@WG_RumblePants
Exactly! That's the misconception about butterfly willow. What you see here isn't a knot it's staining, as the grains run through it where with a knot they would stop. Has no effect on the bat whatsoever and if anything as it's slightly harder that area pings more.

It's Friday, so no better time than now to showcase a couple of our bats that we have in stock. 2 slightly higher middled Hunters that have that "pro shape"! 🔥
Pretty in pink! 🩷
Safe to say that one of our new colourways for 2024 is growing in popularity especially at this time of the year.
Our Pink Hunter looks resplendent in the summer sun! ☀️
Our Grade 1 or Apex bats are a perfect mixture of elite performance at club prices.
If you liked the Hunter then you'll love the Apex!
As the brands poster boy it's the most expensive bat of the range but still an absolute steal for the price!
Apex - £250
Coming in 2024.... Our coloured range will now be joined by navy pads to compliment the white, black and blue we already have in stock.
