After exchanging a few emails with Matt, I made the trip down to the workshop (even down some potholed country lane) today to pick up a bat and some pads. When I arrived at the workshop I came into a room full of bats with a couple of pro bats including Darren Stevens' and Azhar Mahmood's

After a chat with matt, he told me that he didn't have any bats of the 5* grade and excel shape that I was looking for but then he showed me a fantastic LE part made bat which he had, I loved it so the extra money came out. The bat needed finishing (sanding, buffing and binding) so he did this while I was there and only took about 40 minutes, of which this was the result.








I count 16 grains and the ping off the mallet is amazing, there are a few seam marks where I bounced a ball up and down, and the ping is so great that when my brother had a go he smashed a light fitting

Is it a hattori monster? I thought the little monster on the edge was only on the 666 monsters, or did you just ask for the hattori stickers on a 666? It's bloody lovely mind, whatever it is

What's the weight as looks a beaut

Lol at the light shade. Top looking bat

[Stewie-Kidd]

its just a normal excel but i asked for hattori stickers because i have the hattori gloves and pads now and i also asked for the monster branding thing.

it weighed 2.9 with no binding, stickers or grip so its would be about 2.10/11 dressed

Brilliant stick mate I hope it serves you well!

[roco]

I do love the shape perfect plus looks big for the weight

[Nickauger]

Aha I see, so it's a mix and match of all the best bits lol. It looks a lovely stick mate, hope to see a review of it soon?

Lovely looking bat mate! Hope it goes well for you!

Yeah I am so happy with it, just a shame I have to wait a while to let the oil dry and then knock it in.

The man is a genius

I'd go as far as to say (having used bats from the esteemed makers) that Matt is at least equal to names such as J. Millichamp, T. Keeley, A Kember etc etc.

Support him chaps, a true english batmaker. And a rather outstanding one at that.

There is a vote of confidence for you and I agree

plus his branding is way cooler!

still without out doubt, my favourite ever name for a cricket brand! far too rock n roll! (typing this one handed and doing rock hands with the other)
