SLX and Supernatural are both Round face bats

Good stuff the way it should be some beauty's there to be had

The new HH softs are excellent really nice and at great price point. Really glad that the retailers seem to really like the HH range and will give great access to customers for amazing handmade bats made to same high standards as Salix at a cheaper price point.

Those if finite clefts look amazing Asad I think people will struggle to find nicer blades anywhere. Lovely selection Asad.

Soulman 1012 should be able to answer this

I was told by Andrew that we will receive few from each model before Christmas and rest after that. Can't wait to see the end product.

I think that is a very very bold statement and im sure a few forum sponsor will have something to say about that ....

He is entitled to his opinion and to be fair, some of those clefts look magnificent...

[GarrettJ]

of course he is but he has connections with Salix. I personally have 10 bats better than that and have seen BB, B3, Aldred and Red Ink post bats better looking than them ....... off course that's my opinion and may not be mirrored by others.

Anyway, this forum needs to make its mind up ...........

2 of those bats have heartwood on them .... so are they grade 3 or 4 or do the people on here know better than the top batmakers and international players?

No it doesn't - we can all air our opinions subject to the rules of the forum - that's the joy of having a discussion based forum.

Unless of course people have an axe to grind, then it just get's boring!

Asad - before pestering you and my bank manager, what are the price points for these bats?
Thanks add KR.

I'll add these to our web site very soon, any particular one you are after.
Members can chose any of these clefts and have their bat made in their weight.

Yes I do have a connection to Salix through Hitshard but as you will see from my collection of willow I own many bats and see many many clefts on a weekly basis, I can say that you would not find many better clefts because in my opinion that's true, you may find equally nice clefts but the reason Salix is held in such high regard is how they turn lovely clefts into amazing bats, there are in my opinion only a couple of people in this country that are able to produce a bat as good as Kember. And by that statement I mean the whole of the bat making process from finish and appearance to pressing and performance, this has been achieved over a long period of time and there are many very talanted people on this forum that in time I'm sure will be as good and indeed im happy to use there product as well.

I have just deleted my reply as I saw your reply and it says basically the same what I was going to say. In my view Andrew and Tim are the top bat makers in UK.

Soulman, a very very good reply. I have to agree Salix bats are very very good, ive dealt with Andrew and Vicky before and they are great. I believe their bats are on par with MH and the mysterious TK. just to be clear, I was basing my point on looks of the cleft rather than performance/finished bats.
