Love the profile of that bat, definitely on the list of bats I need to try at some point.

It looks an absolute pearler!

Nope, the mechten also has an offset edge. It is not as pronounced though!

200 per year.

This is due to the additional time taken to make the bat.

Speaking to Andy, 200 in total. It is the pinnacle of the combination of his experiments at a point in time. Next year, it won't be a hades...

Crap! That means I have to buy one soonish. Or will the successor to the Hades perhaps be even better?

How come the 'hades' is being limited to 200? It is that a marketing ploy?


In a word... no.


The Hades shape took a long time get get right so that it performs in a certain way. Its characteristics make it a destructive bat.


But making this bat takes longer, so as we can only make a certain amount of total bats per year we limited this shape to 200.

It took me 5 minutes looking at the profile pictures to realise what makes this bat different!
