Oooo, don't forget a Hunts custom, £165 from us.




This looks a lovely bat. But why is the 'custom' cheaper than you are selling the 'shelf' version of the Caerulex?

It's a custom and he happened to get hold of the stickers. They generally come plain

So, the stickers are worth £55?

Is it really a custom, or just a Hunts bat without stickers?

No, I bought something I didn't need but totally fell for. I must not go to cricket stores.

So it was a bat they had in stock? Seems like very good value; but to use the word 'custom' is misleading, is it not?

Jon, it's a Hunts made in the old Insignia shape, which isn't available any more, to specific weight - so in that sense it's a custom.

I didn't want it naked, so they very kindly agreed to put Caerulux stickers on for me, cos I am an all round good egg.

It was ordered specifically to those specs by me, and made up for me, rather than being off a shelf.

Does that clarify?
