Time to stock up on bats it seems

Smaller makers may follow suit as prices across the board gone up loads over last few years

Sadly smaller brands do just follow suit and raise prices..menace the amount of 300+ bats around

Not an excuse but if others can get that price why can't they?

They are loosing out if they don't charge that for their grade 1+le bats

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

GNs profit per unit for these legends must be large if there are some made in India too.

I think with GN the Legend is made in Robertsbridge, and all other GNs are made in India

As far as I am aware made at Robertsbridge: Prototypes and Pros Bats.
All other bats  GN factory in India.

Great for the pros. Shame for us. I've not owned a GN for about 10 years now. What are they like nowadays? When I see them in shops, the willow looks inferior compared to this of other brands at the same price point

Gn legend's willow is something special. Similar to Laver and Wood's Signature. Probably why they're charging the amount they are.

I wouldn't dare take it out of the house for £750 let alone use it so it could be made of "super common balsa wood" for all I care :D haha
