By the way - im thinking these pics dont so the bats justice, stop taking photos from your blackberry and get a decent camera :D
-
bloody hell they look the nuts
-
Gosh! Nice wood indeed. I bet Pete Hosk buys one or both! lol
-
Did i see customdan has forked out the dough for one of these beauties???
Lucky man if he did - these types of grains are so much more impressive when you see them in the flesh. Bargain for that price.....who's going to be the lucky sod who gets the last one?
-
Man alive - those are some sexy looking bits of willow. I am currently up to 4 bats though, so need to resist the temptation! This forum is very bad for one's exchequer!

Agreed! I'd probably end up buying 2-3 bats a week if I had unlimited funds!!
-
How many grains on these beauties matt?
-
Which one has sold??
-
30 and 29 as in first post h4s
-
2.8 bat is now sold
-
SS no i've not bought one of these mate the one I have forked out for has roughly 15 grains, but its still in the raw cleft state
-
Not a fan of that type of bat with that amount of heartwood, not that very long ago bat makers wouldn't make top end bats out of this type of willow and would down grade them considerably. How times have changed although my opinions have not so i wouldn't buy any bat of this type from any maker but others tend to love them but im not sure if they have used them before.
-
2.10 bat is still avaliable

I agree that it's funny how heartwood has changed from being a marked down willow to not being. Wonder how much of that is down to certain pro's using a lot of heartwood bats such as Ponting.
I have a bat that is very much heartwood and it's certainly the best performing bat I have had albeit possibly a shorter life, so I would certainly consider a heartwood bat for my next stick.
-
Both bats are sold now
-
:D
-
Pete you sly man :P
-
A 30 grainer limited edition made by Matt - it had to be done!! ;)
I only had the one!
-
Lol, I feel empty with the 2 bats
-
i have another one like these 2 up for grabs ,partmade at the moment
-
if you want, send me some photos and i'll put them up for you! If you have loads of these clefts also feel free to send them to me :)
-
ha ,these are like hens teeth ! i will get some pics when i go to the workshop,last of these nice clefts at the moment until i visit wrights ,hopefully to get some more of these clefts
-
Just wanted to say that I got the 30 grainer (as stated earlier) and its a stunner!! :D
If Matt has another of these clefts, then I would recommend anyone after a belter of a match bat to look at this one!
The quality finish is superb, so start raiding those piggy banks chaps!
-
No probs pete glad you like it. How many grains did you count?
-
29/30 Matt - there are so many, it sends you cross eyed when trying to count!! :(
Quality bat though so happy! :D
