Raptor butterfly willow bats £99
« on: October 31, 2013, 08:31:38 PM »
new range of the raptor is butterfly willow i used it for years and it goes just takes a bit more to get going but onces it gets going it goes  and doing this range for £99



“Butterfly Stain”, so called as it resembles the wings and body of a butterfly. It is attributed to pruning and frost damage, especially by hard pruning of larger branches that causes scarring in the timber.  (Found in our own research and confirmed by the Forestry Commission).  Although most of the public do not understand the butterfly stain, it adds strength to the finished bat, giving longer life of the bat with much less likely hood of the bats breaking and we think it looks great this was taken from wrights page and i 100 percent agree

Totally agree about this willow, we have a lad at out club who uses a Warsop Butterfly bat and ok it's 3 seasons old so fully knocked in and opened but boy does it fly and this type of bat offers great value for money.

yes your right chris and you can get some lovely grains ie big numbers people are put off but the stain and colour but they should look throw that and give it ago with the amount of cheap ball used in nets and leagues theses clefts make senes to me but a lot of players want 10 plus grains no marks etc thats fine but i like to look at willow with open eyes years ago pros used to look for butterfly willow that must say some thing i think we all been caught in the the perfect blade and thats fine every ones diffent

I agree - I'm not really a fan of 'pinstripes'. Anything above 9 or 10 grains and I'd get bored with counting  ;)

Wasn't it the Classic Bat Co that used to have a range about 15 years ago that was specifically butterfly? I remember that they used to go like stink
