I LOVE the look of your Hattori jimba101 I would love to have the same kind of cleft you had! Mind, that profile you had looks incredible!! does it pick up really light too? Is it the same profile as the 666 you had?

Has anyone had any experience with both H4L and Redback bats and which do you prefer?

They're both in the same price bracket!

Oh I'm spoilt for choice.... get it? spoilt for CHOICE? haha

I sold the Hattori last week :S didnt want to let it go at-all but i received my student finance info through this week and my maintinence loan doesnt even cover my accomadation!

Both the bats pick up great, The 666 stickered one (GN Nitro profile) is slightly heavier and meatier though. The other one was just a standard 2lb 8oz Hattori.

I am very happy to add that James's Hattori has found a loving home in Cape Town!
Received the bat today and it is a lovely piece of willow! One of the best finishes i a have seen on a bat in a long time. Stickers look really good as well. Pick up is a bit bottom heavy based on the Hattori profile but feels really smooth when shadowing shots especially drives. I have not had any nets with it yet but it feels really responsive right from the start and gives the impression that it will just get better and better with time. If this is 5 star willow i would love to see what the LE clefts would look like!
My point is that this H4L bat is a quality product and certainly better in performance and finish than many of the bigger brands of the same price. I wish it were easier and less expensive to get kit to SA otherwise i would have some more H4L bats!

glad it arrived safely and you are happy with it. Were you stung by SA customs in the end?

Yup, another �35!! Not sure how but i received some other bats from UK couple of weeks ago and only had to fork out �15 and they were double the amount of the H4L! Also through UPD.

I could have sent it uninsured so you wouldnt have had the fees but not sure it was worth the risk... sorry mate!

No probs mate, at least we've learnt something from this though. I'm now even more keen than ever to get a H4L LE cleft made up to my specs! Just wish Matt would respond to my e-mails!

Has anyone been to H4L to have a bat made?
