Looks lovely but expect nothing less from H4L. What's the pickup like compared to the 666?

It is a bit more "botton heavy" but most bats are compared to the 666.  It will suit my boys game.

massive bat for the weight - very impressive!

I actually thought the opposite, I had a H4L 666 at a similar weight and thought it picked up worse than the Tempo. Sure it's helped by the smaller edges on the tempo, putting weight more centrally.

The bat is massive for the weight! The weight includes everything ( Grip, stickers and Toeguard) ?

Nick
I do agree with you, for the size the Tempo picks up very well, but for a weed like me, they are all to heavy.  I think the 666 just suits me and my game. 

I did like your ayrtex, nice looking bat.

Ayrtek is just under 2'7, it's ideal for us weeds  ;), spent most of the time netting with it rather than the tempo! Tempo swings well, I think you'd be surprised if you batted with it. My 666 when it was dropped down to 2'9 picked up like a dream so I know where you are coming from.

I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.

Best grade 2 I have seen in a long time.  10 even grains, was very pleased with it

Will pop out and have a look at the marks in a bit
