If that was one of my own Python Bats I couldn't justify it being a top top of the range bat. I have a bat almost identical to it, maybe a couple more grains and i would charge £225 maximum for it.

Its just the face Admin team, no advertising!!! https://twitter.com/pythoncricket/status/371938072167870464


8 grains is ok, I think a lot of people are used to seeing a lot more these days but a few years ago 8 - 12 grains was the norm

How does it feel off the mallet? I have a bat which doesn't look the best but it is one middle anywhere 2 inches above the toe right up to the sticker

Can't always judge a bat by its looks and I spoke to Steve from Lords, as I have known him for years and asked him to get Chad a certain number on his bat, he told me they were just LE bats.

Based on what I have seen of GN bats LE is grade 1 sometimes bordering on grade 2 so I'd say this bat fits that description so you just about got what you ordered. I think Chad got lucky



What's confused me they said they would all be made by Alex mine has j/r on shoulder chads has a/n which is Alex marks so not sure who made it or was it just old stock ?

If you have a problem with Lords let me know and i'll speak to Steve.

Hard to tell really. The willow looks very similar to the powerbow le Strauss edition. The dynadrives that Jake had made up as custom les had tore guard and side stamps. I think the only killer on this one is who made it. If it was supposed to be Alex and ends up as someone else, then you've got reason to complain.

Limited Edition willow sounds to me that it should be just that, limited so should be good quality in appearance. In my opinion this isn't limited edition standard.

That's fine, but is le a willow grade or a specific version of the bat? That's not clear. And if it's a willow grade, it looks to be in the same ball park as the other le willow we've seen.
