https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-qAWRcIbMQ/?igsh=c2N6aHZ3b3A3bWhsSaw this new announcement by Aldred saying he’s thought of a way to sell some bats for the £185 mark by using wide/wavy grain clefts.
Which I think overall is great news. He mentioned years ago not using grades 3-4 willow. Which I didn’t really understand how he could pick & choose deliveries as its known you get a bit of everything delivered.
Will be interesting to see how these come out overtime and hopefully perform no differently to other ranges.
I do wish I bought an Aldred years ago but never got up there to try them. Just for the now dying thicker handle sake.
Suddenly bats have doubled in price which you could never predict so quickly.
It is nice to have Kember and Aldred etc all acknowledging entry level prices are wanted by their trusted eyes & hands. Particularly when keeping 2 bats is nearly the norm now.
I am a bit of an advocate to youngsters to tell them, its not what you know, but who you know when it comes to cricket bats.
And I hope these Aldreds are another ‘I told you so’ British range to rely on.
Good to prove you can still buy UK made with love bats for cracking prices!
Let me know your thoughts
