Title: Finally My new Hammer Hel 156 in Collection
Post by: 134D 13OY on December 03, 2014, 03:43:21 AM
Here is my New match bat Hammer Hel 156 Le for 2015 from SQSports.co.uk

Oerview:- I always wanted Hammer Hel 156 in my collection and after surfing through web i came across this website SQSports.co.uk, who are selling Hammer bats in UK. I sent them email demanding Hammer hel 156 le, and after few hours i got reply back that they have Hammer hel 156 le model in stock for £299.99. After getting positive reply i called them and their staff helped me through out entire process by sending me bat pics of all Available models in that range.i am quite pleased with the service i received from them. As promised by them i got package next day in lovely bat cover with SQS initials on it  and When i took bat out of cover i was stunned by the size of the bat and lovely 3D decals and i rushed to my kit bag to get weight machine to check if its actually 2.9 as the Edges were 40mm and Spine was over 65mm bigger than my B3 crown which i recently purchased In low density cleft, But was shocked that its bigger than its weight. I hope it score me more runs this season 

Details:

2.9 weight
65mm spine
40mm edges
Responds beautifully and picks up like a dream
Will let the pictures do the talking..

Beautiful bat! Congratulations! I didn't know these were made in low density clefts. How does it ping compare to your B3 Crown?

Thank you, Even when i first hold this particular bat i was surprised how light this bat felt in hands and has lovely pickup and balance, i was thinking they must have use light cleft as it cnt be 2.9 with these big edges and spine. Compare to my B3 it pings really well and got that crisp sound when bounce ball on it.

Corrr! Off-topic slightly, but what was the BAS originally?

BAS was given to me by one of their contracted player and this bat is pure Gun, lovely 3D stickers and i couldn't find any where around the profile i got, During season i started to struggle with the profile best suit my batting style, After looking at  my batting style guy put his hand in kit bag and took out this monster edge bat with 41mm eges, 70mm spine and 24mm toe, he was like this is on kohli profile(personal opinion its more on Anglo mathews) i scored back to back 50s with this bat as it was huge as off centre or miss time ball was even getting to boundary rope  and he gave away saying  its for you. My B3 and Hammer both are on same profile.

 :o That is a stunning looking bat!
Grains look good, huge profile. I am liking the Hel 156 shape.
I think Hammer may be the way forward for me personally in 2015...

From what I've been told, you can get one a lot cheaper if you're not fussed about the Hammer stickers ;)

Have to say that does look an impressive bit of wood. Really like the shape but the size for the weight is mind boggling.
Top work on getting it!

I've only got good things to say about SQS.  Have dealt with them in the past before and they've been very helpful, good prices too.

Usually the bats with thicker edges and weighing less, they follow a process of drying the wood to more than required. In such scenario the strength of the bat takes a blow and life of the bat is short. kindly knock it in properly and oil it to retain the moisture content of the bat. Great piece of willow you own!

Being from India, people here are more into brands like BAS, SS and SG!

Fantastic collection of bats......all 5 look as though they could be your main match bat!
My fave is the AJK. Those grains look fantastic!!!!
