General Comments
For many years Barrington Sports has been supplying mail order throughout the UK (and beyond for all I know). 20 years ago I was with a club in Surrey who did an annual order from Barringtons, because they were the best then. They still are. You can go to their small industrial estate shop in Knutsford Cheshire and try the demo sticks, and maybe pick up a clearance bargain. Or just order online. Clear pictures and descriptions. Easy to navigate. And they only charge your credit card when they're ready to send. Their site shows customer reviews. I've put a couple of reviews in for items that I've bought, only the most favourable review made it onto the website (the cheap cheap gum-shields really are not worth it), but I'd do the same in their position. Because I live close enough, I usually go in person for anything expensive, but for the odd small purchase I just order online.
