A Hunts butterfly?

[tim2000s]

Ah,  SAF.  This is the bat that should be alongside the others as a long bladed beauty,  but sadly,  in its own way is a classic example of what happened to SAF.

It was requested as a long blade,  indeed I was travelling up to Andy's workshop to have it made in front of me after a rubbish first bat that he was replacing. 

I arrived to find that in the clefts that he'd had handled and toe shaped he'd forgotten that I had asked for a Long blade,  so he made me this,  which is a long handle.  Fortunately it is incredibly well balanced and pings very well.  Sadly,  it wasn't quite what I asked for...

Still,  it's actually a lovely bat...









I even tried to make sure there is a dog in the pictures...

The Hades is a lovely shape! I think the persona I bought off here is that shape. It's massive for the weight and is a full profile

[tim2000s]

No,  the nemesis is a bog standard one bought cheap of eBay because I am a sucker for bats with silly shapes.

Yes,  a Hunts Butterfly,  made by the Huntingdon Podfather for me.  Comes complete with the turbo hole drilled out and has been drying out further since I got it as when the hole was drilled,  the content was a slushy mess. It has lost nearly 3oz in weight...

Sorry Tushar .... Seems like I have brought back some haunting memories for you!

No worries mate it was a good lesson to learn, all is not what it seems [emoji4]

Given the Six shapes you see on display,  which do you reckon picks up best,  and which would you think is worst?

Lovely collection of proper sized bats Tim

What happened to the 'general release' Hunts butterflies?

What happened to the 'general release' Hunts butterflies?

I'm not aware there were any. I asked for a Hunts Butterfly specifically as I hoped it would be cheaper and it turned out to be a lot cheaper...

That's a tough one I am going to guess Aldred velocity is probably worst pickup and red ink second worst

Dyna drive or hunts for best pick up

You've picked the two with the best pick up,  the winner of the two is actually the hunts.  Have another go on the worst.

There was a discussion in the summer. When I say 'general release', I mean for people on here.

Ah,  I understand.  I'm not sure what happened there.

B3?

[tim2000s]

B3?

Yes,  it is the worst pick up,  probably because it is the old powerbow shape with a low hump. Second worst is actually the Instinct,  which also has quite a low swell.
