I bought Social Jnr a GN Kaboom size 6 for Xmas and it cost about $100 whilst a full size, top of the range model costs roughly $1000
That is insane and particularly when you know that the bats in the local sports store are really 2nd rate
What's more, I used to go through at least 2 bats per season and I had the good stuff
Bat makers will be pricing some people out of the sport at this rate
