Looks like I will be investing in some of your finest again next year
Ps I sent you an email yesterday
-
Eagerly awaiting these photos I bet the interest will be incredible
-
Any updates on this Matt?
-
good question - am waiting to see the new stickers before I invest!

Really?
No offence intended, but I'm sure you know the quality of the bats not to be so fickle over the stickers!
-
Plus if you like the profile of the bat, and you know the quality will be there.
So surely if you don't like the stickers then I'm sure Matt would put on last years stickers as a lot of these are quality?
-
Normally I would agree with you but here's the sinker - I already have a lovely H4l and Matt sent me pics of a left that would meet my requirements for my next purchase but...I really am not a massive fan of the stickers so if they're doing something that I like more, then I want that!

-
Loving the look of the Tempo!

Lovely shape similar to my chase custom
I love the toe how it fins. Beautiful looking bat

WOW. That's huge!
Really want a H4L bat but if they start at 2'10 then I might need to bulk up abit to be able to swing it!

NOw this is insane, amazing stick! I really like this, the decals are impressive a lot better than past.
If have spare cash on hand, then will definitely spend on this! Looks beast!
-
Wow that is an awsome profile when are these available want one
-
Now then, Hades or Tempo...? Which do you pick? you can only buy one!
-

looks very nice, how much is that oversized cleft going to cost us I wonder :(
-
Thanks for all the positive comments , at the moment we will be doing the tempo in grade 1 and grade 2 looking at around £240 for a g1 and £180 ish for a g2 prices to be finalised but will be around these prices
-
prefer the old stickers, maybe an orange version?

How long is the waiting list already?
-
at £240 quid probs not very long lol
-
Looks like a distinction :)
-
i have a soft spot for 2010 shape distinctions, this looks very very very good.
Will Davo be using one of these, tell him i'll teset it out for him before he takes on .... he can bat!!
my 2010 distinction is on its way out.... this looks very very good, better than my 2012 distinction.
hopefully it is like those pretty birds, they look stunning that after 10 minutes of speaking them you just want to be somewhere else ........ playing cricket
-
Liking the profile but think I prefer the old stickers.

Old stickers are much better
-
Am I the only one who thinks the new stickers are absolutely gorgeous?
-
I think it might just be we're used to seeing h4l in bright and vibrant colours were as these are chase and salix like
-
I prefer the new sticker's gives that bat a true look of class
-
at the moment i think this is the best looking bat i have seen on the market, like the stickers and the profile ..... im just waiting on one currently un named bat to be released which i think profile wise will be similar but sticker wise no where near as good.
looks similar to my 2010 distinction but a more substantial toe and 2mm less swell at 70mm :)

IMO this years hell for leather excel is the best stickers out this year. So I'm gonna buy a pair and sticker my salix up :)

Where do H4L sell their stickers....?
-
I've messaged matt asking if I can buy some

I doubt H4L will want to devalue the brand by allowing their stickers on other bats.
If the Tempo is a rival for the M&H Distinction the price tag is significant cheaper!!
-
Goodluck getting any stickers if they arent already stuck on H4L willow :)
I they only put them on H4L bats that get refurbed, not other brands, I doubt they would sell them, and rightly so!
-
Matt can you send me the specs for the new bag please sir.
-
Yeh matts just said :( lol but they are really nice stickers
-
Wow. Loving the profile on that bat... Think i need to be getting myself one of these!
-
Pardon my ignorance but would the balance and offcentre shots be affected by such a high spine to edge ratio ?. I love the profile, but not suited to the way I play :( .
-
somebody who uses a distinction needs to comment on that one. I guess it depends on the thickness of the edge and the steepness of the spine.
-
Think it looks stunning.

How heavy is this one on the photo?
-

Don't think you stand a chance.
-

2'10 according to H4L on facebook
-
then that is massive!
-
Are there any pictures of just the front and back of new stickers?
-

Thanks The_Bird.
Don't mind the front sticker, nice mix up, but don't think I'll warm to the back stickers.
They seem all over the place.

Agreed, love the front stickers. Don't like the 2 stickers at the bottom on the back, especially the 'English willow' one, might look better without ?
-
Indeed.
I feel there's to many straight lines with the stickers.
-
i like the stickers... ;)
-
Just been down to Matts this morning and the Tempo looks even better in real life. The pick up is lovely as well. If I didnt have a Hattori and one of Nash's excels I would have asked for it there and then!!!!!
-
Forgive me if this is answered somewhere else in this thread but is the Tempo available now?
-
I think I read somewhere its coming out in the next 3/4 weeks.
-
I'm sure the Slaz one will be in the 80% off sale in Sportsdirect by xmas :)

You're going to get one aren't you Nicky? :)
-
seriously interested, though it will have to go some to match my recent purchase.
-
Remind me? Surely you're not comparing the Tempo to those trousers?
-
Any update on the H4L 2013 softs Matt?
-

you'll have to arrange a net to find out.
-
Come on Matt show us your 2013 softs!
-
Have we heard any more about the release date of the Tempo and 2013 kit?
-
I was told Tempo should be available in a couple of weeks time :)
-
We are Waiting for the stickers to come ,but avaliable to order now .

Matt is it possible to see some detailed pics of the bat expecially around the concaving for lets say a weight around 2.10/2.11 finished...
-

^ What he said ^
Somehow I can't warm up to the super-high-spine Distinction type shape. I would much rather oversized clefts were used to create a rounded profile a la Newbery Tour, so a large volume of wood is distributed more evenly across the width of the bat.
But then, if this one goes like stink, it's all good :D
-
But the middle extends from 1 inch above the toe right to the sticker ... So if you hit it 1 inch in from either edge doesn't matter how high up the bat it hits it will fly with straight bat shots
-
Something like this?
(http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k511/SkiperJ/Roundedprofile.jpg)
A picture is worth a thousand words ;)
-
As opposed to the Tempo/Distinction profile (overly simplified)
(http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k511/SkiperJ/Tempo.jpg)
-
We use the same radial 8" sanding drum for all our bats , with the tempo we have taken the wood from the edge area and put it in the spine. It isn't extreme concaving with the higher spine it makes it look like a lot but is the same as all our bats have . Hope this sorts of helps!
-
Thanks for clearing that up Matt :) Would be nice if you could post a picture of the two finished bats side by side, just like the clefts.
-
A tempo and 666?
-
Since nobody else has answered , I would say yes.
-
A tempo and 666?
Yes, that would be great
-
when is this getting released.
its very tempting ..may be my bat for next year
-
Loving the Tempo profile, though to be fair loving all the h4l profiles. Any updates on your 2013 softs Matt?
-
any luck with the pics Matt?
-
Nice profile looking bat, Matt. I love he stickers too. Vibrant colors. Would you mind putting more stand up (vertical) pictures too?
