£500 for a bat by Lords.......seems rather pricey!
Only 3 available.....though i fully suspect Mr.Hosk has one in his collection already!

Another make to jump on the 'ooh, we can charge £500 for a bat' bandwagon.

Don't know much about Lords except they did a great refurb on my bat about 10 years ago.

Looks like an ill thought through attempt to cash in on other brands 'super premium' offerings

Yep, sadly what they haven't realised is the others offering similar are well known and well regarded. I really didn't know Lords was still going until I saw this, heard nothing of them for years.

It will of course only cost them however much 3 sets of stickers cost. If there are no orders, no bats will be made. It is a very smart marketing idea this. I can see why many do it.

Good luck to anyone who buys them. I think this bat could be made abroad.

I think you mean sinker not the more appropriate "stinker"

No i did mean the 'Stinker' - i got their catalogue through the post this morning - needless to say it provided a few cheap laughs.
Get this - the 'Stinker' bat comes with a practice bat free of cost and this is the description of the practcie bat
"This is only a practice bat and due to the nature of popular willow (could be a feudian slip, they may mean poplar!), it is prone to cracking from the first use and the length of its use is not guaranteed"
So buy an overpriced bat and receive a mystery bat that could be kashmir, could be poplar, could even be pine!!
