Title: Hits Hard
Post by: dan_nichols on May 03, 2013, 10:09:38 PM

Thought id post some pics of my new Hits Hard bat. Had a lot of throw downs this evening (less hit hard more swing and a miss) and it was an absolute belter. Anyway here are a few pictures. Obviously the finishing and feel of the bat is excellent. In line with normal Andrew Kember standards but the stickers and the detail on them is second to none. The embossed chrome ridges and the 'American Diner' style logo are really different to whats around.... I think.

Oh yh. Bat weighs 2.10.

I work for Salix on a part time basis and have been involved with the HitsHard brand since the start of the season. Hope it goes really well for you mate and thanks for the purchase. Just out of curiosity did you get matching gloves? What's you opinion on the gloves mate as just trying to gauge as much feedback as possible to people's reaction to the brand and the gloves seem to really split opinion.

Oh nice. Yh i got a full kit. Gloves are bloody comfy and light. I guess its the writing across the knuckles that divides opinion but truly who really cares. They are as good as anything around really. Andrew tends not to do 'crap'

I think AK and Salix are onto a winner.

I saw one of the bats at the Vulcan/Choice net and it was a belter.

Great branding, backed-up by (arguably) the most premium brand in bat making, what can go wrong!!

I could draw you a list of things which might go wrong if youd like ;)
