i was watching a documentary about gunn and moore,  they produce over 15,000 bats per season since the inception of the dmx machine.  so my thinking,  the average failure rate is 10%   that 1500 bats that will break or not go anywhere  that still leaves 13,500 that are gooduns.

Anybody knows that bad news travels quicker than praise and good news. so all we hear about, are those breakages and not very good ones.

my experience with big brand bats is poor tbh

Depends what you class as a biding brand! I would class Salix, Newbery and M&H as bog brands when it does to cricket bats and never seen or heard of a bad one from these 3 brands.

Due to the law of averages if you buys GM, GN, slazenger, kook etc there will besome planks due to pure volume of bats. Don't get very many at all poor ones in the top range though IMO.
