A bit more equivalent to this?




Which is vastly superior to a 404!

I'd have sent it back!

Yeah, but difficult to do that when the owner went to the shop, picked it up off the shelf and said "this one".

(It's not mine by the way).

They do like GM And were told that it is out of the hitting area so it's ok.

To be fair, it does go well but you would want better for the price.

Looks an absolute steal for £160. Do lords hand pick?

As far as I'm aware, they don't hand pick their bats, no.  This thread pretty much proves that, too!

They might've "picked on performance" or whatever the buzzword is when you "hand pick" a munter...

I think the bat looks ok why wouldn't it be hand picked

Maybe it goes like the clappers I thought hand picked was picked on performance

This hand picked business is a load of rubbish makes no odds at all as you can only 100% like a bat if you choose it yourself, the best bat maker in the world could "hand pick" you a bat and it doesn't for one minute mean you will get on with it.

50% off a top end uk made bat you take a chance, it's not as cosmetically appealing as the one I got ( in my view) but I may not like how it feels and Chad could be same with mine. At that price mate I don't personally think it's that bad but for G1 top end others may disagree.

May not work for all the hand picking business but c'on calling it rubbish seem unfair. You may not like a bat but at least experienced retailers will/should pick the better of the lot.

As for the bat, really don't see why people are not liking the look, seem a decent stick.

rubbish is perhaps a bit strong but I agree with Chris. I will always be the only person who is 100% happy with a bat no matter how much any retailer tells me they've picked me a great bat.

So you'd pay happily pay the £375 RRP for it then I take it...

What are model names for Chase, R11, R7 & R4? Lets say R11 is top of the line and R4 is bottom with R7 in middle.

Consider this: If this bat had Chase R7 stickers on and selling for 160 GBP would you have purchased it? I would have considered it, looks decent for second level in a range of 3. So where does the problem lie? well here is the problem (as I see it): Chad paid for a top of the line bat that was discounted, so were the lower ranges, he got a bat that doesn't look top of the line but instead R7 (I wouldn't take it down to R4) for the price of R11, that is where the disappointment is.

The way I see it: It does not matter what he paid for this bat, he paid for top of the line from that brand yet got a bat that does not look like top of the line. If there was no sale would everyone have accepted this bat as true representation of Chase R11 FLC? NO. So then why accept it when it is on sale? other lower end Chase models were also on sale so based on this if I were Chad I would say I got a G2 bat for G1 money, we criticized other brands for this past.

This also makes me think abt another thought that has been floated around, companies send inferior stock (ever so slightly) labelled as higher grades to generic sites/stores that they know will get customers who either don't have a choice but to buy online or knowledge so pay whatever is being charged. Lord's Chase, PDC - Salix and few other examples we have seen.

Just my 2 cents.

Happily pay £375! I wouldn't pay that much for any bat mate not for the LEs, the Player rejects, the crowns, the reserves, the signatures etc.

£375 is just RRP anyway.

It really doesn't look that bad, I get it will be on sale here soon if not already returned.

If that is true Tushar, then it is a clear case of fraud. I know in other industries, bigger stores can buy left over stock in auction or by weight etc. but if the brands are sending their lower end products labelled as higher ends then it is criminal.
