Manufactured at Salix. Allegedly under AUD600. What are your thoughts? Personally i love the bats but the stickers look hideous.

I totally agree with the above. Those stickers are ghastly!! I’d be taking them off if I were to pick one of them up...

I’m sure they will fly out the door though, and fair play to IJC for thinking about different market needs/wants. But those stickers, nobody wants, nor needs those  :(

Aus editions seem to be a bit of a trend at the moment amongst the UK companies, fair play, to me the ones I've seen have looked more or less tweaked versions of the Aus GN legend range.

What I can't for the life of me understand, is why you would put so little effort into the stickers. Putting those on a Salix is like putting a Porsche engine inside the yellow car from The Inbetweeners.

Feels a bit like their usual graphic designer was on holiday...

Lovely stickers that seem to fit very well in the Aussie atmosphere and Aussie cricket theme.

They're not for me I'm afraid and as nice a shape as it is, made by a great company/batmaker etc, I wouldn't call it a great price. It's not that it's a bad one either though. Imo tho it just doesn't look good at all. Surprising really when you hear Paul from IJC referring to stickers and their detailing in videos.

Can’t believe I just watched that,,,what’s with the trying to hit it through the ceiling tiles,,do people actually fall for that?
Might have to try that,,,
Aaannnyyyway,,,,bat shape, hmmm thin toe, don’t like them,,minimal concaving, err ok,, but it’s a Salix, so should be decent

Stickers,,,oh my word,,, I can’t see how Paul ok,d them,,they look like a three yr old designed em,,,I always thought he enjoyed the details and effort that people put into sticker design and putting that across to his viewers
There’s nothing special about them, nothing unique,,come on put a bit of effort in,,,or just leave it blank.

Just seems like a knee jerk attempt to cash in on the high prices Aussies have to pay, in time for their season starting
That’s an expensive bat ruined by shocking stickers

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but in Australia do you have to pay important tax. As that will significantly increase the price Espically on a £350 bat

I think they have to pay 10% on cost of goods.

To the best of my knowledge, you only have to pay if the value exceeds $1000aud
