Professionals spotted using Butterfly Willow
« on: December 05, 2022, 02:59:05 PM »
Firstly, I could have sworn there was a topic around something like this before, but I could not find it.

Similar to the thread we had about Pros spotted using Stretton Fox protective gear -  I thought it would be good to have similar with Pros using Butterfly bats.

Feel free to add away.... (or link me to the thread actually about this)

I believe this was a Butterfly special from H4L that Grant Stewart loved - https://www.instagram.com/reel/CS98dAhj1Ej/

I am more worried about the yellow grips, they need to be white!

Interesting that WCW are giving out butterflies to sponsored players, do they actually sell butterfly grades in their retail offering?

£350 for butterfly bats, wow

At the end of the day pro players will score runs with any grade, grade has no impact on performance by and large and if the kit is free to them i doubt they are going to mind especially if like in the the case of Dom Bess he isn’t going to be promoting on the international stage any time soon

Can't say I'll be queuing up to pay £300+ for a butterfly when I get one custom made for circa £200...

Yeah it does seem very very steep, I purchased an LE orca last year. Have been considering buying a 5 star Orca just to use in friendlies/ and nets when the balls are often concrete but £350 is about £100 too much for me.

These might be his net bats and a way to promote WCW butterfly willow.

Just noticed they're all stickered up as Chaos which is the top range no? But butterfly willow surely isn't going to set someone back £700 a stick.
