Ok.. even though my mum's in bed, I couldn't help getting the mallet out and just testing the response as well as gently starting to knock/round the edges.

It's pressed beautifully and is pinging even before hitting the bat face with any real malice.... the toe is sounding the least responsive and tinny as you'd expect but I'm sure that'll change as time and effort are put in to open up the grains...

Am very happy with this purchase and don't regret not picking up one of Matt's (H4L) recent bargains over the last few days... that SF was haunting me...

So much so I've put an order in with IJC to see what a H4L NV bat grip will look like. Got to admit these are my favourite grips of last season along with Affinity Ayrtek grips... both green, black colour scheme. I have the NV gloves too which may have something to do with the feel of the grips in hand..

I hope a few more of you take a punt on these... If I'm still playing a reasonable amount in the next few years I'm definitely going to have to get a B&S 5 star or Impi.. top top quality especially as a 3 star!!!

Would it be possible to get a profile shot from a little further away when convenient - (if that doesn't interrupt you 'banging away') :)

Time to be controversial.


Checked this out while in vitas, and I wasn't that impressed. Infact I smelled double standards on the forum.

The shape and concaving is more or less identical to the kookaburras of old that recieved nothing but critism and hate due to the method of keeping them light(over concaved)



Off course the price is a lot better on these than the kooks.

Not sure what you mean about the 'double standards' mate.. I'll leave that between you and B&S but controversy/asking a question is fine...

Got to admit the amount of concaving is 'more' than I usually like to see on my bats but I didn't fully realise this until I received it, but the edges are quite big (35mm), which might be the average for most bats these days. My first impressions with the mallet are very good, which I think is down to the pressing.

The big test will be when I get into nets and against good quality old balls so happy to do an eventual update but not any time soon. I think 'fromthehip' will be able to provide an earlier review.

When a non forum sponsors. I.e kook makes a concaved bat. They get slated for it by the majority of the forum.

When a forum sponsor concaves a bat. The same members proclaim said bats to be great.

Double Standards by the general forum members.  Not by b and s.

Think that clears it up a bit.  People were obviously thinking you were meaning double standards from B & S.

Ok all my bats weights are 2.9 up to 2.10.5 on octane
Personally don't think they are much like concaved kooks

I think mine is a little more concaved than yours mate comparing the pics above... I also think your spine extends down a little further looking at your toe shape.

I guess there are always slight variations when hand/individually shaped....

Like the look of your B&S LE... if that's what it is...

Yes it does seem quite a bit thinner than your Assegai....what's the weight of it? I guess it was to save on weight...
