Looks like an averagely finished bat, probably made by a newish batmaker - perhaps from a part made. Very soft curves and shoulders don't look wonderfully cut. But I do like the branding concept and think the shape if tinkered would work well with the premise of the brand. Overall looks like it lacks the finishing touches of something premium or Salixesque.

And double middle? Lol.

Classy stickers, minimal yet beautiful.

Affinity carbine has almost kind of convex shape between spine and edges. I prefer their description of calling it a "wider middle".

To me, it doesn't matter how good you are. Sport is all about playing and competing. Whatever you do in cricket and in sport, enjoy it, be positive and try to win.

I reckon if I used a bat with those stickers in Oz, I'd never hear the end if it. Obviously for the UK market.

Otherwise, nice looking bat.

Fair enough :) Lots of different ideas.

Now the big one. What price point would you put this bat at?

If you think £10, say £10. If you reckon £250... well you get the idea.

All will be revealed later.

Thanks all.

To be honest I don't think it's that expensive. £150 max (which I personally would never pay looking at the product but good luck all the same)

With the spiel and it being made in Englad, I could see them being touted by the brand at £300. But in terms of what I think would be good value for it, more like £100-130. Honestly don't think they'd get many takers at any of those price points though, still needs work.

Looking at weight (and hence wood density), finish, grain structure I would class them in range of GBP 100 - 120. I believe the right term should be wider middle (as mentioned by tejas) than a double middle, for a double middle I would expect 2 humps on the spine!!
