This is a massive benefit of going for a smaller brand over one of the larger brands. Individual pressing is great for quality control in my opinion, and is a major reason why the smaller manufacturers' bats have greater consistency. Very unlikely to receive a "plank" from someone who has this attitude to pressing, whether it's hand-picked by a shop or not!
Paul IJC at when you talk to I get the idea your just basically saying look I stock small brands why not buy from me

You need to get a bit more experience in cricket bats before commenting on something I suspect you know little about bar the bats you get from the smaller brands
This is not a slur it a obvervation.
What a marketing thread this is I massively disagree I know a medium sized company in England who Cnc and they press individually I even know a Indian company who do as well.
Sorry but marketing is fine but this has gone too far.
Can we see the Aldred press I asked a question and didn't get a answer
