Also I have an apology to make to Paul. I asked him about a refurb and told him I'd be sending it in to be looking nice and shiny again after a winter of netting, but I was having far too much fun with it to be parted for a couple of weeks. I'll send it in at the end of the season Paul!

Hi guys newbie here. Read these comments and im very keen on a butterfly as my bat is on its last legs and i can work on opening up the willow in the nets whilst my current bat stills hangs in there.

One thing i have always done with my bat is apply anti scuff after oiling. Just wondered everyones opinion on anti scuff in general?

Also would you recommend knocking in new bats before or after oil application, and then again before or after anti scuff application. Iimagine its best to open the willow up in knocking in stage without anti scuff on so it will be easier to do. Especially for a butterfly willow bat?

Always oil with Raw Linseed first when dry   commence knocking in with the oldest softest ball you have after around two hours the bat fibres will have started to harden and knit together continue knocking in using a mallet.

Also would you recommend knocking in new bats before or after oil application,oil the bat with 2 or 3 coats of oil, then knock the bat in and then again before or after anti scuff application.I personally do most of the knocking in before I apply a scuff sheet. I'd suggest you at least round the edges of the bat before applying a scuff sheet. And I like to knock the whole area covered by the scuff a after application, as I feel this helps it stick better Iimagine its best to open the willow up in knocking in stage without anti scuff on so it will be easier to do. Especially for a butterfly willow bat?

Hello,

I am considering a butterfly bat for next season. May I ask what are the performance differences and your prices. I tried PMing you but for some reason I couldn't get past the questions "Australia's Vice Captains" despite answering correctly! So feel free to PM me

I've had a gold sovereign butterfly for 2 seasons (I think Paul would probably class it a butterfly 1 these days), and it's possibly the best performing bat I've ever had in over 30 years.

Thanks for the feedback. For me I am after a bat for performance. Looks are irrelevant. I liked an earlier comment. "An ugly bird is usually good in bed".

I've used a silver sov butterfly 1 this season and it's also been seriously good! All the power I need to beat or clear the field, and lovely feeling in the hands.

My supreme butterfly is excellent. The grade would appear to have no effect on a bats performance.

If you can drop me an email on aldred173@btinternet.com I will help you out from there. I don't come on here that much now days as it's far easier the way I work now but just drop I occasionally to check if anyone is asking anything in particular
Thanks
