ya doesn't seem so crazy.. wonder what quality of willow they would use.. im sure if they are getting that price directly they are still making pretty profit by cutting out the middle man...

the willow used of the Platinum Reserve is better than that used of the LE or the Gold Edition bats......lighter clefts with tighter and cleaner grains.......but believe me the bat is worth every bit of the money I put on it....

I've made a few posts over the last 6 weeks and in looking for a new bat I have just bought an SS Limited Edition over the internet through www.sscricket.com (India) and had it delivered to Australia. I was looking for 8-12 grains, 2lb 7ozs with 30mm edge (if not bigger), grade 1 willow, light balanced pick up ... Specifications included LH = handle 32cm top to shoulder and LB = bat blade shoulder to toe 58cm and white grip. Current bat is 2lb 5ozs 30mm edge and 84.5cm length (29cm handle/55.5cm blade). With specifications I got what I ordered except the bat has 14 grains not 8-12 grains, SS advised weight would be between 2lbs 9ozs-2lb 10ozs and it feels no more than 2lb 7ozs- 2lb 8ozs and it has 40mm edge. Aesthetically, SS could brand/burn TON on the bat rather than using stencil/ink and look at having a better finish to the toe of the bat (from end on) by sanding it off to a finer finish. With things in perspective, for what I have paid for bats in the past and what I paid for this SS - this SS really is in a league of it's own at this point in time. If it performs as well as I suspect then I will be one very happy customer. Pics to come.
