Hawk cricket operate on a personal basis and welcome customers and visitors to there workshop just outside Stourbridge to discuss there requirements.
If you wish you can select your own cleft the bat will be then handcrafted to your own specs from start to finish inc the handle in there workshop.
I was invited to spend time there while my bat was being made to ensure it felt right  i then collected the bat two weeks later following the five star finish.

Jake at Vitas has links with Hunts County for bespoke work - he is definitely worth a shout. I had a bat done by Red Ink and couldn't fault the service or the product. I've also had a black cat custom done - the bat was lovely but it is expensive and Charlie's communications are sporadic at best. It comes down to budget and brand desire too - who's bats do you love and is it compatible with your cash flow? And of course will your softs match your bat? Package deals may bring some healthy savings - it's always worth bartering a bit when you're going for the full whack....

B3 we can offer this in any grade and almost any size ultimate options really!!!

That's right Dave, i can do this at no extra cost. I've done it for a few people already and find its a good way to make sure the customer gets exactly what they want.

Have to agree with this.

A few years back I had only come across one Hawk (Old stickers) and it was rock hard. Over the winter and this season I've seen multiple and they have all been absolute weapons! XB900 seems to be the weapon of choice

I had about 5 Jedi bats in last year for knocking in, they were awful. Not sure where they fitted into their range but if I ordered any of them I would be very disappointed.

3 of their models are selling really well around my area. 900,700 and 300. Great bats and the fact the guys working there are great probably helps sales

This is correct they used to be IMO pressed hard but the key for me was to ask for a  pressing  so that the bat pinged after knocking in.
