I wouldn't be happy if I ordered Original/ LE and got bats 2,3 and 4

No nor would I regardless of what batmakers retailers etc say.

1,3,3,2

This... Original/LE bit generous for me

Hi Guys,

Just bought these bats, just for a little bit of fun can I have some thoughts on what people would grade these bats? Don't worry I know grading isn't always done on looks.



Pic was taken on an iPhone so I appreciate it isn't the best quality will also add a number of grains if people cant count them due to the picture quality.

Some lovely grains there. Personally, would probably grade the far left and far right as G1, and middle 2 as G2. I'm not massively fussed with blemishes, not a huge fan of heartwood though. Would only grade the left one as an OLE personally, but then again, I don't work for GM so can't say that this should be graded as this, and that be graded as that!

I personally quite like the middle right one, the grains just seem to stick out a little more, and the stain isn't a bad one and gives it a bit of character. Tends to be a slightly harder area with graping like that, and often responds a bit better!

Good point there Chad re the middle right one the more promeinent the grains the better the quality of the willow.

I've got a 303 that I stripped down that looks a similar grade to the middle left!

Lucky you, middle left looks awesome! Albeit with a small blemish, but still.

I think I've seen that before some of they're grading is crazy
