One vote here for Matt at H4L. Got a new H4L Hellfire and it is pressed really well.
I think he supplies quite a few part mades to different small bat makers.

Depends what you want them for? If you want to sell / use them - then Matt would be a good bet.
If you just want to practice your skills - just some 4x2 from B&Q (as suggested) may work out a lot cheaper.

Thank you Sam but I think £75 is way over the top for a part made when one can buy finished bats in all their glory for that price and below. I'm looking at £25 all in for low grade part mades that can be hacked at without losing any sleep. I'm sure some of the bat makers on here that source their own willow will have plenty of off cuts that they can press , handle and bind.

the cleft costs more than £25 and im not sure what sort of offcuts you think come from a cleft that can make a bat???

im a little confused why you ask what you should expect to pay then when youre told the price by people in the know you want them for nothing? your probably going to be paying a batmaker over £25 for the machining of the cleft, pressing, supply and fit the handle, shaping the shoulders and binding the handle. you wont be getting the cleft for free! You are not only paying for the cleft but also for the time and expertise of the batmaker. its not cheap to do this but paying someone £25 to do the hard work is alot cheaper and easier than buying all the machinery/tools yourself.  youre looking at atleast £50 for a part made. if you want to pay anything else then it may be worth looking at some damaged preshaped bats from MSR which you could practice on or some kashmir rubbish off ebay.

Yep MSR damaged or heavier net bats are pretty much your only choices...

Based on my figures a supplier of part mades in the UK can double their money by selling for £25.00

Could it not be that YOUR figures are wrong?

My figures are spot on unless binding twine prices have sky rocketed over the festive season plus any bat maker on here will know I am correct.

If you're so adamant they're correct please share how you came to that conclusion...

So the batmakers on here buy a cleft, put the labour into part-making it, adding a handle etc all for 12.50?

Well when you get some part mades with handles bound and shoulders finished for £25 then please let us all know so we can all buy them... Good luck
