We both asked for no grade as these were performance based but I'd guess 5* on looks but le le on rebound

Roco, is that a typical Hattori profile? The top and bottom look a little thin compared to others I have seen.

Roco choosing his cleft.....we didn't have the heart to tell him!!



Can one check ping/performance of a cleft (like one in this picture)?

If one can then how is it possible since above cleft is not pressed etc

It's a custom profile kind of big hattori/666 I think

Toe is thin as Matt had started shaping it for use by himself and he uses a 2lb10 so a lot lighter but it has one of matts "pro toes" so should still be strong

That cleft above cd tapped up a dream but slightly heavy pick up if I'm honest

what's a pro toe? how does it differ from a normal toe?

CD - the picture you referred to was a little joke! That's why I put it in there fella!
I suspect my sense of humour isn't to everyones' (or anyones') taste!!  :(

And mine has the special P-TIS (Pro-Toe Injection System) as well!

What is this Pro-Toe Injection System you speak of? Something to do with injecting a toe guard?

I guess you'll have to check with Matt, but it was in the shop as a showpiece!
If it is for sale then you'd better hope that he doesn't charge with weight or edge size in mind!  ;)

Would sir care to try it on for size then?

Ohhh, I may give him a PM then! Do you know roughly how much it weighs (assuming you had a look at it!)... I'm using a 3.2/3 at the moment and could possibly stretch to 3.4/5, but I'm guessing that Matt's bat must be around 3.7/8 minimum....
