In keeping with the trend here is a little review of my Hades.

After reading a lot of Andy's posts and blog I had made up my mind that I had to have a bat from him . So i looked at different profiles over and over on their site and from others, decision was to be made between Infinity and Hades, some email exchanges with Marcus and Hades was ordered.

Bat arrived yesterday, which was great as I was off work, along with some other goodies like the SAF Sleeve. This is an extremely well balanced bat, when i first picked it up it felt like they sent me the wrong weight but then i compared to some of the other bats i have and realized I was wrong. It feels fantastic off the mallet and when the ball is bounced on it. I spent the whole evening with this bat yesterday, wife was jealous, and have to say I like it more and more everytime I pick it up. Will spend a week or 2 knocking it in and try it out at nets along with the RPC.

Marcus was great to deal with too, for how busy he is, he got back to me every time I had a question or wanted to get in touch, and threw in a free goodie for good measure.

Also these SAF Sleeves are indeed sexy , very very nice..

Now its pic time

Lovely lovely stick! How is the scuff sheet? It is special one so I wonder how it is.

Did you get thick oval handle?

Hows the ping compared to other bats you have/had (assuming those when they were unknocked etc)

Hey CD, I know you have been waiting for this as much as I have been

To be honest can't answer the scuff sheet question. It is supposed to be self healing so unless there is some damage I won't know but looks like a good quality sheet, I have 2 spares as well along with 5 puma one from liam (which should be here soon)

Handle needed another grip for my liking, not pictured, but feels good in hands now after i put another one on and yes it is oval. "Ping" is what is different on this bat, in a good way, I honestly couldn't tell it was unknocked just bouncing the ball but it was leaving seam marks, I can see a potential for a lot of bat speed generated with this bat and ball flying...just hoping my arm heals soon so i can take it nets...now just 2 bats left to arrive one from Hosk and one from Beachy

Thank you very much for responding, I appreciate it

Yes, had been quite eager lol.

Nice nice! Hope it is your match bat this year

Did seam marks heal after you bounced the ball?

Wish I was in Halifax (actually correct version wish you were in TO) so I could see it in flesh. such shame lol

No they are still on the face just not as prominent, i have started with knocking in the toe so by the time i get to done with the face it should be good... as for match bat I am spoiled for choice this year between Hades & RPC plus the other 2 that haven't arrived
