Well look what postman pat knocked my door with this morning....
I'll keep this short, as I am not one to talk about the technical side of bats, I'll leave that to the rest of you ;)
After Matt made me the Monster 666, I thought I would ask for one of these Hattoris, seeing as it has a lower middle than my other bat. It's the closest you are ever going to get to a Sachin profile that weighs only 2.9...and that's with a spiral. It picks up like a dream, nice straight grains, no imperfections and just bloody lovely to look at.
Obviously not used it in the nets yet, but just had a little tap with it and nearly broke a mirror.
I've not been this happy since Freddie cleaned up at Lords in 2009.
Any questions, please feel free to ask.
Will

love those stickers....i want one!
-
I was after them for ages - they are the only stickers I would ever fork out for and couldn't believe GJ had some. I chewed his arm off
-
Fit!!!
-
hope the stickers are the correct way round ? Bat geeks ?looked through loads of micheal bevan pics ! does look stunning if i must say
-
That is a stunning bat, lovely profile and beautiful stickers.
If you do decide to give up cricket sometime soon pls PM me immediately ;)
-
Think you got it spot on mate, who cares anyway, looks good.
I was honestly expecting it to pick up a bit heavier than it does, light as a feather for it's size.
Please don't let me buy anymore bats from you now Matt
-
Your going to have a bit of trouble deciding which bat to use now...
-
Will probably just rotate them mate...
-
Lucky sod...
-
I know. Good ain't it ;)
-
Love it......
Great stickers (worth every penny all 3500 of them) :)
-
Not gonna lie, i'd rather have the hattori stickers on it. Looks a beautiful bat though!
-
haha yes mate!!
-
that is one beautiful bat!
-
That's one lovely bat! Very impressed by the h4l bats, everyone looks a beauty.
-

Agreed, can't stand them. Green and White pinstripe-esque stickers? No thanks...
-
Each to their own. The world would be a boring place if we all liked the same things.
Looks like a quality stick Will, more so at that weight.
-
A man with exquisite taste. The stickers are top drawer
-
that bat does look beautiful my favourite forum bat for a while this beauty is
-
Cant wait to order my Hattori LE next week
-
Thanks for the feedback chaps, very pleased with it. Can't wait to give it a bash
And Simmy you uncultured swine, these stickers ooze class mate ;)

Maybe from 30 years ago pal! ;)
-
Haha pack it in Tumo ;) I've always wanted them mate to be honest.
Ignore the stickers and admire the wood then
-
The stickers are class! Nothing wrong with a bit of retro and these bad boys look amazing.
-
Yeah alright alright! Haha
In all honesty, looks a quality stick, I'm a big fan of Matt's stickers which is why it confused me a bit, but it's a top notch bit of willow!
-
New guy at our club is sponsored by h4l. First time I saw the gear in person, have to say I was very impressed! Keep up the good work guys
-
I watched cricket in the 80's and all those stickers bring back is Mark Lathwell having no clue against the Aussies. If it's a H4L you should be proud of it and have the right stickers on. My view anyway.
-
My vision is if you pay for it it up to you to do what you want with it...
Lathwell and these stickers are from the 90's.
-
looks vey very classy

Stand corrected 1993.
-
you naughty man Nick
It was nasty though remembering Lathwell and his odd technique
-
looking up his profile on cricinfo - it was very sad how players fall away like that. I don't remember anyone else using those stickers apart from Lathwell! Anyone else?
-
Lathwell didn't use these exact stickers, these were for Bevan and Gilly mainly.
Both my bats are H4L and happy with them, I asked Matt if he would be offended if he put these on for me and he said no, so there isn't a problem there. I think he wanted to keep it ;)
-
Plus - pretty happy its caused some discussion
-
looks really good. nice profile for 2'9". and the stickers are classy.
-
How's this going as I'm considering Matt making ne one up.... Pm with price etc Mr William
-
Used it last night in a practice match mate and it's absolutley flying now. I strongly suggest you get involved mate, great great bat
-
This is without a doubt the nicest bat I have ever seen. Are you able to divulge where those stickers came from?
-
cheers mate, I am pretty happy with it too ;)
Got them from a chap on here, very rare and they don't come up very often. The only stickers I would ever pay for. Does get some comments when batting
-
I think I'd agree with you there mate. I remember being a youngster and watching people bat with these open mouthed. In fact I think I remember resigning myself to the fact that I would never earn enough money in a year to afford one of them lol. The willow looks pretty lovely too mind, I'm torn between a redback and an h4l I think for my next bat.
-
nice bat (No Swearing Please) stickers hahah ! i cant wait to get them ripped of my millchamp n hall n binded! infact im gonna burn them and have a little bonfire
-
No accounting for taste lol
-
Agree with Simmy, stickers are awful. Remind me of R Whites Lemonade.
If you don't know what I am talking about (to young), youtube it.

never thought about that but just jogged my memory hahahaha
-
on the upside these are puma 1's and ive just go the classics. slighty prefer these to mine
-
love the profile. which picks up better, this or your 666? also how low is the middle on this?
-
Both pick up well mate, have 2 grips on each - octopus under a chevron which balances them even more. God knows that the 666 weighs now but is a bloody monster, and the Hattori picks up like a 2.7 ish
Middle is fairly low as that is where the meat is, needs a little more knocking in and someone in form to use it and it's good to go. Hit a 6 last night that flew and I didn't feel it hit the bat
-
cheers mate....i've picked up a 2lb 10oz monster and the pick up was amazing.
