ok let me start by saying i am from india and have been following the forum for a while and have seen lot of positive reviews on h4l bats and as a result it was on my must buy list.i saw a post on instagram from uzi sports and within minutes contacted asad who has been very helpful and informative. i really commend his patience as i am a very picky person. he guided me through the process and sent me pics of the bat and i was convinced and went ahead. now to the beauty of the post, this is my review of the bat
bat specs:
edge: 52 mm
spine: 75mm
toe: 25 mm ( it has to be the biggest toe i have seen in a bat)
weight: 3 lb 3.1 oz ( picks up 3 oz or more lighter thanks to the counter balance handle )
the bat i must say looks like a pro grade with stunning 11-12 straight grains. one of the most beautiful willow i have now.the pick up is par excellence, i generally use a 2.12 and doesnt feel much heavier than that. the ping is something else almost everywhere on the bat including the toe it almost touches the ceiling every time i bounce the ball on this. the decalls are stunning as well and has a very good finish to it. come to the service i canot raive enough about asad and his service from the day i e mailed him to delivery he was in constant touch and guided me throught the process, a fabolous chap i must say. all in all a very satsfied customer in india and will be looking forward to more belters from you asad. thank you uzi sports
here are the pics

Those grains all on a 52mm edged, 75mm spined piece of hand-crafted railway sleeper?
Hope I don't see an opposition batsman coming out to bat with one of those!! :(
-
Some bat that mate I sure it's going to score you lots of runs I feel sorry for the bowlers :)
-
The little H4L stamp on the edge looks lost on those big edges!!!
-
woow these monsters just keep getting bigger
-
I am a bowler
Remind me never to play against you with that!
-
I am a bowler too & I might have to bowl at him soon 😜😁

Just drop the bloody thing, should get it down there pretty quick!
-
I was lucky to pick this up at Asads shop
Absolutely huge, but incredible pick up
-
Holy sheet that's a massive stick, looks an absolute beauty!! 2 times heavier than what I usually use but an absolute cracker none the less!!
-
my lord this bat would give warners bat run for his money for sure
-
I am pretty sure that I picked this monster up at Asad's shop too!
They do pick up well but feel just massive!
It's probably the same bat that we were having a laugh about asking the umpire for middle when taking your guard, and the umpire asks you to turn the bat sideways, only to tell him it is!! :o
-
All these monsters bat have excellent pick up. We have very few left so be quick if you need any monster bats. Full credit should be given to Matt. I am glad that all our customers are happy with their purchases. we will carry on improving both our customer service as well quality, need to make our shop the best

Thats a formidable bat collection, Aditya! did you get the bat stand custom made ?
-
yes the bat stand is custom made. i saw the stand in the platinum lounge of ijc and got a replica made
-
That stand has already fallen short of accommodating your whole collection aditya. About time you put your collection up in 'Your kit' section. Without a doubt, one of the most envied collection
-
That is one massive piece of willow. Very tempting.
