Title: Gray Nicolls Select or Prestige
Post by: WABH-J on June 10, 2019, 09:24:32 PM

Trying to decide between a Gray Nicolls Select or Prestige bat. About £80 difference in price. I really liked the shape and pickup of the select I tried in the shop but the willow itself was very ugly. I’m not one of those people that demands perfection but even for me it was a bit far! Does anybody have any pictures of their Prestiges they could show so I can get a general idea of the standard of willow they use?

TIA

Prestige bats are made of higher grade willow

If you’re going select there is a deal here. Some on here have used this company with different outcomes. An extra 15% currently

I would speak to a retailer and see what they have in stock. One of the sponsors on here will tell you which will provide uou with best value.

Lighting is not great for the photo, they look better in the flesh but here is a select (sold) and a Prestige
