Right guys went to matts today to have my new custom made out off a very low density cleft in matts own words it's the lightest cleft he has had.i decided that I wanted to have the 50/50 stickers on as I have the softs on order the bat is 2.11 finished and has a 48mm edge with a 30mm toe I decided I wanted a warner style profile but with the spine running into the toe .really cant believe how this picks up it really is very impressive and thanks again Matt for all your time sorting this for me

Holy SH!T
-
@simonmay5 stop it!!!
-
WOW!
-
to be fair that does look a cracking bat.
-
That's special. usually all light clefts i have seen are with wider grains. This is sweet :)
-

Holy SH!T
This was my first response when I saw the photos too!!
-
That is a thing of pure beauty. You are a lucky, lucky man :o
-
It really is something very special and a true low density cleft with stunning grains as well
-
Looks great hope it serves you well.
-
!!!!!!
If ever a bat deserves to be on a bat forum then that's it!!
Fair play to matt for letting you have that, cos if I'd have dug that out of a few thousand clefts, I wouldn't have let it go.

If he can let this go imagine what he keeps!! :o
-
I want to know what kind of "special arrangements" Simon has to keep getting these beauties off Matt.
He's had more quality willow in the last 12 months than most players get their hands on in a lifetime
-
I think I just climaxed! That is a cracking looking blade!
-
Lovely
-
Every kit bag should have one of these bats!!
This is one of the most perfect bats I have ever laid my eyes on!
-
Ooooh...... Aaaah......
You know it's a tree trunk when the 50p edge test doesn't cut it it!
That Sir, is a lovely stick.
-
Beautiful stick and that justifies the monster sticker...Go strike some sixes now :)
-
Lovely bat, Simon!!
How high is the spine on this?
-
From what Simons said @InternalTraining I believe it to be around 70mm
-
Whooo!!! Only 2-11!!!!
-
Looks to have a mid-high middle! So does it pickup really light?

What Vitas event?
Normally happens around December, hopefully something to put in the diary soon.
-

@wayward_hayward I believe that Si got this directly from H4L. He may take it along if he goes and if you ask him nicely?
This bat is not a standard 5050 bat! The standard bats are fantastic but this is very low density and in a custom shape! I think that Si asked for these stickers rather than the Custom stickers as he has (or is getting) the 5050 softs so wants to keep them matching?
-

Thanks I might be able to attend the vitas event and the new 50/50 range is really nice and it's a very nice shape as well probably the longest middle on all the h4l bats in the range

I realise it's a super duper low density piece of rocking horse poo. What I meant what that I'm looking forward to seeing the H4L range for 2015 and seeing what all the fuss is about.
-
I seem to remember that Vitas did have some rather impressive G2 bats that looked far too good for the grade!
Plus the normal quality stock of gorgeous Grade 1 H4L bats!! :D
-
I kept on waving around a Warbird G2 last year that was lovely, I like the look of the 50/50, reminds me of my GM Epic that I had a few years ago.
-
I'm just wondering how mad that cleft could have looked?
Just imagine the edge size if it had that stupid M&H w profile! 70mm edges?ha
And it still would be a decent bat
-
As Si said, the middle is so long on the 5050 bats!
Si had a G2 5050 at the last net that tapped up beautifully so well worth considering that profile.
When you go to Vitas ensure you take a mallet or take a decent cricket ball to bounce!!
-
That profile is superb @simonmay5!! Absolutely stunning
-
Bat Porn!!!!!
-
What a bat! Stunning stickers but the willow I think has just blown everyone away! Matt has made something very special there! Your going to enjoy using this next season!!!
-
Best bat on here for a while!
Infact the best thread on here for a while
-
What happens when the perfect bat is made/bought?
Is the search over so we all pack up and go home?
On that note this particular bat would look better with the custom black and chrome stickers on.
:)

Was going to go for custom stickers but my match kit will all be 50/50 so decided it was the way to go next season

Hi Simon
Excuse the question but are the softs out in the wild yet?
Fantastic bat and would echo everything that's been written before! You've certainly got some selection bet your team mates love you ;)

I believe Matt is waiting for them to be delivered any day now so will be available in the next week I would say
-
Thats a nice looking bat mate. Huge for the weight too.
-
Great bat, good to see it in the hands of a CBF regular
-
This makes all my big bats look weak :(
-
That is a hulking beautiful beast
-
I think you can clear the boundary from the sticker part of the bat as well.
-
can I buy this after the reason is over?
