What's the difference between the xbow 2 players and the pro ?

there's £35 price difference not sure what the difference between the 2 bats thought which makes one more expensive than the other "

Think the players is a different profile than the pro as it says

"This is a total performance bat with a different profile to the other bats in the Xbow 2 range. The thinner shoulders and toe and extra large sweet spot combine to make the perfect bat. This bat is made and pressed with the professional player in mind. The bat carries Xbow2 Players Edition graphics"

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Yes and they last a while too. When I have spoken to them I have always found them thoroughly good blokes and very helpful.

I too, was thinking that they seemed rather pricey. However, they look very well made, and what Buzz has said attests the fact that the bats are quality. I wonder how they compare to any of the forum brands though? Anyone own one on here, as well as a Blue Room, Talisman/SAF/H4L etc..?

I've got a Hawk and it pings beautifully - about 5 years old but has just had a refurb and still going strong! They are well pressed and are renowned to last ages - mine has a traditional profile and doesn't pick up very lightly compared to my H4L which at the same weight picks up very lightly. My Hawk is on here and is this one but the XBow is a bigger seller than my X10 with its larger profile:
