@i12breakfree Great looking bats for the price with straight grains.

So just been reading the pages of this thread. Wow. Firstly @Sitonit seeing you mock or make a joke at the expense of someone with a illness made we think what a (No Swearing Please). Seeing your response at defending your response and your sarcastic response confirmed your a (No Swearing Please) so please free to leave this "dying forum" immediately you won't be missed.

As for butterfly willow it performs well fact. If you look at batmakets that have been around a while Warsop for example they knew how good it was and made a lot of bats from this type of cleft. In the more recent times people have got used to the clean, white willow and the fashion of bats has changed. Does that mean they are not as good? No.
do they take a while to open up? Some yes and some no, mine is exceptional tapping a ball up, better than a new GM I'm knocking in anyway. Will it be better in the long run? Who knows. I do know a bat maker on here used a butterfly for 2/3 seassons as his match bat and he plays decent level

My final view is profiles are lovely and in the current climate of prices (most top end pads �100+) I think price is fair

Rarely has any bat been so effectively named... good work RS!!!

The subliminal marketing has worked

Btw I'm very superficial and prefer plain straight grains (as many as budget permits) & high middle

Ping; usually irrelevant as I am usually caught off the stickers at mid on

Well as I sold over 100 on the forum for B3 and I tested many with a mallet I can honestly say butterfly bats like any other bat vary in quality and like all grades some are better than others.

As for my own personal thoughts, many people would use them more but they are picky about looks and it there money and fair play because batting is a mind game people should have what they want.

My personal theory is butterfly stain should be around the middle and tend not to need no knocking in as they are harder but the rest may but I really like butterfly mine where great bats both of them, and I used them and scored over 600 runs with one of them...

The bats on this thread look great profile and look nice, yes the butterfly is ugly but who said it wasn't but I hope they go like clappers. As your a bat collector I suspect you know your wood and I think they be right up there.

All horses for courses but I would have them in my bag everyday of the week, profile looks mega...

PS I suffer from Psoriasis AND IM DOING OK WITH STERIOD CREAM and your remarks do not offend pal.

@i12breakfree if your selling one let me know

I also suffer from psoriasis, have done since childhood. Steroid cream is definitely effective, but long term usage can have side effects. For me, managing the condition is mostly a issue of diet, I try to eat healthy and avoid grain and carbs, minimise dairy and alcohol, eat organic meat wherever possible. There is another natural cream product called Salcura, from Germany, which does work given time. I also spend plenty of time in the sunshine, preferably fielding at mid-off for a few hours every week.

I'm mainly on selsun for my scalp and I'm struggling with my elbows mainly.. Agree abiut the steroid cream mate.

The sun is the best action it hurts as a keeper if I have to dive my elbows just seeth blood.

I don't think it will fully cure your problem, but have you though about the GN fielding elbow protectors?

After I bought a bat from Phoenix......

http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=39589.15

One of my team mate got one custom made for himself according to his budget (costed him INR 8750 including preparation & shipping). Definately not a good looking bat(he was not bothered by looks). But I was blown out by the performance, pickup & balance...just no words.

Weighs 2.9
41-42 mm edges
24mm toe
Full back
3 piece round cane handle

Just noticed that the cricket shed now have these RS Rage Butterfly Willow bats in stock. Perhaps the forum chat led them to stocking them

Although at 119.99, not sure if that's value for money?
