Title: Which bat to choose
Post by: iand123 on October 19, 2011, 06:14:17 PM: I am seriously tempted by the october forum offer but im not sure which bat to go for. i like the look of monster or the hattori but not sure which one would suit my game best (like to think im a proper bat but in all honesty i like a hoik!)

i usually have a 2.9 bat so i wonder if the monster is perhaps a bit too heavy for me.

can anyone advise from purchasing a H4L before?

I wen't a bit lighter with the Hattori as I usually use a 2.10 to allow for the difference in pick-up with it having a lower middle and considering the amount of wood in the blade it picks-up well. The 666 picks up very well, a lot lighter than the dead weight - prob 2-3 ounces lighter.

As Canners and 97 n.o. have said, you can't go wrong with H4L - I am very pleased with mine. The easiest way is to PM or email Matt with your specs and go from there.

my excel is 2.12 and has 40mm edges
my hattori is 2.9 n has 36mm edges

both i my bats have low middles and they pick up slightly bottom heavy. but this is how i like them :D

Best advice on this page really. Matt knows his bats best, and you know how you play best.

have to say that my 666 is a lovely bat, although it remains a little lightly used...
