Ok here it is. We haven't put this on our website yet. As you all know we have set a trend with the butterfly bats over the last year and I have now selected some beautiful willow now that I am confident in what I am looking for. So seeing as we have ordered many more clefts this time we have selected a certain amount of very special butterfly clefts and creating what will be known as our butterfly grade 1 bats. These are the ones that look and feel very special indeed. They will have not only beautiful markings but special grains too, they are a combination of everything you could look for in a butterfly. We will still be offering our standard butterfly bats too.
Our grade 1 butterfly clefts will be �170 shipped in the uk. Here are an example of the sort of clefts we will put to one side for these beautiful bats just get in touch

Left hand side and second from right both look like great clefts!

Aldred Cricket Bats · « **Reply #233 on:** April 02, 2014, 05:27:56 PM »

They are all beauties photos never quite show them off as well as they should, I only pick out the ones that look and feel exceptional. We have selected very well this order and touch wood we keep selecting better each time

the one in the middle looks like it has 20 grains.

i imagine a lot of people would be put off it because there is so much hardwood

That is a beautiful piece of willow and weighing in at 3-9 in its current state would make a lovely 3-10 bat. It pings beautifully

Paul, how do these compare to some of the clefts you've used previously and sold at the normal price? Will some have been this good, as the one I've got isn't disimilar and pings very nicely (my new match bat over a �300+ Gray Nics).

I was thinking EXACTLY this!! LOL! :S

Dunc it's more a case that I have a larger selection to choose from. The last lot I had I had never used them before and didn't know really what I was looking at and needed to learn about them. This time we have hand selected more and taken the trouble to try and pick out the very best looking ones we can. The original idea was to try and introduce different grades of butterfly but learning from my first lot I feel it would be very very difficult to put a full grading system in place as the variation of colouring is vast so I have decided to go with purely the ones that are looking and feeling very special indeed. Like I say int the first batch we had we had a few that were of this ilk but it was a case of learning what we get and how we select it to give you the customer the best choice for varied budgets. I don't feel we could ever put these prices up ridiculous amounts as that's not honest but I do feel we need to treasure these prices of willow and not just cast them off as mediocre as they have been done over the last 15-20 years because they are not perfect white clefts.
