That's a good price. Are they the same as superbests?

These clefts are the same as Superbests and are one level down from clefts reserved for Pro players.

Here they are

(http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x242/e4sby/116grains.jpg)

16 Grains, slight marks on the face

(http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x242/e4sby/113grains4.jpg)

12/13 Grains about 4 heartwood

(http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x242/e4sby/114grains.jpg)

14 grains, slight imperfection further up the blade

Its hard to count the grains on the face of the bats so give me one grain either way.  The clefts have been softly pressed with little/no bow.

Prices on request

I thought i'd offer these to the forum before i take them down my club at the weekend.  For £159 these represent a bargain.  These clefts are reserved for the top of the range bats at a large well known company who sell them for £250++.

Only 3 available, all have been lightly pressed and have very little bow in the blades.  The only piece of warning i shall give is that these will be guns of bats but the durability of them will be alot less than a normal blade.  Knocking in is a must!

Can I just check on the price of bats now Chris because I thought anyone who entered the competition was eligible for a Grade One bat for £99 plus postage?

These are G1+ (not G1) Danny so they're £159 inc P+P

I'd imagine they are performance graded?

Competition entrants like Tom says are still entitled to a G1 bat for £99, this is available unti the end of August.  

G1+ clefts are a good deal more than G1 at present due to the lack of high number grained clefts.

They are graded on weight/density, then looks and then performance, but you find the higher the grains the better the performance as many will know.

Right cool, I was just checking if the offer was still on really not questioning your judgement on grading. Thanks.

Seeing that the post before yours was almost a year ago, I'd have to say I'd be very surprised if they were still available!!

You never know they may still be available.

Possible but unlikely as those clefts looked awesome and would have been snapped up quickly.
