Just having a look through the month's edition and spotted this.
Inspired by the famous Samurai sword of the same name, the Hattori is thankfully not as razor-sharp, but in cricketing terms at least it is equally destructive. Relatively heavy in the hand (Hell4Leather like their meaty blades), it picks up beautifully despite a handle that feels a touch on the thin side for a bat weighing almost 2lb 110z. Best of all, it has a middle that is even bigger than it looks. The bat choice of Azhar Mahmood, and we can understand why.
We Like:
- The simple, functional design
- The edges. Big but not too big, and the logo detail is a nice touch
- The forgiving middle
We Dislike:
- The stickering. Many will love it, but the yellow and black just doesn't float our boat.
