Hi Raj
Have you tried giving them a call?
To be fair today is only the 8th and it's the height of the season - that said we are all impatient when new willow has been ordered!
-
I had spoken to Matt twice before I placed the order !!
and both the time the call was answered and i placed the order soon after the last call with Matt i processed the payment and request for an extra grip and photo of few bats and i can choose one from that ( via email). I did not get a reply for that email.
I have tried to reach them yesterday and today and no luck ( no answer) however I did get a text message from them yesterday saying i ll send you the photos ASAP and did not get one yet!
Am I being impatient ? i just wanted to know when it will come so that I can plan ?
-
I just got a reply from Matt with two choices! i guess i was a little impatient !!
I trying to upload the photo so that i can choose.
Cheers
Raj
-
So you've had no response since the response you received yesterday...
Give Matt a chance, it's the middle of June and I can tell you for nothing he's incredibly busy at the moment
-
You are safe nothing to worry, they have excellent reputation.
-
Hi All, I did get a reply from Matt today.
They are perfect , just that i was a little impatient !!
please look at the two options of bat and let me know which one i should choose.

One in the left for me.
-
@raja.b , what grade are theses clefts?
-
Grade 2 !!
what do you think ?
should I upgrade ?
Cheers
Raj
-
Knots are cosmetic and shouldn't affect durability or performance , and I like heartwood which would influence my decision
-
What makes them grade 2
-
One on the right is beautiful! Lots of character.

Gave me the night of my life and never called me again
-
One on the right, perfect amount of heart wood for a right hander, a knot won't effect the performance of the blade at all
-
if you look past the blemishes, the grains are nice on the right one. Like a bit of heartwood
-
Grade 2 !!
what do you think ?

Raj
Wow. I thought they were lower grade than that.
How much are you paying?
-
Just a note to say that these bats are also Grade 2! The three on the left - are they the same grade as the ones in the photo?
I'm sure the H4L ones respond brilliantly but even so....

I don't particularly like the look of either of them but I am far too fussy when it comes to how my bats look cosmetically. IMO I'd go for the one on the right if you are definitive you're getting one or the other as if you go past blemishes and heartwood on the right handers outside edge, the grains look predominantly straight and I'm sure with H4L it'll play very nicely indeed.
Just think of it all stickered up and looking pretty! What kind of price point are you looking at for the G2 mate?

Chris
You're back
-
Wrong account. Meant to have posted that from my personal one - didn't see was logged in on the IJC one. That post was purely personal and nothing to do with IJC - apologies!
I'm sure every forum sponsor could show you a G2 which looks a million times better than those two options. A little unusual because H4L G2 bats usually look brilliant!

Chances are, it wasn't the night of her life..........
-
Crikey! Those boss? Stickers are shocking
Look like something my 4yr olds done at pre school
Shame as the bats don't look too bad for grade twos
I'd have either of those two h4l grade twos, guaranteed performance and uk made
What's not to like
-
Chances are, it wasn't the night of her life..........
No idea why then. Went with the "Extra Special" food range in Sainsburys instead of own brand.
Can't please everyone mate
-
Bat on the right for me
-
Guaranteed performance from the Boss sticks, UK made also and much better looking willow! But you are right the h4l bats will still go well

You do nibble easily, would love to face your bowling

I got one more option now from Matt and I kinda like this more!!
what do you suggest

-
is this a grade 2 also? if so i would definatly take this one.. beautifull looking bat
-
Thats the one! SORTED!
-

I'd love to be stood at slip with him batting! 🎣🎣🎣
-
If you don't get that grade 2 I will. Those Boss stickers are pants, H4L grade 2 also cheaper than the Boss sticks too. No competition in my mind.
-
definitely the last one, lovely looking blade
-
Who cares what it looks like. Just ask the bat maker which responds best.

What do you suggest? Get on the phone/email/carrier pigeon and tell Matt you want that. Even the ugly grain h4l bats will be pressed and made by a superb bat maker
Now you have an option on a nice looking one too.
We all know it on here we can't all be wrong!
This thread is looking like another success for hell for leather.
Get off here on book that.
Amazing the power of a great product, good customer service. WIN all round
:)

One minute your raving about H4L being best thing under the sun and now you're hijacking a H4L thread advertising boss bats on your personal account 😂😂 bloody hell
-
Raj -apologies for the slow replies, unfortunately I am the only one at the worshop making bats and general day to day business at h4l , most days are long at present to meet the high demand for our product so answering the phone and replying to emails are slow at present as most of the time machinery is running ! Once again apologies I am doing my best to get it sorted and sent out as frustrating as it may be .
Regards
Matt

I agree it's poor form, the tantrums you guys have chucked when anyone is critical at all and now your advertising in the H4L section..
-
all this thread needs now is someone to decide "hang on, there's a bandwagon thing going against ijc again, I better post an anti bandwagon posts to get some likes", and it'll be just like every other ijc thread that gets locked.
-
Not sure of bandwagons but certainly seems to be a repeating theme.
-
Bit of a cheap shot by IJC.
That second pic of the G2 looks awesome.
-
Do better looking bats score more runs or do you simply put ur faith into the bat maker supplying you with it?
I know I'd rather have a minger (not that either of the 3 options are) that goes like that clappers any Friday night of the week!
-
One minute your raving about H4L being best thing under the sun and now you're hijacking a H4L thread advertising boss bats on your personal account 😂😂 bloody hell
They don't even sell H4L anymore.......

Can we just delete this entire thread and move on?

Dammit, did I bring my Saturday match pitchfork out for nothing? If I knew there was only a small chance of a witch hunt I'd have brought my net/wet weather pitchfork to save damaging my favourite.
-
@ Matt - Thanks for the help!
My apologies if I had been rushing you, I am very happy with the choice you have provided me !
Much appreciated!
Cheers
Raj
PS : Edited the Subject of this Tread !!
-
Looks like I am minority but I prefer one on the left. After the finishing will look good, don't have to worry on performance.
-
Just on the IJC thing, out of fairness I've just been to their website and their grade 2 boss is £30 more than a H4L grade 2 and only available in one weight so surely it's a pointless comparison from Chris?
It's very limited off the shelf vs handmade to spec. No comparison to made really.

This whole thread is just nonsense really...
4 pages of it to be precise :-[

100% agree, WHen i saw it go live i thought a page maybe 1.5... this is ridiculous

Raja just wanted a bit of advice from the forum probably a bit frustrated as well not heAring from Matt.

@justnotcricket86 exactly my point bro 😂😂

HI Buddy,
I had a call with Matt yesterday and today, he is genuinely busy and has respond to all my request and actually very please with his service.
I am sure, he will contact you , send a text as he doesn't hear the phone as there are machines running all the time !!
I hope this helps.
I am loving the process of looking at my bat getting ready !!
Cheers
Raj

Hi Matt,
Trust you are well.
First I have say a big thanks for the great bat ! it feels amazing and I love the pick up and I especially loved the sound of the bat.
To summarise my experience on how did the bat and I performed in the first match.
(I did knock the bat as much as I could and played 15 yards for 30 mins and knocked with ball for 2 hrs.)
The first match ball I faced was a cracking shot on the cover over the fielder landing very close to the boundary !!! that felt great!
I ended up scoring 24 not out int 8 balls ( 5 Boundaries across the ground)
I thought it would be a bit heavy for me but the pickup was sweet, I know i need to knock it better to make sure i take care of the willow.
For the record i wanted to score 1s and 2s as i did not wanted to ruin the bat but eventually played all my fav strokes and had a Hell Fire Time at the match today.
Thanks a lot again.

What bat is this @raja.b

When you hit the ball you will find the marks the bat !!! walking Wicket !! not sure how many time you had a chance to do that !!
btw ... i hit 5 boundaries ( the first match ball i faced was a hit over the covers for a boundary )

You're clearly new around here, bats are to be bought, admired for their looks and then sold on for a loss. Actually using them just isn't a done thing on CBF ;)

Wait, what? We're supposed to use them?! Vicious rumours - surely!
On another note, Raja.b your bat looks lovely all stickered up and ready to go! I've always been a fan of what H4L do and their work but never taken the plunge sadly myself. :(
-
Looks lovely, especially since you seem to have got a few off the middle

Loved the bat, I got to knock it more !! just to be sure.

Had a tempting Bowler in the last match we played. I will not say he was a gr8 bowler but still I had to connect 4 Boundaries in that over was good Fun.
I also loved the sound with i hot them in the sweet spot !!!
Gr8 bat and maker , highly recommend them !!

Chances are, it wasn't the night of her life..........
And perhaps it wasnt a 100% girl either.

Yes H4L make awesome bats. How you get on this week. Any commentary on your shots lol

Well you have to believe me here, I did play last week and scored another quick 32 runs , not sure how many balls but i did strike the first ball to the fence.
I love the bat, i feel it take longer to knock it more than what i suspected, may be its bcoz of soft willow and require more knocking in !!

Might be a lucky bat for you. I'm really impressed by H4L and really tempted but got 2 bats which are going good for me. So next season hopefully.
