Hi,

After Reading around and checking pictures out on this forum.
I Finally decided that i should try out one of the H4L bats.
After Talking with Matt he told me to go for Hattori because i want a lower middle bat which suits my play style more.
I was abit worried if the bat will live up to my expectations, because i have a hammer plat ST with 20straight grains and what a bat it is the ping on it is simply amazing.
Now Matt told me he had a cleft with half heartwood and tight grains which pings really nicely.
I told him thats fine with me.
I did end up ordering 2 hattori's 1 for me and one for my brother.

After receiving the bat from Matt i must say the pick up balance and finish is simply suprb.
What amazed me the most was that the bat was pinging better then my Hammer ST.
And it still requires knocking in and will properly need some playing in.
What i asked Matt for was.

2.9
Lower middle
tight grains
if possible 35mm edges
minimal concaving.





These are the pictures Matt sent me.

I will take better pictures later tonight and upload.

I dont know how to post pictures here if anyone can help me il post them later tonight.

Sorry for my bad english.

Regards
Sammi

Welcome Wazi,

Are these top grade willow? How much did they set you back?

[Wazi]

The Bird.

The one on the left is the pro ranked and the other one is regular g1.
I think it was 245 for g1 and 295 for pro.

[farnham_quins_2]

They look nice, but would be good to see some pics taken on a camera, not a calculator as Simmy says!

[The_Bird]

Any better pics of this?

[Wazi]

Ok toke some pictures on my iPhone sorry if the quality isn't perfect.

[The_Bird]

That's better!! Does the bat justice, what is your hammer like?

Looks a beaut once you get to nets would be good to hear your thoughts and a review - maybe a back to back comparison with the hammer?

Thanks!
