Well yes there all great bats to be sent to shops and to customers that visit the workshop, they have to be to be approved by Andrew. What I van say about Asad's bats having worked on them and tapped most up on the mallet is that some of the power grade bats absolutely flew off the mallet from ball 1.

If lie Asad you have the time and passion to test lots of different clefts for performance on aw of averages you will find some better than others at the initial stage although they will all be great bats some will be great quicker than others.

I was only messing, I bet they're all top notch mate. Gonna go to the jumble sale that is just sport for a look on Saturday! Hopefully they've got something 2.11 - 2.12

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.

I've bought about a dozen bats in the past 3-4 months and this probably represents the best value for money.

I can see that you'd get some grief for that, rotunda telly the wife works every other weekend and my little girl doesn't mind the noise so that's my knocking in time! I normally opt for the shop to knock them in if available too

Glad people are liking the HitsHard brand and quality of these bats. As I have said they are crafted to same exact standards as Salix bats by Andrew & Ben and myself as an apprentice.

Hopefully they will be popular this year
