Custom made Hunts County
« on: November 03, 2009, 08:03:39 PM »
1st post on here so wish me luck having swapped over from a rival forum  :D :D :D :D

Would love to hear people's thoughts

A guy at my club had a bat custom made from the factory this was about 10 years ago though, he sent it back to be refurbed last year but it broke this year. He sent it to them and they sent a brand new one!
The two county bats he has are awesome!

I have had a few County bats, and they are probably the best bats I have ever used. started with a Reflex, had a Clipper, then an Insignia. And generally people who buy them stay loyal to them forever.

I haven't because I am a tart and go for the best cometics, probably because I am such a crap batter i might as well look good for the 5 minutes I am at the crease!

I've been up many times, Tony's a good batmaker and can make some beautiful profiles if you ask nicely!

Just weigh every handled cleft they have there and try to find a light one is my advice.

Lighter cleft will mean a bigger profile can be achieved on the bat.

It will mean they dont have to remove as much wood to achieve the weight wanted.
