The usual over-priced Gray Nicholls price range!
I believe you could pick up a Gigabow for around £110 to £120 (pretty outrageous for a Grade 3 willow bat) |

That's not too expensive but I would rather get a Kookabura for that price.

As I say it is very expensive for Grade 3 willow, which is the problem
with all the so called big names. You could get a top of the range SS
Sunridges, SF Stanford or SG bat for the same as a mid-range GN or
Kookaburra and it will be a better bat too

But Kookabura is a big name and it has more value.

It doesn't offer good value for precisely that reason - you are paying a premium for the brand name

boys trust me get bradburies,fusion or laver and wood or even an impala cricket bat unless your gonna pay top price for a kookaburra,gray nic u shouldnt worry about it because there crappy wood and they dont have there master bat makers make them i work for puma and we make some quality bats but it comes down to your perference as well you cant get these bats over the net but screaming cats are made by julian millichamp who makes bats for australias damien martyn, adam gilchrist they are available from alot of australian stores bradburies used by justin langer, ricky ponting, michael clarke fusion used by alot of county players and many english players (im aussie so i cant name all of them lol) laver and wood are used by many state and international players but they dont talk much about them and players will never admit that because of contract deals now dont get me wrong the top expensive gray nics and kookaburras are good aswell but the aulity of the wood isnt as good as a bradbury scremaing cat laver and wood or a fusion because these bats can be made to your preferences and are well balnced with the best possible wood for a reasonable price remeber youll be using test match quality equipment |

i forgot to say stuart from gray nic makes bats for andrew symonds shane warne and mathwew hayden and just about all gray nic sponsored players and you will find soon he will make his own company for more money and the gray nic sponsored players will then buy bats off him

Thankyou!
Weve been trying to say this for ages - go to a smaller hand made company! |

It doesn't affect the quality of the bat at all but it affects how other people rate your bat.
If you get a kookabura, people would be so amazed and would be complementing you, but if you get a custom made bat from some unknown company, people will say that you are a cheap person so you bought a cheap bat...even if that unknown custom made bat costs more than a kookabura. |

They will want one when they see how well you can play with a bat made just for you - trust me - i feel like a completely different player with a bat thats right for me

So saad, you'll be worrying what everyone else thinks about your bat
even though you know it is perfect for you, and even though you are
smashing the bowling all over the place with it, it still won't be any
good because it doesn't have famous stickers on it?
Bizarre. |

yous seriously understand and saadandvanced youv got no idea you get a bradbury in australia and people wont shut up about how good your bat is, maybe because u live in canada you dont understand and your kookaburras arent even good there useless fusions are also very good its just that yous dont understand if your worried about what other people think go get stickers of kookaburra thats what ponting does thats whta all international players do, just from hearing from you i can say you would b an average batter considereing the bats you talk about is just what every1 likes not neccerserely the 1 youll hit the ball best with? (thats if you cna it the ball)

Well, I guess you're right. A bat that's perfect for me is better than a bat that I don't find perfect but is still liked by everyone else. Thanks! |

I knmwo people will like my Kookaburra Kahuna and think it looks good, and it feels good for me a nice pick up, and feels good when i hit the ball. Id prefer to have stickers on mine too prove how much i paid for the bat. No offence but them fusions look pathetically cheap |

Hilarious!
I have played with a Kookabura Kahuna and it feels good. I can play easily and I can handle the bat well. But the best bat for me is Gray Nicholas. I've used it and its just perfect. |

Yea, but there are no bat stores here in Canada. Plus, I don't trust any bats in Canada...who knows if they're even the real thing.
