I hear the handles are a tad weak but for that price why not go for it.

well yes they do but he is solely selling on ebay in his room
and i have tried one and all i can say was the profile was dump (as they say around here) and it snapped after a handful of net sessions and also it had a very poor handle
and tbh i don't like the stickers and his willow looks poor apart from 90% or so but you can not go solely on looks but you can with handles and they are poor to say the least

Peplow bought(not brought)one just last week and he is rarely fooled into purchasing blanks awaiting re stickering.

7000 clefts per container allows plenty of room for profit when they are returned finished as bats and sold in sterling.

I have ordered a Harrow for my son, and he also has pads and gloves for sale using MSR brand, I have ordered a pair of gloves for myself.Price inc P+P £70.00 for both so very good price. The guy was really helpful sent me pictures of 4 bats and loads of different images of the bats so my lad could make his decision!! So I guess its just wait and see what the quality is like!

Perkins 17 seems to have a real downer on the guy, hes only trying to make a living, but I guess if you have had a bad experience with his product then fair enough! I didnt understand your reference to 90% of his willow looking poor? obviously stickers are subject to opinion what one person loves another hates! and I guess same with profiles some people like the large concave asian type some more traditional english profile, lets hope the handle was a one off problem, if you are selling a lot of bats you are bound to have one or two problems, but apart from not liking Profile, Stickers, look of the willow and handle it sounds like you loved the bat!! anyway guess I will be able to make my own mind up when goods arrive.

Ordered one of these in the end of season sale figuring even if it was rubbish it wasn't a great deal of money to throw away. Bat turned up quick and did look very good indeed, beautiful straight grains not as evenly spaced as I've had on other bats but considering the fraction of the price very pleasing. After knocking in and a couple of hours of throw downs and a bowling machine I am still very impressed. Balance is good and it's a damn powerful bat. Admittedly the feel through the handle isn't the best but all in all I'm very happy with it, still use my CA plus 8000 over it but I'm sure after a couple of seasons of use it will feel almost as good.

very harsh comments, where do you think bats are made these days ? for that money im buying 3 bats to see how they go i'll come back with my verdict an honest one at that

i used a kashmir willow for the 1st time last year scored a ton 1st sat league game went like a rocket but soft, i want performance not a bat that looks mint and last 4 years (£250 job) its all about scoring the runs not branding
