Don't know what you mean Luke, but i was referring to the difference between a Scat and M&H bat. Pound for pound or shall i say ounce for ounce the Scats ive seen and had (3 of them) packed a much better punch.

But coming back on topic, the prices are unjustifiably extortionate in my humble opinion.

But aren't SCats custom bats where as M&H are off the shelf.

I have owned a SCat and would spend £400 on them rather than GN or Kook or GM.

True, but M and H also offer a custom service though. I had one made there. Good day out it was.

I don't know or play with anyone who would have a 400 quid bat,whether it is the master or the Newbery special edition bat which was around £1000.00 or something.A few of my team-mates would have the value of £400.00 over 2 or 3 bats,myself included.
I only hear of people buying these high priced bats on this forum.
I actually think Salix have been very clever with their pricing-they can see others racking up rrp's for the top bats and probably have done very well out of it.
I personally like Salix and i'm a fan of their bats.But if I had £400.00 i'd get 2 custom made bats from those manufacturers on this forum.
I don't personally believe a grade 1 bat made by h4l/saf/black cat/warsop would be any different than an M and H bat.
Remember pro cricketers are paid huge sums by the big boys to advertise bats-a lot of the time they are not their bats they are using but hand made by smaller companies.
The big companies rely on us,the club cricketers,to sell high priced bats too and the light is on and burning brightly for the masses...  : :)

Don't get me wrong, I completely agree...I don't think any bat is worth 400, though I do think they would be the first company I'd approach if money was no object.

If Scats were made in this country I doubt they would be over £400!! The exchange rate over here kills us  :( plus shipping and import duties...

When i spoke with Julian last, he did say that his prices have remained static for quite some years, the weak sterling is costing us big time,

If SCats were made here then they would be prices as per the market here.

A custom from compnaies like M&H, SCat would still cost £400 or thereabouts.

SCats are still the cheapest top quality bats in Aus compared to GM, GN etc
