Yeah I would just go down to the nearest and get one made there. All of them would be good bats. I've just ordered a new Woodstock, will post a few pics when it comes.

I have a woodstock this year and absolutely love it. I have trouble getting off other players in my team who want to use it come game day to. The only problem Ive had with it is its now broke, split from the toe 1/4 the way up. Though John has agreed to take it back and see if it can be repaired. I had it back in feb, but will report back with what happens.

The distribution of wood on the Woodstock makes the toe and higher up the bat quite vulnerable to damage. The toe is absolutely dead on my Woodstock. Otherwise a very good bat.

I look at this from a batmaker point of view really.
John has some decent bats available I'm sure!

But Andy at SAF and Robert Pack MAKE great bats! That's the difference for me on this subject.  ;)

I've only ever seen pics of the bats on here, but the Robert Pack ones look superb. Mind you, so do Paul Aldred's.

Took a trip to see Andy today, walked away with a Hades fine tuned to exactly what i wanted.  Honestly cant recommend him high enough, highly skilled, knows everything and a proper decent bloke.
Very happy

I am in the process of arranging a visit to see Andy to get a bat made for me. So hopefully it will turn out to be a cracking bat.

I know hes put a few pics on his facebook, but i will TRY and put some more on here. And yeah it really was a good day, really easy and straight forward, would definatly recommend, and will keep people updated with how it actually plays.

Here are a couple of taisters  ;) ;) :D

I love the Hades profile and Andy knows so much about willow (total willow geek) that he will ensure that you walk away with a beautifully balanced and ultra responsive blade! Get it knocked in fella as we are gagging for a full review  ;)

Hi guys, I'm also having trouble deciding between SAF, Rob Pack and Woodstock. Any suggestions or advice?
