Alrighty Chaps, My first review so be kind.
Customer service from Matt was awsome, i went to Kent to his little shed and checked it all out, he picked me up from the train station and all, Cheers Matt.
Got this bat from Matt, a month ago at least, and thought a thorough testing period should take place. First, a couple of specs. I asked for a pingy but reliable set of grains, wasn't to fussed about heartwood, so i got about 12 nice straight grains. Weight wise i asked for about 2'8 1/2, not to sure on the exact weight that it is, but i'd say that its about 2'9, Sweet spot quite low. after that i said go for your life, just try and keep it balanced.
A couple of pics for your enjoyment...

Now perfomance and pick up wise. It's brilliant, the most pingy bat i have ever used, i think that might be supplemented by the cricket balls used in the UK compared to the ones used in AUS not sure. Any other oversea's players finding this?? the balance is a little low bat i think that isn't undesirable. Only little hitch is a little crack on the toe, after having descovered it, it hasnt grown, and its quite tight.
Regards
