I love my SS bats And i have had plenty but currently using a Heritage and a White Edition RED (makes no sense)

I�ve no idea if they make differing shapes or whether they are all the same?

My gut says all broadly the same generic shape but can someone wiser than me explain how models differ please?

you are right....its the same generic shape

There have been a few models like SS T20 premium, SS Thor with lower middle than the generic shape.

There was one or two models that had spine ending in toe

The problem is they don't sunset the old models and now in their TON/ Single S/ SS/ Retro / Camo/Falcon ranges its tons of models
Not sure how they track all of them
Nightmare for a retailer explaining the differences to customer

People buy specific SS bats based on price/budget, not based on shapes within SS. There is a bat at every price point. Unlike a GM say where you decide on a shape first and then on a price point/grade level, SS is all single shape but different price points (there is some variation in shapes due to being hand made but that's about it). Mostly the different ranges are based on different willow grades and quality of making (better) in higher ranges. So retailer don't really need to explain differences between ranges apart from price.

Seems to be release lots of different sticker designs and people will buy the ones they like.

Wow, would you pay �1500 for this Gunther...

(the grains on my son's bat are better than this!)

For �1500 the bat had better be hitting the 6s for me...

Not that it makes it a remotely VFM purchase, but the 2 bats actually come as a pair in a leather case for �1500.

They come in pairs you say?

Ridiculous bat at that price. I felt even the player bats currently at 650 GBP are crazy price and this is more than double. I have used lots of SS bats around 100 GBP and most have been guns irrespective of grains/look. Unless one wants to buy for look, for performance/scoring runs/hitting sixes, most SS bats under 100 or 200 are just fine.

So you a leather case which holds 2 bats, you get a premium one, the one with the rainbow coloured stickering, and another with gunmetal ish stickers, which is a lower grade bat. It's still absolutely bonkers, you could get full kit plus 3 G1 bats (maybe even 4) from some manufacturers.
