Hi guys,
Next seasons stuff will start arriving en masse from the end of next month, but in conjunction with Matt at H4L we have arranged for an exclusive early release of the new 2016 flagship model in the H4L range; the Warbird.

Based on the popular duckbill profile, with striking blue & black graphics and embossed stickers that are new for 2016, I'm sure you'll agree the Warbird has set the tone perfectly for 2016 to be a smash hit for gear. There are a couple of nice extra touches for 2016 too in the form of new grips and edge stickers carrying a hashtag.

These bats are exclusive to us for a short period before H4L launch their 2016 range fully in October. We have 3 for now and will have more if required.
Prices on these bats remain the same as our 2015 pricing, but will rise (only a little bit!) from October 1st.
Pro £300
G1 £250
G2 £195
Free UK delivery and yes we are VAT registered :)
All 3 weigh a touch over 2'9 with very large profiles, and as always when it comes to H4L bats, great pickup and performance.

OOOFFT!!! :D

When I first looked at the edge sticker, I thought it said 'hilarious' - But then I'm stupid.
Does it replace anything in the range Jake - ie, anything dropped?
-
Anyone who orders before the end of August can have free knocking in as I'm in a good mood :)

If i squint i can sort of see hilarious!
Matt can reveal if he wants but it isn't my place to say what is staying and whats going.

Jake,
How does that G2 bat tap up?

Ver nicely, feels like good coverage and the sound/rebound are as good as always on a H4L :)
Pickup on the G2 is the best of the 3, marginally as they are all very nice but this is definitely the best.
-
Yes that G2 looks lovely . these duckbill toes are getting thicker and thicker.

The duckbill looks veeeeeery subtle.

Goodness me.

I did say 'based on' the duckbill profile ;)
But anyhow i think it is possibly the sticker distorting things a little. The duckbill that this Warbird is pictured alongside is definitely a little flatter across the toe area, but there isn't much difference really.

Loving the star trek reference with the name!
-
Even the font looks like Star Trek font, loving Matts work :)
-
Wow they look good. Think the H4L stickers look great. I like simple but with a bit of colour!
-
Looks like a long middle, similar to a scat profile?

I hope you mean screaming cat and not actual scat!

lovely looking bat. never seen any bad H4l bats always very impressive
-
I have had 3 or 4 H4L bats in the past and still have a couple! And every one has been a gun!!
Matt always seems to get the maximum possible performance out of his bats. And can't imagine these will be any different.
Stickers finish the bats off beautifully!! :D
-
Ooooohhhhh, blimey, i think i may have just had a man-crisis.
I wonder if i ask nicely enough, i'll be able to get these stickers on my Hellfire when i send it in for refurb over the winter?
-
These do look very nice indeed, G2 a good deal too.
Great idea to start 2016 sales already, we do like some new kit on here now and again :)
-
Is Matt got any new softs for 2016? @Vitas Cricket

Maybe.... ;)

I think he has already released pics on twitter or Facebook of the softs. I remember because I prefer this year's version and there was only one style of glove

Couldn't find any but I'm sure it won't be soon till they're out. ;)

It seems the H4L sponsored pros like the look of the Warbird.

Lovely looking stickers again from Matt. Loving the war bird name and Blue colour. Very nice indeed
-
Hell I like the look of these. A lot.
Repeat again and again, I don't need a bat!

Are you guys updating the H4L hellfire series as well ? Hopefully u aren't changing the profile of H4L hellfire ...
-
very nice!!
-
Did anyone bite, Jake?
-
Jakeus (or anyone!) - the blurb on faceplant says 'shorter blade'. Is this a shorter blade, longer handle style bat, like the Uzi?

Hi Brucie, good spot, i hadn't realised this (unless Matt told me and i forgot!)
Yes it is a slightly shorter blade and therefore slightly longer handle to create a bat that is Short Handle size overall.
Sold the G1 to a lucky young lad this morning @Alvaro
-
Urggghhhhhh! Thats sexy news that is!! Do you know what weight they start at?
-
Yes they have a half inch shorter blade . Start at 2.9 upwards ,however could do a 2.8 if wanted
-
Oh crap!! - really? That's not good news for my will-power or my wallet.
Terrific branding Matt, from a punters point of view it's really eye-catching.
-
Wonder if they will be available in junior sizes.
My son thinks he has found his Christmas present

Was wondering the exact same thing..
-

Is this going to be for all of them? There isn't a long blade possibility?
What's the thinking behind the shorter blade, that you get more wood in the hitting area for the weight?
-
We can do a long blade and long handle option.
With the shorter blade we can make larger profile but keep weight down. The counter balanced handle helps with the pickup.
Junior bats will also be available!
-
Just noticed how ridiculously large the top of the handle is!!
Rules me out of one as I hold the bat up there and need it same as rest of handle!

This is why I want a long blade.

What's the edge and spine height on these?

D: The G2 is gone? That's what I get for pondering it for far too long! :(

We'll be getting more Warbirds soon enough, i can get a G2 specific to your needs if you wanted mate :)
-
The top of the handle helps with the pick up and balance.
If it's good enough for Jacques ...

The stickers and grip are not my favourite colour combination, but it does look a great profile!

May be higher than a G2 if I get one tailor made. ;)
-
All Warbirds sold, we'll have some more soon enough, please contact me if you want something specific, we'll be visiting Matt in October.

I am moist with excitement and priapic with anticipation. As it is late September, is there any new of new softs or any news on new bat stock - either for Jakeus or Matt?
-
Delayed by a week , as is standard with India!
-
Thika.

Received a lovely Long Handle G2 Warbird recently from Matt for a lucky customer.
Remember guys, we are visiting on Tuesday, and we can accommodate things like Long Handles, Long Blades or other customisation requests, just let us know :)
