The bat cost roughly 160 quid which for an 11 year old is a bit steep.Told it would last a few years so didn’t mind.It obviously wasn’t used last year and second week in this year it snaps. Bearing in mind she… is now 12 and doesn’t have a great amount of physical strength.Phoned to see if it could be a manufacturing fault and they didn’t want to know. Awful customer service and no offer of a discount to replace it , definitely won’t be buying again or recommending to anyone.

Extremely poor customer service.We paid over 100 for batting pads and gloves for my daughter(very overpriced but seemingly the HK range is the only equipment available with a colour scheme favoured by girls) only to be told the items were out of stock..after payment had been taken via PayPal.Very frustrating as the website said they were in stock and allowed us to add to basket and pay..its now over a week and were still waiting for a refund! On contacting SM we too received a condescending reply explaining they were short staffed and hadnt kept the website up to date. We appreciate

My daughter has the SM HK 149 bat, pads and gloves and is delighted with them. They do kit tailored for women and girls, lighter and better sized. She particularly loves the pads and gloves; nice neutral styling and very comfortable + protective. The bat goes really well and is weighted to suit her. Her only complaint was the sticker came off the back of the bat quite easily. This was because they had lightened the bat to be more suitable for girls, and doesn't detract from its performance.

Really like my SM cricket kit. Very reasonable price, good quality and by buying through the cash builder I was able to put money back into my club at the same time.

Very poor service and patronising owner. His emails when I queried things were rude and condescending.
