Guys, I was lucky enough to be in the shop on Friday when these came in, and they are stunners! No photos can do bats of this quality any justice, although having said that it is nice that Paul's new phone has a far, far better camera then on his old BlackBerry!

As far as the bats go, it is always satisfying to see the bats which we hand picked as part lefts come in to the shop looking so lovely. To recap our day at the Salix factory do give our Facebook page a look. My personal favorite has to be the SLX, I just adore the minimalist styling of the bat, and boy are they good looking as well!

As always with Salix bats they are well pressed and exceptionally well finished, but what I was most impressed with is how the Hits Hard range, despite being cheaper, does not compromise on the pressing or finishing. I also like the American Diner retro styling on these too, and think they are a brilliant option for someone who wants to be part of Salix's great brand without having to fork out as much money as some of the other bats!

Guys, I had a play with all the bats this morning, testing pick-up and mallet response, and I had a few observations:

1. The Torque Players is the most responsive.
2. The Wasp Select is the least responsive.
3. The HitsHard bats are on a par, if not better, than most of the Salix bats (in both pick-up and mallet response)...

Basically the conclusion of my exercise was that the HitsHard bats are really very good indeed.  The Salix bats are also very, very good, but I can't get over the quality for the price of these HitsHard bats...

Congratulations to Chris (Soulman), Ben, Andrew and all the others who have worked on this new HH brand! I wasn't massively convinced at first, and wasn't even planning to stock their bats at all, but my mind has well and truly changed now...

Saw some HitsHard bats in the flesh for the first time today and was surprised at how much I liked them. Photos that I'd previously seen really don't do them justice and the stickers were quality also, impressive stuff.

Very simply Brand mate. No doubt people will argue and say same quality cheaper etc but that is the same for all brands. Hi-tec trainers do the same job as Nike but plenty of people will by Nike over Hi-tec due to brand.

The overall Aim is that HH need to outsell Salix to use the full willow stock that Andrew has to buy each year to get the amount of true grade one needed to make the Salix range. That's it in a nut shell basically.

I just went in and saw Paul and ended up buying the light blue 2.8 mojo HH. The slx's in stock were absolutely top draw but the HH provide extreme value for money if you ask me. Having tapped up this one I was amazed at the price of £199.99. Left it with Paul to knock in so will do a full review later once I've got the bat.

All I need to do now is convince the missus I've won another bat in a competition ;)

I've used that excuse for almost all my new kit for this year, if I was half as lucky as I claimed to be I'd probably start buying lottery tickets!

All you need is for Paul to produce a video saying you've won it in an Ashes comp.
That's what I did for my new Bubble....
