Would you pay �60 for a Kashmir Willow bat?

roco, we have not said that the bats perform badly at any one point, for all i know they could perform brilliantly and im glad that you are pleased with yours. The issue remains that people on this forum, some of which know a great deal about willow and manufacturers, have simply questioned the grading system used by bulldog and the extent of it's 'handmade' pedigree (pardon the pun) - i have seen their very low grade english willow and kashmir bats being sold for �150+ and being marked as grade 1/2 - considering these can cost peanuts to churn out you can see where the issue arises. Though i doubt this is an issue that is exlcusive to just bulldog - if people are willing to pay top buck then so be it, it's just not terribly fair on the younger buyers with less information and knwoledge regarding willow and potential grading.
We are still keenly anticipating to hear from bulldog regarding about the master batmaker currently in their service........

How fortunate that a new member joined the forum today and leaves a post defending the brand, good timing.

how very cynical - surely this kind of stuff happens everyday???

I have often read the forums but never bothered to reply, I have no association with bulldog, just had good service, If a company says its grade 1/2/3 surely you go with what they say, Unless there is some concrete evidence.

Could you post pics of your Growler if possible please? The Basher is the one I'm most suspect of, most of the ones I have seen look like Kashmir willow and that's having seen 1,000's of KW clefts & bats. If anyone on here has one I'd be interested in doing a swap.

RoCo Da Pixie · « **Reply #51 on:** June 14, 2009, 06:46:11 PM »

No problems. I'll Get some up now.

RoCo Da Pixie · « **Reply #52 on:** June 14, 2009, 07:19:31 PM »

As Requested some quick pictures of the bat

Hopefully this is English Willow and Not Kashmir

bat looks good mate, i hope it gets you more runs! One of the better bulldog bats i have seen. Im guessing that it was sold as a grade 2/3 - did you pay retail price?

I presumed the wood was Grade 2, It had a few blemishes, But it is a 2nd bat currently but i'm looking at getting some more kit if the deal is good, I didn't Pay Retail, Got a good deal on the bat

Three tone willow???

Howzat · « **Reply #56 on:** June 15, 2009, 09:06:42 AM »

No about 1/2 heartwood but the heartwood edge looks lighter because of the edge tape.

And talisman stop being so cynical, if someone started a topic on another forum saying that Newbery are rubbish I'm sure you would register and say how pleased you are with your bats? Same with RoCo Da Pixie.

someone in my team has just got the top one, growler? He said he went to the house of one of the Bulldog team to get his bat (not kieron) and said that the bottom bats, basher, look typically india/asian,

Missing a trick here though Bulldog don't you think? 'Everyones' most talked about batmaker making your bats and suddenly all bashful and shy?? Why not shout the name from the roof tops? Im sorry but this is poor and should be exposed so people who spend a lot of money arent being duped as I was... Time to show your hand

Bulldog Cricket · « **Reply #59 on:** June 15, 2009, 09:19:43 PM »

Its not that easy Jim. We have an agreement with the bat maker that does not allow us to tell anyone certainly in the short term anyway.

Call me and i will try to explain.
