Took Advantage of Marks offer on Players grades and a G1. I do like an Aldred bat. Combination of my weight range is where Paul likes making them (2-12+) and a good handle. The gold and silver sovereign feel like they could be used straightaway, the spectre feels like it needs a little bit of mallet and slow netting work to open up. 3 different profiles too with a lower middle on the silver, higher on the spectre and a massive overall shape in the gold.

Marks service is top class, answered all my questions and the postage was very quick, which is always a bonus. Wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.

Those pictures could've been a hell of lot better!!

Glad you like them and thanks for the compliments on our service. You have got 3 nice bats there and I'm sure there are lots of runs in them.

Clearer pics of the grains? ;)

I know I don't quite agree with Paul's view on dead weight being completely irrelevant, but cannot deny that the man makes a top bat. I think his old Supreme shape was probably my favourite of his. Hope you get some good use out of these! :)

seconded. I think if he softened his view on the 2-3oz pick up difference he'd enjoy an excellent following.
I too love the supreme shape. Classic styling.

Much like your mammoth collection Chad, theres a queue of bats to get through!!
