My one question....

How long have you worked for Hawk? 😂

My guess would a substantial fine for non essential business being open, for anything other than click & collect, even trading through a window!!!

I can’t visit my elderly parents & could not attend my uncles funeral it seems a little crass to post about a lockdown shopping trip to feel bat weights... I’m not sure Hawk would thank you for the review.

People are getting pressed that hawk isnt keeley/B3. Why does no one say that when someone posts about visiting Uzi sports, keeley, B3, H4L, Kippax etc

Double standards....admin please have a word!

Possibly because Hawk aren't a forum sponsor unlike those brands you've listed. But also because you haven't exactly come across as simply a "fan" of Hawk's products.

If you like their bats, that's great and I'm happy for you, but maybe dial it down just a little on the evangelising side if you want people to engage in genuine discussion. Just a thought.

Understand it must be tough for them but a bit disappointing to see them not adhering to Covid regs. Especially almost a year into this with other options available and less than a month to go.

I know Hawk can make a good bat, have read some things online that they were no longer custom shaping. Have you gone down the fully custom route?

Yes good bats Hawk, this thread is in danger of turning into bad publicity for them. Closed to the public means closed to the public.

Lots of other business in the same boat for a little while longer.

I do hope no one at Hawk sees this thread.

What happened to ask any questions 🤣

Having just called Hawk they told me they’d be happy to talk through a bat on the phone or book me in after the 12th. I’ll wait for your thoughts first Mr Flipper.

What is going on - are Hawk doing custom sheep now? Much confusion. Not sure which sheep I would pick

Well, this has gone well! I've also heard from a salesman of a very reputable batting brand that people love on here that unless it's for a pro, Hawk bats are all part mades.
