Morning fellas,

Was over my cousins yesterday who live in huntingdon and I thought I would just poke my head in to have a ganders, and surprise surprise I ended up leaving with some new willow

I managed to get a hunts reflex, don't know what it weighs as I just done it on pick up and feel. got 9 grains with a dash of heartwood.
The blokes over there are top blokes and happy to help with anything, I got to see the bat making workshop and the back room where there are just bats after bat after bat.

Cheers guys

Is that hot spot proof silicone tape on the edges

[cricketbadger]

the old stickers as well, I have a Hunts bat, goes very nicely
This looks very similar shape and grain structure to mine, hope it treats you well

[tommo256]

Yeah i asked them if they had any of them as I prefer them so,

[Chmaiden]

They're not the original stickers...have a look at these... One on the right was from about 1990 one on left is about 1992!!! 😉

I love those old school reflex stickers - shame they have abandoned the famous toe shape too... I might need to speak to county about making me another old style reflex!!!

Mmmmm!

It would be awesome to get a modern version of this - with thicker edges on a flat face with a slight bow in the face - but the awesome toe - possible with a little concaving at the top to allow for a really big swell in the middle... mmm

[Blank Bats]

Ahhhh I used to have one of those.

the toe shape is the same as the old V12 too.

now that was a bat.

[uknsaunders]

get the edges off the magnum and the unconcaved spine of the reflex and you have some bat!

saw a vintage one in action last season Buzz - still going well
