Does it bestow the powers of retired players too?

If so, I'll take Lara & Ponting... written on the same toe.  :D

The hits hard bats are still around but don't think Salix continued with them far as I know. They were a more affordable bat but still grade 1's and 2's.

As a comparison on salix website the best willow POD model has an SSP of 550 gbp, equivalent willow GN legend approx 800.

I don't actually know  the most expensive bat in the UK, I'm sure others on the forum do, I suspect it's around the 800-850 mark.

Personally I have a GM 606 used from EBay for 50 gbp(including postage).  :)

HitsHard was a sub brand for Ben their understudy to make under but he subsequently followed a different career path I believe so it’s just Salix now.

Kevin Woodgate is one of the best bats makers but never gets any credit.

So, given how popular Keeley bats are, he ought to have been mentioned more often?  The article suggests Kember rates him very highly.

You would have thought so.

If anyone has been to keeley, he spends pretty much all his time in the little wooden shed next to the big metal shed.
