I was always a fan of the Insignia LE from this era. Had a huge spine for the time. I'd love to see Hunts with a bigger market share and re-release these stickers on some bats. I'd get one!

If he can't, then Martin Berrill could.

He's based in Gloucester - at one time 9 out of 11 players in the local leagues would be using Hunts bats sourced/made by him.

He can be a bit grumpy, but if you buy a Hunts from him....

That one is 2lb 12oz.

Tony can definitely make that shape, as he has for me in the past...

That was a Grade 2 willow bat about 4 years ago, and cost £115 plus P&P.....!

MArtin Berrill made mine back in the early 90s! bought 3 off him.  wasnt the thing with the reflex that it had a hole drilled through the middle to get a bigger bat for the same weight???  Or am i just imaginging that?  I've never had the nerve to cut one in 2...millichamp style!

That's exactly how it was supposed to work. The HC Turbo did the same thing, and the stickers on that featured a drill bit.

Yes it had a hole drilled from the splice downwards. VK Sports in Ealing used to a sectioned Reflex on display so you could see the hole.

I think the drilling of the hole came from baseball bats ?
