Never used one but people seem to say there good bats

I was looking at it too but they don't ship here, would have made a good team bat.

Did you have to call them? I am in Canada and their site there was no option to ship overseas.

Charlie is my local bat maker and only 20 minutes away, it's a while since I've had one but for that money in the perfect weight for me it looks spot on.

Apart from that it looked quite a nice piece of willow! Pinged really nicely too! (they all do!). Did not really like the profile though - felt too much was taken out of the spine area near the shoulder...
