Thanks for the info, I did buy it off Jonathan and he was great to deal with so all good from my point of view, I'll make sure I don't list it for sale until post #52 ;)..........although the likely hood of that happening is the same as Eng winning this test.

WOW, what a bat.
Just an update on how the bat went today, was thrown in to open, not even a throw down with the Tempo was offered, a few balls later and 6x4's and 4 x6's and 3 singles for 51. The couple I got out of the middle went like rockets, stunning bat I must say and certainly attracted plenty of attention, one of the boys in the team is looking for a new stick and he wants one of these.

Only problem I have is that I would prefer one a touch heavier so possibly over the winter months here in NZ I will contemplate another Tempo.

Well played, were you playing England?

be warned H4L's are addictive, now expecting number 15 due any moment

Christchurch, New Zealand.

You have 15 H4L bats? You have it bad if you do but I can see why.

was the bat the hellfire stickered as a Tempo at 2'10? If so, Matt will do you a massive genuine Tempo for an oz or 2 heavier. I mean seriously big, enough to scare children and animals. Top comeback as well! Wish I could bat that well after 6 days, let alone 6 years.

Just walking into bat with a Tempo can lift your confidence.

Using mine in the nets turns me into a right bully. My son, a previously confirmed #11, has turned into a decent#8 using a Tempo. he absolutely clobbers it where as before he tapped around.

I'm not surprised you scored quickly with that bat in hand.
When you nail it in the screws it absolutely flies.

Have you got a pic of the bat?

You might be right about it being a Hellfire, I was comparing the toe to the online pics and the spine does not go all the way down and it's very thin, I just assumed that the previous owner had it shaped that way.

If its not a Tempo then I'm very keen on getting an actual one, like you say they must be a little scary in real life.

I will post some pics and see if you guys can confirm its profile.

Hmm, the pics worked in preview, any idea why they aren't showing up now?

that's because you where logged into your account. When I searched the pic I get requested to sign in. You need to make the pics viewable by the general public. Remove the "s" from https as well.

Thanks, if this is the case I would love to get my hands on an actual Tempo, we will talk soon.
