If you don't care about how the Worlds largest consumer of cricket bat willow uses, grades and selects performance willow, fine.

But I do.

What % of SGs do you see on this website in comparisons to other bats?

Fine if you do but on this forum SG has a minimal footprint

The talk of misgrades mainly goes on with big brand bats. Many of which come from SG.

I would like to hear how Sg grade their willow

Please fire away

Tom that is fine mate but I'd stick my neck out here and say most people on here wouldn't know who SG make for and just see SG as SG not the differing brands you are alluding to!

Well I do to, but quite why you need to be asked to post what you want to post is bit of a mystery.

My problem with SG is that it is hard to quantify as I don't see their own brand and have no idea if they would dictate to Kookaburra or the other way round. Ive been able to tap up 2 Kahuna Players this season and they were beautiful and not bad rebound wise, but a Recoil Players was a plank, worse size and rebound than a 400 so interested to know why.

I understand that these are made and graded by SG ?

There are 3 different grades here
1 at grade 1,  2 at grade 2, and 2 at grade 3

any ideas as to which is the grade 1 ?

[Talisman]

Are the models defined on grades, what I mean by that is some brands stick to the merchants grading and others do not offer a description of what makes an "elite" or "county" model.

Is guess the second one in is the 1, but they all look like 2's to me.

[shentser]

correct no 2 is the grade 1 but to my uneducated eye it doesnt look that special in the flesh

number 4 is graded as a 3 but is actually quite nice

[Talisman]

Not saying my eyes are educated but they all look the same grade, hopefully Tom will enlighten us now I've asked nicely.

[Canners]

Mike who would you say your fussiest customer was on the grading front?

[Simmy]

got to be charlie? lol

[Canners]

Not what I've heard

[ProWannabe88]

It's either Charlie or some other member, alias starts with a C I reckon... Hmmmmm 

[Talisman]

Not really sure of anyone who would quibble my selections, try to ensure each bat is to their liking, of course so much crap talked about who gets bats from whom that people believe the hype. I'd hope most people who come to me do so based on knowledge as opposed to hearsay.

What about you?

[Talisman]

Which Charlie are we talking about?
