That is what you would expect from a signature. Looks like it would score you a lot of runs.

Thanks for your comment. This bat looks just different to me especially the grain structure..

If you have to save to buy a bat, (or budget the same thing) then in my view your not rich enough to have it in the first place. Rich people don't save they have the cash to do what they want. It may be just that it's something you always wanted so saving up for that wish is another thing. Life is for living. Spend money but within reason. You can't take it with you, but you don't want to be robbed of your money at the same time, I think.

If your an opening bat or one that bats 30/40/45 overs nearly every week, or twice a week or three times a week. Nets or t20 games... (0r are a sponsored or paid player)  then yes it would be vv nice. Otherwise I see many custom bat makers will be thinking what they are doing wrong that people are not coming to them for the same quality if not better, with a lot of saving along the way and more of a fitted bat, and a higher customer service and after sales experience... I don't know.

Not sure what your point is here, mate? Some people like to budget for their discretionary spending whereas some are fortunate enough to not have to budget for such things. I suppose it's all about goal setting: we all want to own our own home but most of us need to save (budget) for a deposit to afford one as opposed to buying your first home with cash...

Great thread revival to spout a load of BS there mate.

1 - your grammar is atrocious.

2 - the fact that people save up or budget means they deserve it just as much (if not more so) than this with the money to spend without thinking about it. The first expensive bat I bought cost me a whole months wages, did I deserve it as much as a rich man who didn't need to think about the money to buy it? Of course I did, the maker doesn't care where the money comes from, your pay the same as everyone else and get the same service.
Did I deserve it more than a rich bloke because I saved for it? Maybe not, but I know I worked my (No Swearing Please) off to buy myself that bat and the satisfaction I felt when I got it in my hand was hard to rival.
