Top grade wood is not not that more expensive than any other grade.

Talk like that will have you banned. :D

The only time I tried to buy a bat from you was when I requested pics of a certain model, and you sent me pics of a different model.

the base price will always be within 10-15 pound regardless of grade.

And in truth the base price is before you start paying big name players to use the kit.

That's the real truth the overheads then rocket when you paying a player say 50k a season

Imagine if you did you would have to recoup that money somewhere.

So taking the brand which you have associated with, which you tell us charges it's pro users full price, can you explain why they charge as much, if not more, that large brands which sponsor players?

No I can't and it non of my business as I'm not associated with any brand.

Maybe it could be a real USP though correct size and weight as asked but I'm digressing.

Ultimately people charge what they charge you either pay or don't.

And there a difference really between other people professionals wanting to use your bats and your own brand progressional a using.

I suspect you already new this though.

Was the early 'USP' of B3 to undercut the GM prices, claiming they left as the prices were unreasonable?

You may not have an association now Dave, but this is the brand you relentlessly promoted 12 months before that became sponsors, and then bought the forum...

Funny, I paid £110 for the last bat I bought. And it was made in the UK.  I'm clearly a shrewd judge of how much things are worth!

Bat prices have gone crazy can't argue about it really and part of my issue with the industry

Indian prices have gone through the roof too especially import to the U.K.

Once over it was supposed Indian market and uk market bats but I Went to India to find that was misleading but if you don't go with a guide in India they do try it on but the price in the U.K for the same price.

But as this is about newbery I wish them and the keeley all the best and any uk maker even some I have no seen eye to eye with in a competitive market good luck
