Obviously there are a lot of bats out there. Graded differently, some can be Grade 1 Willow, some can be "Performance" Willow. This is a thread ranking Bats in terms of Price and Grade of bat, to get the most value out of your money.
Starting off, if I have any information wrong please correct me. All pricing in Australian Dollars.
Australian Stores:
JPGavan:
JPGavan Tormentor Test - $250 - "Made from the grade 1 English Willow based on performance rather than looks" - This one must be on special. Seeing as it is the same price as the one below.
JPGavan Tormentor Elite - $250 - "Made from the finest grade 1 English Willow" - Thinking this one may looks nicer due to not being based on performance.
JPGavan Tormentor Pro - $215 - "Performance Grade English Willow" - Cheaper alternative, not Grade 1 Willow. Also not available yet.
As for Australia I am not sure what other stores have cheap good bats. If you would like to contribute please do so.
Other Stores:
Hammer
Hammer Hel 156 Core - $317.63 - "Handmade in England with performance grade English willow" - This is the bat I currently own (2013 version). Obviously $67.63 price comparison to the above Tormentor Test which is also Grade 1.
Hammer Koning LE - $317.63 - "The Koning LE will be G1 English Willow" - Same as above except for G1 instead of Performance. Obviously with these there is shipping costs to Australia.
Few other bats from the above company, they just have different profiles and will do a little more investigating before I put some of the others up.
If you would like to add anything, please reply and I will edit it into the post
