Right thought I would write a little review about my dealings with Redback.
Came to that time of the year where I thought I would dust the bag off and see if I needed any new equipment for Winter nets. Then I realised that I had left my bag in the back of my pick-up after the last game of the 2010 season and it had rained. New pads and bat etc ruined. Although an excuse for brand new gear!
Most years I will get a new bat. Usually a mid-range Asian bat, spending not too much over £100. Time and time again they would play great for 3/4's of the season and then they would break. Usually in the handles! (I think all Asian bats are made with chocolate handles!) Then borrowing various bats that just are not suited to my play.
This year I thought I would invest in some top quality English equipment, with good customer service and people who actually care about how their product is performing well after the purchase date.
Narrowed it down to Vantage, SAF and Redback, finally choosing the latter.
A few exchanged e-mails and 'we' had come up with a couple of ideas. Gary said he would make them up and then get back to me. About 4-5 days passed and I got sent a couple of photos of the bats, eventually deciding on the Paradox after initially being set on the Allegiance.
Seen as though everything I previously owned was destroyed, I went for the Traditional gloves and pads. 3 days later and I came home to a few packages...
This is what I got:
Hope this helps anyone who fancies getting one. If you do, then why are you waiting? Grab the phone or get typing and get in touch with Gary, you will not be disappointed.
