Loving the custom pro.

Is there a reason you have gone for different grips on each one, and why only 1 of them is taped at the bottom?

That warbird pro in Matts showroom was a stunner, he's nailed the pick up on them to perfection.
Impossible to guess the weight on it, it picked up so nicely

And the ping on that grade two of yours is unreal, you did well to dig that out! And hide it from me!ha

The warbird pro was unreal and the pick up was crazy we all thought it was much lighter than it actually was and the Harrow half and half is a gun I would suggest if anyone uses a Harrow I would snap this up very quickly

Post by: Ams4287 on December 18, 2015, 02:50:10 PM
Really impressive sticks and that custom is just WOW

I have to ask Simon how many bats do you actually have (that's a hint for a few pictures), what do you actually use in games and how much do you play a season?

I lost count of how many bats I have got it is a lot that's for sure and I reckon I play 30 times a season and my match gear is the h4l custom range I will get pictures up when I get my new custom of all my h4l gear all together

Post by: WalkingWicket37 on December 29, 2015, 04:37:22 PM
I had a hit with a couple of these today, they're serious pingers.

All these bats pick up very light for their weight and go like rocket launchers. I may have to sell a couple of sticks and invest in a H4L
Title: Re: My new h4l bats

Gonna be a lot of h4l converts this year

Enjoyed our net today and these h4l are seriously good bats was nice to give them a proper net
Title: Re: My new h4l bats
Post by: Northern monkey on December 29, 2015, 07:04:41 PM
Yeah was a good net
I think I can finally retire the toro now
Looking forward to using h4l this season
Title: Re: My new h4l bats
Post by: WalkingWicket37 on December 29, 2015, 07:07:46 PM
That Toro is ridiculous! I really like that bat

I can see a lot of people changing their affinity with ome brand to H4L, Matt is producing some awesome bats
Title: Re: My new h4l bats
Post by: simonmay5 on December 29, 2015, 10:08:03 PM
So cam are you officially convinced that your next bat will be a h4l told you that the ones today was good I don't think I seen a bad one yet all go like a trampoline on steroids lol  :)
Title: Re: My new h4l bats
Post by: FattusCattus on December 29, 2015, 10:20:27 PM
Cam - I would worry if you were let loose with a Toro!

Get yerself a Warbird - you won;t regret it!

Having used both a Toro and a Warbird today the were both ridiculous!
Ask @Northern monkey about the one I nailed back at him with the Warbird, I've never seen someone duck behind a bowla so quickly!

Post by: petehosk on December 30, 2015, 12:06:45 AM
It was a great net! With all of us bringing some H4L to the nets, there was some serious willow on show!
The Warbird Pro I brought is not played in yet but Cam still managed to scare the hell out of Northern! Mind you, that Toro is also ridiculously trampoline like!
In fact, there was not one H4L that disappointed today....and I am still yet to find any that do not perform seriously well!!!!!!!

Post by: Northern monkey on December 30, 2015, 09:06:47 AM
The net session was at dummer cricket centre
Highly recommended

I think it was probably one of the best net sessions I've had
Lights were good, bounce is spot on with bola balls

With the bats brought to the net, everyone wanted maximum batting time to use all the bats available
It was good to see them being appreciated, matt has a gift for getting the best rebound and pick up out of any bat.

My toro is a one off, and it's well used, so for the h4l bats to stand out against it is high praise.
The warbirds will suit a lot of people, I love em

Look forward to a return visit after I pick my bats up from h4l

it's normal that every maker makes a dud now and then but Matt still on 100 percent pingers so far from what I have had and what I hear from others on here. Pressure year 2016 to keep up the high standards PING KING lol

Mine is finaly ready for nets. It will be the usual throw downs galore for me and let it blossom lol
