For £400 that grade 1 stick lives a bit to be desired.

Niche Cricket is offering a 10% discount so could pick that Hybrid 1 up for about £350...

"Hybrid 1 has 45mm edges."

Really? This doesn't look like anything significant.

Some are Indian made and others are made in South Africa so bit hit and miss the ones I looked at was nothing special a couple of nice bats but price wise I think you can get better value saying that it didn't stop my mate buying one and they was happy to sell stickers two take that which way you want but says to me happy to sticker up bats

Friend of mine at our club swears by them. Stickers cover a lot of the wood, but what you can see his looks incredible. About 10 ruler straight grains - it sounds pretty good when it is middled. Not the biggest bat, but it's very light too

Were they all 45mm edges mate? Surely Facebook wouldn't lie?

Not the ones I saw mate all had below 45mm edges and even a 2.14 bat was not big for the weight mate

They do custom bats. I know the guy at Niche Cricket as I dealt with him before. Can't see him making it up. Best to ask him for some more pics. As far as I understand bats are all made in Cape Town. They are great bats though as I've used a few over the years. Would place them in the same bracket as H4L performance wise. Still have my first one I bought back in 2008.
