Tease!

[Jenko]

Apologies!! Haha had a bit on.

Well received this today. Crazy buying more bats when I'm trying to offload! But have a distinction so wanted to add a tempo to the kit bag, and have wanted to try H4L for a long time.

This bad boy is mahoosive - it comes in at 2'13 but picks up really well. Rebound feels top knotch, first time I have actually been keen to knock a bat in I can't wait to use it in anger. Just wanted to give a shout to Matt at H4L - he is onto a winner here with these and the finish is excellent. And a massive shout out to Paul at IJC - I asked him to let me know if he picked up a gun Tempo and he was onto me straight away. Have purchased through him before and will do so again - first class service from him.

Here are a few photos - also wanted to note that there is less scalloping on the H4L which I prefer. Enjoy!

And one more pic - against a normal sized bat - my laver weighing in at 2'10

[tushar sehgal]

Cripes, even the toe's got a middle!

What grade is the 'pro' then? (and don't say pro-grade! I mean in 1-4...)

[wayward_hayward]

I love this shape so much. What's the lowest weight for a Tempo?

[Jenko]

Fairly certain the lowest weight is 2'10.

Pro being grade 1 buddy - and yes it is well equipped all over! I thought my joker was a big piece of timber...

[Bez013]

A really nice looking bat, if it goes as well as it looks you should be very happy!

Thanks for the review, Brad - glad you like the bat!

Yes, 2.10 is apparently the lightest they come in, although when I was there, I didn't see anything below 2.13.  I will wait until Matt has more Tempo clefts in before picking some more.  It would be amazing to get some of these in 2.10!

Lovely bat, love that high spine --

[kaz]

looks huge that! +1 for profile!

[Jenko]

It is massive. Going to take the plunge this season and try using heavier bats. This and the M&H will be in my kit bag - just not sure which to use they are both lovely but think the h4l will edge it out due to less concaving.

What a belter!
