It certainly feels the part. If I had both the money and the talent to justify the purchase the bat would be mine. And having tapped it with the mallet I feel I'm well positioned to comment.

Hadn't realised we have met!

On the bat front i think it looks pretty good.

Post by: jonpinson on March 29, 2011, 10:04:52 PM: Nice piece of wood, big for the weight but sadly let down by the little details that can be easily overlooked in a mainstream factory. It could probably be remedied by a competent batmaker but call me fussy, I'd want a symmetrical bat for £330.

Maybe it's the new version, with an offset spine, the "Legend: Edge".... ;)

Post by: johnnyw on March 30, 2011, 08:02:31 AM: RRP: £400.00
Normally: £349.99
NOW: £349.99
You Save (Off RRP): £50.01 (13%)

Its a bit confusing on the website. How can a bat be normally 349.99 and now 349.99?
Title: Re: GN Custom Made Legend
Post by: jonpinson on March 30, 2011, 09:16:06 AM: Because that way you can believe you are saving £50 when you're not, so everyone wins. :D

Also a lot of retailers in the UK (Owzat, Mapperly etc.) are selling the legend for £299.99 so why is this one £349.99?

Post by: johan95 on March 30, 2011, 07:53:04 PM: I think the clue is in the title - custom made. Perhaps an even better cleft Asad chose while up at GN, but it looks a belter.
Obviously, Asad and Harvey both say this picks up deliciously, and IMO Pick-up is very important, whether it is worth the extra £50 I don't know, but that may contribute.
I am sure that either Asad or Harvey will clear everything up for you in due course though mate :)

Have a look at the product photos of the other legends on sale. Totally different. This is a Custom GN that happens to have Legend Labels hence the price.

Post by: jonpinson on March 30, 2011, 11:42:09 PM: In which case the thread title is misleading as it suggests it is a Legend custom made to have a long handle.

Post by: harry kovert on April 03, 2011, 12:34:18 PM: There seem to be inconsistencies at different parts of the website.

Have just messaged Asad so I'm sure it will be quickly resolved.

My apologies.
