Title: Low Density Custom Pro
Post by: JB on January 14, 2017, 04:41:36 PM
This is the partner in crime to Chads G2. Thanks to @simonmay5 for making me aware of it and of course Matt for making it!

Its very similar in shape to the Matt Coles shaped Custom that I have. They are more or less the same size too. Only difference is that the original one is a shade over 3lb and this one is a shade over 2.12. This has 47/48mm edges and a 71mm spine. Very long middle, pick up is average but there is a lot of weight down low. Little bit of concaving, grains run straight through the toe.

Amazing bats @JB
I need to login to my laptop to see these monster bats again.
Phone screen size doesn't do justice to them

Even the toe looks powerful. :o

I was considering of these myself but it was out of my budget. You must have paid fortune for this.

Just goes to show you don't have to go all the way to Aus to get a massive bat, at a decent weight. Great looking grains as well.

@JB that is a beautiful stick, unfortunately I can't go for such a heavy bat, waiting for my H4l custom bat

To be fair "get in line" sounds accurate.
I believe that there is a waiting list but its worth asking/emailing Matt at H4L to find out.
All good things come to those who wait!?

Indeed they do I know matt had a few people waiting on some low density willow and I can see why mine is 2.10.4 and is just stupid best thing to do is drop matt a message and I sure he will let you know if he has anymore available

It might be a bit old fashioned, but you could try picking up the phone and giving Matt a call  :)

Can someone explain what a low density cricket bat is and advantages of it please
Title: Re: Low Density Custom Pro
Post by: Gurujames on February 02, 2017, 07:01:04 AM
A cleft that by volume is lighter than usual. This allows for a physically larger bat at a low dead weight. (Lightweight big bat).
Title: Re: Low Density Custom Pro
Post by: Northern monkey on February 02, 2017, 08:39:02 AM
The clefts are rare and usually snapped up for pro bats
They are lighter per size, than other clefts
I think Matt had about 4 or 5 out of thousands of clefts
Not sure of why that particular cleft is lighter than others, but, well worth snapping one up if they ever become available
Title: Re: Low Density Custom Pro
Post by: Tailendfielder on February 02, 2017, 08:43:06 PM
From what I can tell, they make no discernible difference, just look bigger. Bit like manscaping.
Title: Re: Low Density Custom Pro
Post by: edge on February 02, 2017, 09:09:10 PM
Bigger physical size should in theory be stiffer and most people will go for bigger than smaller if only for the psychological confidence it brings...
My spam email inbox is always full of products promising these things, will they improve my cricket?

Here is another stunner made for a very lucky customer. This huge bat weighs just 2lb 9.5oz with 45.66mm edges!
