Quote from the PDC website :

LIMITED EDITION
Limited to the best 5% of the willow tree. All white willow, straight grains and a clean hitting area, optimum strike performance, clean strike zone and even grain.

Interestingly, this information cannot be found on the Gray Nicolls website. Given the wide range of grades and prices of their bats per model, there is no guidance at all as to what differentiates these.

It is undoubtedly a good deal for this time of the year.

I have bought a number of bats blind on line from a range of UK sources.

It is more a case on the credibility of the grading by the manufacturer than the retailer.

In my experience Kookaburra are the most consistent or most likely to provide a pleasant surprise.

With the hand-picking that goes on, no doubt for the makers that permit this (including GN) there is more likelihood of the residual stock being sold off like this.

I did buy a GN Powerbow Strauss LE last year from Sports Direct for �150, somewhat of a gamble and was extremely pleased with it. So there are bargains out there.

Well I've just ordered one of there this morning. In my eyes it's a great deal so why not. Gray Nics only put decent bits of willow into the LEs so it's not going to be a dud. If you don't like it, send it back or sell it off.

I've also bought from them before and didn't have a problem.

i guess they sold out of it, that was quick, should have gone for it..... damn

Was going to add to my earlier post that there are bargains out there ....with some luck and optimum timing.

The Powerbow Strauss LE I mentioned was further reduced from 200 to 150. I nearly bought one at 200 but didn't press the very last button to do so.

Agree that at 175 really can't go too far wrong if that model is desired rather than pure bargain hunting.
