number one! lovely grains all sapwood!

[Boondougal]

I am just joking  There are four clefts. There are two in the middle (left & right or 2nd from left or 2nd from right).

Ahh I thought it might have been something like that.... You right though there are 2 in the middle, left and right.

That's probably why I said middle right[emoji12], I guess I could have said right middle or even the middle one of the 3 on the right [emoji41]

In reality the op should get them all. It's the only answer.

Far left for me.

Both of the middle two tickle my fancy, but I'd go for the 2nd left one if it were me.

The ugliest! !

Second from left.

You don't mind the blemish/bar?

1st left

Seems like the first left is winning.

I love blemishes on my willow, it adds character (and costs less!) 

[InternalTraining]

Hehe

[Buzz]

The lightest one.

If there all graded the same you have to ask why that one is there?

Is it a performer?
Or is it the other 3 have been downgraded?

Either way, it's the one to have!

Depends what you are looking for. Looks, performance, a bat to go from the off or open up later. What's the pressing like?

Ask the bat maker which one he prefers and listen to what he says and see is it in line with your thinking.

Don't fall for, "I listen to what a customer thinks he wants then I tell him what he needs". What he really means is that he's limited in what he can make so can't give you what you want. A long while ago a non-sponsor did this, 'eh fella'?

To answer the question, middle left. I'd expect to pay less than the rest though.

The one behind the door could be a go'er also.
