Morning all. Not shared much regarding Willow and Wand recently which if I’m honest is mainly due to the fact that engagement vs time to upload is the main reason but thought as I uploaded a few pics of the GN powerspot I’ll do a few W&W ones.
So couple of things iv been looking at since the end of the season. Firstly new shape iv been working on for 2024 using a 1 inch shorter blade/longer handle set up. Just trying to make these as big as possible but at realistic weights. Iv used a shorter blade set up for years and to me they do just work so much better. This has come about as a pure T20 swing it and smash it bay and will be best suited to a weight range of 2lb 12oz and above to get those 37/38mm edges, fairly full shape and 63/65mm spine.
Secondly was that with the rapidly increasing costs of all materials involved in making a bat etc iv in the last years had to move from not being able to offer a bat below the £200 mark using the G1,G2 and G3. Iv still managed just about to keep the top grade below £350 so wanted to ensure I was able to get back to offering sub £200 handcrafted bat. So Iv managed to find a supplier and will be offering a sub £200 bat for 2024. This will be the same price as Butterly and the range will be G4 and Butterfly clefts
