At that price I'm going straight to b3 for a crown or H4L after seeing the bats they're knocking out over & over again.
-
Hardly seen any hawks on the forum if any?
-
picked up one of these bats at Hawk in the winter that had been made for someone and it was excellent lovely grains as well Are they worth the money I guess that's down to each individual.

What's ur verdict?
-
I have to say hawk bats are great, Never had a bad one and I've had a lot.
-
At the time of my vist there was no players clefts available if there had been i would have placed an order the one I saw was 2lb 8 but felt lighter with ruler straight grains the The blade was unblemished with excellent ping and the blade finish was exceptional.
Also If I remember correctly the players bats were then cheaper than £450.00
-
£450 is a lot of money for one bat!

You could get 2 G1 Hunts customs from @Vitas Cricket and still have some beer tokens left for that kind of money!

Ive only ever seen good ones. They all seem to be older shapes though. Curved face, smaller edges, higher spines, very round toe.

ThinK before you buy...
Really? Thought Hawk made them all in-house?
-
Last time i was there, there was loads of unshaped clefts and a press that looked like it worked. I dont think they are
-
I've been there a few times and seen raw clefts arrive from JS Wright in all grades, I highly doubt Hawk get anything part made in.
-
If this helps I have an Hawk bat i picked the cleft it was pressed and shaped Inc handle whilst I was in the workshop watching the process the only part I didn't see was the finishing.
Visitors are always welcome if you wish you can pick your cleft or buy a completed bat or select an unfinished hawk part made and they will make a bat to your specs.

The other thing I noticed was the bats face camber IMO it seem slightly higher making the width of the bat look smaller
-
Am I right in thinking that they made for KP?
-
Yeah, they make the UK pro bats for Adidas and for a fair few of the other Warwickshire players.

Not entirely true that statement at all they do not make all the uk pro bats for addidas at all.
I personally know of two companies that do as well

hawk make every bat to order, nothing off the shelf
there are a range of different profiles available in part made clefts and a range of different quality willow
you decide on the profile/shape and the quality of willow and tap up as many clefts as you like until you find the one you want them to make into your bat
its a great experience and they make great bats
the only actual finished bats in there workshop were pro bats waiting to go out

I have one in for repair at the moment, will get some photos up later. I heard a rumour that they are pressed a little harder than most, so take a little more time to open up. Never used one but the one I have here looks and feels like a decent stick.

Lad in our 2s has a lower grade model and it goes very well when he manages to hit one.
Is Hawk anything to do with what used to be Baronet bats?

Yes, Bernie went to work there. Only Hawk I've seen had been pressed to within an inch of its life (similar to how Baronets used to be)
