Alas it's a touch out of my price range.....

lovely detailing and all but....how exactly is it worth £250 more than their normal top of the range custom stick?

What a stunner. I love the stickers and profile of the photographed bat. Hmm... £575 is just a little out of my price range :)

Not sure I get the Winston Churchill reference? Probably being a bit stoopid!

It's £425 cheaper than a Cenkos.

Not a fan...This bat would have been £300 2 seasons ago, and the stickers are awful.

99% of people will associate Pol Roger as the £30 plonk next to the own brand champers!

Must say, I think the stickers look quality! Not the price though.

Stickers look good, but I think I prefer the F40s... Quite a fair bit more than I would pay for a bat!

how is a bat half heartwood and half sapwood and some moisture stains on the face worth £575?

It will only be the demo Bat for stickers.... But.... I would have thought BC smart enough to use a bat with no aesthetic imperfections to advertise an elite, super-premium priced product

Really don't get how you can charge £575 for a bat when all you do is stick stickers on a bat! Looks nice but the price point is nuts.

Salix will make you an AJK for £175 cheaper and do not see how this justifies the extra price.

I'd love to take a look in your cellars if you're describing PR champagne as plonk!
