According to James Laver, having a Super Short Handle aids in bat speed. I was thinking of getting one, since I'm only 5'8, but I don't see any reason to change, unless you grip your handle fairly low or it really hampers your shot selection. I've actually found that I hold the handle a bit higher than I thought I did!

Bats are looking lovely as always. How have the G1 Butterfly bats sold compared to the regular ones so far?

Very popular thanks chad particularly to people who visit as they see the true beauty of them in the flesh and get to feel just how good the response is.

Here's some lovely butterfly1 clefts waiting to be shaped for some lucky individuals

Cleft on the left has sold subject to payment

[Northern monkey]

Yeah, they do look good in the flesh
Especially those G1 butterfly's

Paul, ,just wondering if you could get a butterfly down to 2.8 finished,to my bats shape with the shorter handle?
Or are we not talking much difference?

Once I can get hold of my lad, I will let you know when he wants one

[Aldred Cricket Bats]

It's not a butterfly I know but while I'm in here here's a lovely harrow grade 3 going out to a very good local cricketer I used to go to school with his dad as it happens he was my house captain that's when life was in black and white

Not really going to make that much difference. Has he picked your bat up?

[Northern monkey]

Yeah, ,that's why he wants one

He wants 2.8 tho, , ,thought I was fussy!

Our gold and silvers start at 2-9

Two lovely butterfly bats off out. 1 gold sovereign butterfly1 off to a local player and a velocity butterfly super short handle. Both lovely pieces of wood always love a super short handle for some reason

Hi Paul
Yet more beauties!
What's the difference (other than colour) between the black and white grips?  Are they both part of your standard offering?

[Aldred Cricket Bats]

Actually the white ones in the pic are new ones we normally just do spirals but the company I use didn't have any made up so he advised me to have these similar to salix ones so I'm told. They are good quality just not as thick as the spiral.

Nice looking butterfly willow

[Aldred Cricket Bats]

Just cleaned these up today not even pressed yet and they look sensational and I am certain they will make stunning butterfly1 obviously will see when pressed but to be honest the look and feel of them now doesn't seem to suggest otherwise

I believe that is my 'grainy heartwood belter'  1 in from the right.
Ordered a standard butterfly from paul as well.

[Aldred Cricket Bats]

No it's not horseman yours is already handled and waiting in the line up to be made. That is one that is very very similar and we have some more as well looking through the pile not quite so many grains but real beautiful grains.
