using the gear I bought for most of the season it became obvious that another Bulldog bat would be the right thing to go for. I emailed Kieron with my specifications and he sent back very quickly an email with a few bats for me to choose from. Over the next few days I sent emails back and he did likewise very quickly. Kieron actually arranged for his friend to drop the bat of to me when I was in Taunton for the day, to save on the postage. A request that he did not need to fulfil.

Looks.

I had asked for a bat with a good slice of Heartwood and a large amount of grains. I also wanted a bat with a large profile, with little/no bowing and weighing in at 2.7/9. I wanted it in a short handle also. The bat was also knocked in for me and prepared for play. The final piece is a fantastic bat that in my opinion looks superb.

Performance.

The first time I was able to use this bat I managed the grand score of 1 not out, and that was of the edge. I watched on from the non strikers end while we lost 5 wickets in a little over 2 overs!! I have used it since and I am sooo please to say that the bat is a gun. The ball seems to fly of it much better than the Fusion I had been using at the start of the season. I think with it being lighter I am able to time the ball much better therefore giving more value to my shots.

I would recommend Bulldog to anyone. They are a small British company that can give you excellent service matched by excellent equipment. Checkout their website and give Kieron a ring or an email. I promise you won�t be disappointed

Bulldog = 10/10

looks nice. with 3/4th heartwood the ball will surely fly....it may afftect the life span of the bat though....

I never seem to keep bats to long anyways so I will probably only keep it for the full season anyways. I play upto 3/4 times a week and net early in the year so it gets a full use!!

Glad you like it

heartwood makes the bat ping more?

The quantity of heartwood would make the bat grade 2/3, it will mean that the willow is stiffer and produce more power but break more easily.

Looks a great bat mate i was tempted to get one for the new season but went with Redback instead.

Hi Ken, great review and glad you like the bat.

Bats graded on looks and performance and down to the customers requirement of plenty of heartwood and lots of grains. Like you say it meets everything you asked for. Anybody else out there looking for a new bat we are offering some great deals on our new Pedigrees at the moment and also good discounts on all Bulldog gear.

Thanks Ken and please keep in touch and let me know how the bat goes next season.

Cheers

Cheers Kieron. The bat really is lush. I was so pleased to get a good deal even if I did miss out on the offer of the Basher u have recently emailed (although it would have been cheeky to have asked for a discount and a free net bat!).

It would be great to hear if you are going to do clothing next year as I would love to complete all the gear with a set of Bulldog whites, then it will look like I am sponsered.

I know in all the games that I played in last year with the Basher I was getting so many comments on the bat, the way it looked and people asking about where I got it from. The eye cathing logo really is fantastic and I am sure this will get you many more orders in.

Keep up the fantastic work, I will be reordering again from you and sending my Basher back for a refurb next season.

Cheers

Ken, the free basher is with a full price Pedigree, so you did ok.

We are planning on having a full range of clothing for 2009 and have lots of samples coming in at the moment. Just choosing the best ones now. We are also adding another set of pads and gloves to our range which will be very classy and simular in style to the Newbery SPS gear. Another bat is also being added "the BLX" as in the dogs BLX.

As soon as i have images of all the stuff i will let you know.

Cheers

Kieron

Ha I know Kieron, believe me I am more than happy with the deal I got. Looking forward to seeing the new gear no doubt you'll be getting an order, or 2!

Lovin the name for the new bat, that really will be the dogs.... where will it slip in with the range?

Cheers, lookin forward to a website update

Bulldog Cricket · « **Reply #11 on:** October 17, 2008, 01:01:49 PM »

Ken, BLX will be between the Basher and Growler, probably around �120 retail. Website should be updated in early Jan09.

cheers Kieron

Talisman · « **Reply #12 on:** October 17, 2008, 01:42:26 PM »

Hi Kieron,

Surely the phrase " the Dogs B*&$$@ks " means the very best and should lead the brand?

Bulldog Cricket · « **Reply #13 on:** October 17, 2008, 01:52:28 PM »

We did think that Mike, but then we have the Pedigree which is our top of the range and we did not want to change that. My bat last year was stickered up as a BLX and it seemed to go down well so we thought we would introduce it into our range, but yes i know what you are saying.

kenbriooo · « **Reply #14 on:** November 06, 2008, 01:37:59 PM »

Perhaps, you could market the BLX bat as a 20/Twenty bat? There seems to be a few companys aiming bats at that market so thats pos an option.

Looking forward to seeing the new design and website
