$660 = 420 pounds for there top bat.. Alot of money for a small unknown brand given the quality you are guaranteed at that price elsewhere. There bats dont also show there profile on the site that I can see.

Never seen or heard of them before...and I live here lol

Don't look too bad....big price jump between the LE bats and the other ones available...not sure I am a fan of the shape of the Wand Pro Players! Just looks a bit odd.....stuff all timber at the top of the bat....I guess your not meant to use the top though hey :-)

Realisticly, that is alot of money..I did find it odd that there were no profile pics aswel! The Wand Pro Players does seem to have quite a flat toe.. although, the more i look at it the les it looks that odd!

Haha I dunno....your right though, the toe is skinny and the splice area is skinny too....still not looking less odd to me! Yeah Dunno that I would want to pay that sort of money for a largely unheard of brand

It's not a lot out there though. It just feels expensive because of the weak pound.

True, most LE/top range bats here in AUS are around that price....most are usually more that that.

they are really top bats.

a lot of the top players use these bats over here, in our national league.

they have MASSIVE middle's but they are very light.

there softs (most of all there pads) are also great and offer a heap of protection...

thanks Nick

Majority of the bats are made by MJ Champ. I think that says it all.
