G1 Custom Bat Visit £185
« on: February 12, 2015, 04:58:30 PM »
Hi guys,

I am sure plenty of you are aware of the custom made bats we offer via our good friends at Hunts. We charge £185 for a G1 made to any shape and spec, a specific bat can be copied too if you desire. Some more details can be found here:

http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=32683.msg514118
http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=32945.0
http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=29580.0

Ongoing, I am giving you the opportunity to visit the batmaker yourself, pick out the cleft and have the bat made in front of you AT NO EXTRA COST.

Great offer, Jake. The price is fabulous for that quality, but to see it made by the masters, into the price, is fantastic.

We spoke on the phone earlier and hopefully we can finalise a suitable day for a trip to Hunts, tomorrow.

Yours, excitedly,

David

Happy to help David, looking forward to booking you in tomorrow :)

Just to add guys, I am happy to accompany you to Hunts if desired, and either before or after, or both, you are welcome to come to the shop too and discuss all things cricket, perhaps have a net if there is space. We are a short drive away, takes me about 20-25 minutes but some of you may not be so hard on the accelerator!

First visit done and dusted this morning. Just spoke with David (username leatherseat) who seems very happy with his new long blade bat, especially with the couple of nice touches Tony added, retro ink stamps from a bygone era rather than stickers etc.

Hopefully pics to follow from David :)

If I had spare capital this is what I would be doing - the "Laser" graphics were awesome.
I hate being broke. :(

Why did I just have to fork out money on my car, a new G1 hunts custom would've been cheaper and I'd have been happier with what I got for my money  :(

Best bat I ever owned was a Hunts, started on this forum and got rid of it as my addiction to trying new bats started. Biggest bat mistake ever! Sounds like a fantastic offer and I look forward to seeing pictures @leatherseat. If only my wife didn't have a baby due in a few weeks 😜

Not sure I am going to master the technology needed to download pics.

I enjoyed my visit - it is fascinating to see such a craftsman pull a bat out of a handled cleft. I went for the retro 'branding', with just the black 'C' (reminds me of the famous on-drive that brought Boycott his hundredth hundred).
Whilst the pick up is good, it is rather heavier than I am used to -2'13'' (I was looking for 2'10''), but Tony said I could take it back, if necessary, to lose a little more weight.
Six straight grains.

Looking forward to using itand testing the middle (and maybe the edges too, occasionally).

If you dont mind me asking why did you go and get a hand made bat and leave with it not to your weight specs?

I think a combination of nice pickup from the higher middle and this being his first long blade bat. At least this seemed to be the general theme of what Tony was suggesting before i left them to it anyway. Tony involves the customer in the whole process, making you pick the bat up every few minutes to check the balance etc. And he will be happy to adjust the weight if this doesn't work out as desired for the customer.

One of our batsman is after a replica of his Kook that has delaminated.

Its around 3lb and is a long blade, is this something Hunts could do, or would this cost more?

Cheers,

Replication is fine, especially if he is able to bring the bat along with him.

Long blade, long handle etc don't cost any more.
