Morning All,
Our next visit to H4L is confirmed for Saturday October 11th, so for anyone interested in a new H4L bat, we will be able to pick one out exactly to your specs whilst there, or even get one custom made for you. All you need to do is pay us an £80 deposit and send us your specs via PM/email by the end of the month. Here are our prices (across all models):
Pro: £299.99
G1: £249.99
G2: £194.99
All of these prices will increase in November, so this will be your last chance to get a H4L cricket bat at these prices. There is no extra cost for custom mades...
Customers outside of the EU get a 16.67% discount on these prices due to VAT exemptions. UK based customers get free Next Day Delivery. All customers have the option of getting your bat oiled and knocked in by us for £12.50 extra.
We are also taking pre-orders for H4L junior bats, which have been incredibly popular this year - please email/PM me for prices etc.
You can pay the deposit here: http://www.itsjustcricket.co.uk/cricket-bats-c17/senior-cricket-bats-c18/deposit-for-new-2015-cricket-bat-of-your-choice-hand-picked-p779 (http://www.itsjustcricket.co.uk/cricket-bats-c17/senior-cricket-bats-c18/deposit-for-new-2015-cricket-bat-of-your-choice-hand-picked-p779)
We won't charge you the balance until we have your bat in the store (after our visit), so there's no need to worry if you can't afford to pay for it in full upfront.
We look forward to picking out a beauty for you on October 11th! :)
Cheers,
Paul

Nice, are you offering free next day delivery across the board now or is this just a one off offer?

Ian, all our UK Mainland & Non-Mainland, Ireland and Northern Ireland customers get free delivery for all orders of £100+, and as all H4L bats (in senior and junior) fall under this price bracket, the order will attract free delivery! :)

Will you be picking any Devil bats Paul?
-
Paul, any chance I can come this time? Not fair my brother, the cameraman, has been before and I haven't!!

We can take a pre-order or two for a Devil bat, but otherwise we may not take any. It depends on availability and, in my experience, the Devil bats have been pretty scarce...

Hi Paul
Would you maybe to pick out a G2 hellfire monster? Typical with Matts grading what's your experience of G2s?
Cheers!

As long as we know far in enough in advance (i.e. receive your pre-order ASAP!) we should be able to arrange this for you. The Monster clefts are always quite rare, so the extra lead time would be needed.
As for the grading, my own H4L bat is a grade 2, mainly because I believe that the performance in this grade is in no way inferior to the higher grades... :)
-
I've got a Hellfire G2 and all I can say is that Matt's grading is incredibly good for the consumer.
No knots on mine just a few wavy grains is all, and as Paul said, they still go like a steam train!

Thanks, Isaac! Deposit received. Could you please email/PM me with your full specs.

Bump on this. Only nine days before our visit, so those wanting custom mades will need to give us the specs by the end of the week so they can be made up in time. All other pre-orders will need to be placed by close of play Monday, please. Again, just an £80 deposit is needed for now.

Now that Newbery is done and dusted, we are turning our attention towards H4L...
Too late for a custom made option now, but any more "off the shelf" pre-orders? Please try and let me know by Saturday morning if so.
-
Can't wait to see what you get me Paul :)
-
After seeing what you picked up Newbery, I must say I'm excited to see the H4L bats.
-
Sorry Paul, I've beaten you to it. I had the pleasure of visiting the H4L workshop today.
What I can say is Matt was hard at work preparing for you.

Nice one! Hope you've left all the best bats for us!! ;)

Great day at H4L today! :) Matt had worked very hard getting a massive selection of bats made up and ready to pick from, and I was really pleased with what we came away with for our pre-order customers and new shop stock.
We also found out that H4L are releasing a new profile shape for 2015: the Tempo Mark 2. Same Tempo stickers, but a different profile, with much thicker edges and a higher sweet spot, with weights consistently around the 2lb 7oz - 2lb 8oz mark. Here are a couple of shots I took:

We picked one Pro (the bat pictured), one Grade 1 and a Grade 2 and a video review will go up within the next week or so...
Thoughts on the new shape?
-
Is it still from an oversized cleft? And will they still sell the tempo 1?

Pretty sure the answer is no to both, but maybe Matt can confirm?
-
Which shape did you find the best in terms of pick up and initial performance?
It's a big bat for 2.8, that's for sure! Just a bit disappointed that the huge spine and thin edged shape has been discontinued. :-[ I guess people are wanting lighter bats with bigger edges, so that's understandable.
-
Daft to change the tempo completely and keep the same name and stickers.
Things a tad tight at h4l??
Glad I got one before this!!!
-
Unfortunately I have to agree. it creates a slightly confused message for the consumer.
Maybe the tempo did not go quite so well and there are a lot of stickers left?!
Looks huge for the weight and a great shape.
Hey we never know there maybe an oversized prop from h4l with a new name. The rhythm?
-
Oh man, I swear I wasn't going to buy any more bats... Really like that profile. Any pics of the other Tempo2's Paul?
-
I think I preferred the old shape, but if it's this that meets what matt has been asked for them fair enough.

The Pro bat pictured was actually the heaviest of the lot (think it is 2.10), the others I saw were all 2.7 and 2.8...
These new Tempos certainly pick up lighter than the Hattori and HellFire for me, but not sure if it feels lighter than the NV. I couldn't really notice the difference in pick-up between those two...

Only this one of the face, Vincent: (http://i1146.photobucket.com/albums/o538/ItsJustCricket/H4LTempoMark2Pro-Face_zps6a447eee.jpg) (http://s1146.photobucket.com/user/ItsJustCricket/media/H4LTempoMark2Pro-Face_zps6a447eee.jpg.html)
I can imagine you breathed a sigh of relief when I revealed that this bat was actually 2.10! ;) But if you want lighter, they are available in lighter weights (in the lower grades) from today's batch and (no doubt) future batches as well...
-
We have changed the tempo profile for 2015 , outside of this forum is wasn't a popular selling profile , happy to make one in the future if anyone requires that profile on request .
-
Tempo 2 is very scat 4 in shape. Really like it.

Liking that profile a lot. Going to have to start saving as my 2 NV's are feeling a bit lonely and need a new friend :D

Does this mean there are some Tempo 1 style lying around that need to be sold?!

I think that's fair enough. This profile probably suits me better than the original Tempo (which I have). I would of like to have seen the original profile with a higher middle and a beefy toe, which the new version has.

May be a few but I didn't see any yesterday...
