correct, only £400.  Having seen the bat, and most of the other brands' offerings in a similar price point, I believe this is very decent value for money...

a maximum of 5 of these bats are made per year, so they are about as limited edition as a "limited edition" bat can be...

I've just choked on my whiskey non alcoholic beverage!
I know I'm a bit of a tight git when it comes to buying bats, but I never thought I'd see the day a piece of willow was described as "only £400" or £400 being called "good value for money"!

As lovely looking a bat as it is, to me that's a crazy price for a bit of tree (that's admitedly been very nicely finished) on a handle!
No doubt this will sell as there is obviously a market for bats at this price point, but the prices people pay are getting crazy now. (Or in just getting to be more of a tight so and so...)

I don't think you have seen many of the 2015 price lists then...

£567 RRP for a Bubble Legend... Pretty much sums the market up this year!

They are dangerously getting into L&W signature/Salix Finite territory...

I've not made an effort to look at the price of the top end bats to be totally honest with you, Paul.

When buying a bat I don't want to spend more that £175, so that rules out some brands straight away anything above a "middle of the range" bat anyway.



Out of interest, do you sell a lot of these £400 bats, or do most people want something more "affordable".
If Joe Public, who's bat that was bought in 2005 needed replacing, walked into the shop (assuming he doesn't have 12 others at home like everyone on here) would he be shocked by the price of some bats or is it accepted bats cost the same as a car these days?
(I'm guessing sub £200 bats are the best sellers, but that is just a guess).

What happened to the Blank Bats motto of supplying the Best G1 bats at the cheapest prices? Isn't that what that "blank bat" was originally all about?

I think unless I'm mistaken that bb are saying to IJC 'look at this' as a new supplier, let's wait and see there price points for grade 1, LE in addition to the best of the best. Although we on the forum are spoilt by some superb pricing from the sponsors vs the top end willow on the high street as eluded to earlier in the thread, there is no doubting willow prices in the last few years have rocketed! I picked up a GN legend for £260 when they were first released 4 years ago now and what's this seasons prices £600 😱
