your product  your prices  mate but 350quid is not very cheap  for Joe Public.

This is no comment on quality just the perception of "very cheap" from an average punters point of view.

Ok in context cheap for the quality of willow i find it very cheap for a cricket bat of that quality made to your EXACT spec yes i find it rather good value.

We could talk about our USP and go round in circles i hope people like what we do.

Is 100 pound butterfly for a bespoke UK made cricket bat cheap for the Uk market??

Nothing to hide and don't mind sharing the reasons. Got my hands full at the minute (literally) 4 month old sleeping baby and keeping a 4 and 6 year old entertained.... Makes making bats seem easy.

Will hopefully get back on tonight, this will postpone my a post that I was going to do on Pressing.

What do people want to learn about pressing or prices?

Streaky

I stocked up on bats when willow was cheap last year. Let's hear about pressing. Also, are you guys thinking about a performance index like the pick up index based on performance grading you mentioned in previous thread?

Top looking ,Low density willow very hard to find!!

2-7 40mm edges mmmm

I believe Crown in an exclusive edition, a limited run and hence expensive, Joe Public like me can buyer cheaper grade. I'll only be concerned about a company if they are unable to offer options (which still perform well) in lower grades.  Dave I am waiting for that Butterfly option eagerly.

Pressing offcourse, Price is very subjective and depends on what an individual wants to pay or how much a company wants to charge for an item after calculating all their costs and a %age of profit.

Please don't use the term Joe Public I'm a working class lad from a council estate mate I'm about as joe public as you can get.

A few crown have sold to all kinds of people from millionaire to a lad I personally know who saved up for over a year to buy one.

I'm trying to sort a package deal out with a net bat offer because of course 500 pound for a cricket ha is expensive and last thing I would hate is old water damaged ball at nets breaking my bat.

I like butterfly and at our price are a very good option hopefully this season we will have a few more in lower densities.

Don't like the shape myself but that is a lovely looking bat Dave.  Find me a gem please  

[procricket]

That's similar, bit more in the toe for  the slog sweep needed for me. Is it yours?

[procricket]

Yes mate made from a 350 with a slight butterfly in the back pal.

Looks huge

[procricket]

Thats what you get from a 350 cleft mate i keep telling people there massive for the weight this was downgraded too to a 3 stripe due to the mark on the back.

Joe Public refers average or common  or not so rich. Nothing wrong with the term. Good looking bats those  crowns and similar  specimens  are on offer  from others. As I said  your products  your pricing but I just can't  agree with the whole value bit with top if the range bats. I guess the margins are better which then allows for bargains on the lower end which for joe public can only be a good  thing.

[ProCricketer1982]

Sent those pics of the bat I'd like copied. 2.8 is the weight. I could post it off to you guys if needed as the season is ages away still.
