Post by: 19reading87 on July 02, 2013, 01:45:30 PM: I got it mate but I'm in love with my current RPC and this won't replace it this season so whilst I'm desperate for the money I thought I would try and sell it. Just need to find somebody who's interested

Title: Re: Hawk cricket bat
Post by: Spanky on July 15, 2013, 05:46:57 PM: Looks lovely, what weight is that? Hawk told me they state their weights without grips & stickers.

Post by: countycricketplayer on July 15, 2013, 05:47:59 PM: That bat just looks like a run scorer

No, RH but I do like heartwood on my bats. This was what I thought to be the best performing cleft they had after getting the whole rack of LE's and the yet to be graded clefts in this shape out!

2lb 11.2oz on my scales. I may yet be popping in for a weight reduction but will wait and see how it is when I use it. I've added a second grip which has pushed the weight up a bit more but picks up very well considering how much wood there is but I may have about 1-1.5oz taken off.

The LE's are £250

Title: Re: Hawk cricket bat
Post by: King pair on July 15, 2013, 06:08:00 PM: 250 is a bargain for that

No, although they recommend 2hrs knocking in which isn't too bad as I hate it (as do my neighbours!)

Post by: GarrettJ on July 15, 2013, 06:42:43 PM: £250?? Not a bad looking bat and better than the £300 mass produced things.

Post by: petehosk on July 15, 2013, 08:10:22 PM: Hawk quality is never in question so I'm sure that'll be a blinder!
Like the hawk stickers too which is always a bonus!

Post by: mr_wickets on July 15, 2013, 08:27:55 PM: Looks a top bat mate. Hope it goes well.

Hawk really seemed to have changed over the last few years, I remember a few guys having them at my club and they looked to be really hard bits of wood that were pressed loads and would last years.
