The general concensus is they make good bats but don't expect great things in aftersales service.

jacko there are a couple of topics on warsop venom pros and reviews that may help if you use the search function or hav a browse through the warsop section: http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?board=38.0
i think there are another couple of topics floating round in different sections on the matter too.
i agree with jonpinson with regards to quality and aftersales service. i hope that helps.

I love the venom pro I bought, if thats any help. (its in the Warsop section)
Even though they are brilliant bats, I do think they pick up slightly heavy (but the middle position makes sense)
I dont really care to much for the pick up in this instance, as it feels great in the hands

I think you can get better for the money, Warsop would be a very nice bat, However H4L, Saf, Redback Vantage, Blackcat could offer something more suited to you.

Why would a H4L or Black Cat be better (or more suited) than a Warsop out of interest?

They do make some cracking bats but remember they are a small business with many loyal clients.I cant completely agree with the poor email customer service as I simply call them and they always answer.Probably best buying from them if you live within distance to make it easier should you have to go back for something. I took a punt and bought a super bat.

They must do very well as they rarely have any discounts or promotions but make sure you haggle as its a good time to presently. Ive seen many Warsops on Ebay at about £120 which are less than a season old. The Forum does spoil us and £150 does get you some very decent willow which makes Warsop seem pricey.

Evidence?

Warsop make good bats but for the quoted price the poster could get a top grade bat made to his spec, and a pair of pads for the same price.

Welcome to the forum, but we are grown ups who share information, not start fights for the sake of it.
