If you are buying a legend you can definitely visit robertsbridge.

Maybe next time. I just want the best bat, i think gn can make me it. But i think can get two salix for that. or even 3. My salix ajk wood wise is same as legend (engraved one).

Could also ask BB for help with a custom or visit Aldred (?) to take care of the remaining options on the list

was seriously thinking this. but since i have a keeeley superior and that is brilliant, i would one get a bb pure edition, custom made. and that im sure will be brilliant.

So does this mean same person makes both Newberry and Aldred bats?

Aldred makes the legacy (top end) bats for Newbery.

 for laver and wood signature, I have never had this, but i think generally they press their bats hard (on purpose, to minimise returns and the claim that the coefficient of restitution is  more, ie it bounces more of the bat and the ball goes further on their bats... but I don't like this feel so unless I agree to void the warrantee or i have to reject this. .

Saw on their fb that they have a new press now, and something like they do different more modern performance press now

Remove the stickers so you don't know which are you holding.

Close your eyes

Pick the bat and feel it's balance

THAT'S the one you should go with.

Agree, but tell me where you will find all these together and I’m there........ actually a cbf net. I fortunately even more spanner’s would love thrown in.
I’m getting to the point where actually it’s more difficult to find a bad bat made from one of those suppliers, or any small bespoke maker
