we press all looking clefts we still have glamours that performance is good not saying any of our bats are bad just sometimes the ugly bats seem to be more responsive we tend to find that we get most of our lighter and better performing bats are between 6-8 grains and would probably be classed as a grade 2/3 if grading in cleft form. all grains on a bat really tells you is how old the tree is and generally the more grains the heavier the bat. you can go buy a bat from a retail shop that might be 10+ grains pay £500 for a bat that could be a plank and majority theses days are made in india and Pakistan and ship over for cheap and mass production.

What happens if you don’t judge a bat to meet these standards?

Surely there are a large percentage of bats which you think aren’t good enough?

Not trying to be a dick, genuinely interested!

we have a wide range to pick from and the way we have improved and changed the way we are pressing to be honest we hardly ever get any that dont meet our standers we set. with the amount of pros in county cricket and the international stage using our we are only getting positive feedback at the momenent

My apologies, I am confused. You said that a performance of a cleft can only be determined once its pressed. So how do you pick a cleft for pressing? also lets say you pressed 20 and found 1 not to be up to your standard, what happens to that "one" pressed cleft that is sub-par?

Or are you saying that you can pick any cleft and press it to perfection so that all your bats perform just as well? do you guarantee performance? if yes what is measure of this performance? thanks in advance, I am intrigued.

we tend to pick clefts that are grade one or very close to grade one then we also pick some that we think would be good for our pros. and yes you can press most bats to make good performance the odd one we just give away to a friend or throw away if we feel that its not good enough but not done that in well over a year now

And thank you for answering my questions. I assume this means your guarantee performance!!
