Hi, welcome to the forum! :) Hope you enjoy your stay here, and end up with many more bats than you need. ;)

My opinion is based on many Hunts County bats and only 1 CF bat. In my opinion, Hunts make excellent bats for fantastic prices. CF, at least the one I saw, was an amazing one, a little pricier than Hunts, and took a while to play in apparently, but very high quality.

You can get a G1 custom made Hunts County bat for £165 via Vitas Cricket, who I recommend highly, which will save you around £120 compared to the CF Heritage. He has a good relationship with Tony at Hunts, so will make sure you get a good one!

Agree with Chad. Go through Jake @ Vitas and he'll see you get a beauty from Hunts County

Charlie does some excellent bats. Top three in our league uses them.

Hunts do too and Vitas will see you right.

Sponsored by two separate companies? You must be something special mate.

Is it a proper sponsorship or XX% off if you buy a kit bundle??

I think we all know the answer to this... The amount of blanket emails I get each day which have blatantly been sent to every company going just trying to get a discount for no real reason is appalling IMO.

My favourite so far was the father of a 14 year old who had played in 2 county matches and was demanding a full set of free kit as well as 50% off all other purchases - where do people get these ideas from?!

The % off will based on RRP. I very much doubt the price Jake gets is remotely close to the official RRP which will be much higher.

I am not aware of too many sponsorships given out by County, even locally. That's not to say they don't offer them of course.

If you are looking for a custom bat from Hunts made to your spec i am happy to help :)

Still don't get how Hunts 'shelf' bats can be £225 when customs are £165? Surely you'd just ask for a custom like the shelf bat?

That's only through Jake - if you went there directly you'd pay the higher amount, not many people are aware of the custom bats through Jake I imagine!

Tony offered me 40% on my county experience and the fact I know, and work with, one of his best mates sons.

Really top bloke and great bats - in fact I'd ask for another but I'm scared I got too much last time. Don't want to push it. :-[

Not often I feel bad on this front. Should show you what a fantastic bloke he is.
