Title: my new monster!!
Post by: deanoknight on November 07, 2010, 07:28:59 PM
hi all, thought i'd do a quick review on my new bat. Firstly i'll start with the customer service from h4l which i can not fault in the slightest Matt kept in constant contact about my new weapon. and also a very quick turn around!
my specs were:

2'9-2'10 finshed
mid-middle
nice straight grains with heartwood
oval handle
decent size edge
with a light pick up
excel stickers and two white grips

about 7 or 8 days later this is what i got. think most people will agree it looks very nice, pick up and feel are also fantastic. but the thing that's most impressive is the response of it safe to say the best i've had and it still needs knocking in!!! sorry about pics :D
once again thanks matt!!!

If you look at 'monster found in devon' in redback section Talisman had his bat knocked in @ Chase. Didnt sound too good.

He said he had to stop them as the machine was ruining the bat or something from what I remember!

It's good on hard pressed bats but kills anything decent.

It's a 5*, so I think £175 posted or £175 + P&P...though if he took advantage of the forum offer, it would be even less, £150, though that offer is over now. I have a H4L, first impressions it looks very nice, in response to your question Big Bad Burt. :)
