Let me get this straight, £500 for an 'off the shelf' CnC made bat? The world has gone mad  :D

I picked up a Kook Recoil Players bat yesterday in my local shop..........£425! Even the guy in the shop said he doubted they would ever sell one! Especially as they were displayed next to some gorgeous Salix bats at around the £300 mark that looked just as good AND are properly handmade....

I genuinely think you need your head examining if you even consider one of these.... :D

Probably the most overpriced bats I have ever seen...

Sorry, certainly didn't want to come across as rude, I'm sure it's a great bat and if you've got the money then go for it.....................................BUT £500??  :D :D :D

Just had a thought.......how much do we reckon it's worth after a season of use?

Wait for the season to begin. These will be down to £400 and by mid season around £350.

Around Christmas time I was offered one of the JT Icons for £370, beautiful bat but didn't think it was worth £370.

The bat was just under 2.11 but felt like a 2.9, had lots of clean grains with no heartwood and big bat with a lot of wood.

Saw a GS Epic, 21 grains with half heartwood. 2.13 big but nothing special. Had a GM Icon 909 or original last season which was £140 and had 19 grains and half heartwood...... so £370 is way too much money.

But if someone has the money and fancies something special they why not?

Only GM can confirm that.

If I have understood correctly the players edition bats are made to the exact specs of the sponsored players and I think it was mentioned somewhere that if any of these sponsored players walked in for a bat then they would be happy picking one from the lots made for the retailers.

Like I said, the bats are beautiful.

All bats that I was shown had almost no concaving.

Better to spend £500 on your girl, will get more out of her (in a good way) than these bats.
