Making a new bat...sourcing Willow
« on: December 31, 2013, 06:21:03 PM »

I'm getting ready to make a new bat for myself. I've pretty much assembled all my tools, done lots of reading and now its time i went in at the deep end.
Where can i source a cleft with the handle also attached. I've seen H4L do a cleft, are there any other sources so i can compare pricing and quality?
Do they come ready pressed. I could shape and finish (i think!!) but not the pressing.

I would think that if they've been handled they will have been pressed.

Red Ink, H4L and Blankbats have been offering G3 for around the £55-65 mark.
