On Monday I went and saw Hunts County to have a bat custom made for me. I arranged the service through the lads at Vitas. I had a lovely morning although Tony was a little frosty to begin with. The photo's are below. The bat weighs 2lb 9ozs and has plenty of heartwood (personal preference). It's a G1+. The response is excellent. I recommend the service from Hunts but be prepared to do most of the talking ;)

G1+ on response I assume, rather than looks?

Plenty of grains and no blemishes, what more do you want? ???

Properly full too. Lovely bat.

Am waiting for my bat copy!
Hoping for good results!

@Churchy1989 you saw how well my Hunts was going, I'm sure you'll be pleased with it. They're very effective for playing things into the leg side! :D

Now that's a shape! Proper bat! Enjoy it

Wowie such a nice convex profile

Seriously nice looking bat. Congrats mate. I'm keen on a Hunts myself.

Very nice bat - always had a soft spot for these stickers too :( ;)

Go for it. Get yourself a custom made from them. Just don't expect too much witty banter while the bat is being made ;)

Lovely bat mate, glad you are pleased with it. Tony and Matt are normally up for a laugh, maybe you caught them on an off day :(

Didn't know that heartwood could go across grains, though it was either or.
-
Having had loads of Hunts bats (three of which have been custom made for me) I have to say they are great chunks of wood!

Heartwood across the grains?
