As fromthehip kindly informed everyone that Just Sport had some Hitshard bats in stock I thought that it would be rude not to go and check them out!
Well there were 3 of the new brands bats in stock, all Super Power, I picked this one up and haven't put it down since!
Picked it up to put on the scales, thought it felt around 2.10. Weighed in at a touch under 2.11. As said previously the finishing on these bats is phenomenal, they are literally like glass. I have a CK22 also and the finishing on that resembles something from a builders merchant in comparison. The bat has 10 grains, slight wave in 4 of the grains at a very small blemish 3 inches up off the toe. Apart from that the blade is clean. Grains run fairly straight through the toe. The response off ball and mallet is really good. As soon as I bounced a ball off it in the shop I knew it was coming home.
I had read in another thread that some thought the stickers were 50's jukebox style and weren't fans. In the flesh the stickers are really classy, the hh is logo is embossed to add to the effect. Like I said I can't put it down, it feels very well balanced. Can't wait to get it knocked in and use it.
I also bought a torque g1 from lorimers earlier on in the week. I'll put some pics up of them side by side when I get it as they're knocking it in. It'll be a good comparison between the g1 & g2's from Salix.
