I've now sent pics to Jake, so expect them on here soon! I'm crap with tech, so can't do it :D :D

IT's a beauty though - weighs just under 2lb 14, so pretty spot on. Middle feels good from knock ups, but needs a bit of knocking in etc! Will use it and let you all know how amazing the edges are :D

Looking forward to seeing the pics, a custom Hunts has been tempting me for some time, would love to time it so I could make the trip there also.

Already had one mate; loved it but it was a bit light! Jumped from 2lb 8 to 2lb 14! It's a beauty. Will see how it plays soon hopefully.

Love those stickers!
And looks like a great experience at a really good price!

Now I just have to decide whether I would prefer to have a nice custom made Hunts and experience made to my spec, or buy that M&H Size 6 refurbed bat for the same price!
Hmmm, now what should I do!

These are just tremendous value for money aren't they, from cleft to crease for £175. Makes other brands charging £500 plus for an unseen possible plank look ludicrous. My friend Ali had his laver copied by Tony and he couldn't be happier, I picked it up and we both thought it must be 2.10 max but when we weighed it it was 2.12. You'd never have guessed from the pick up.

Get the M&H for sure (junior storm damaged chocolate bar for only 150 quid) absolute bargain ;)

My next new bat, when the time comes, cant complain for that price and service. To be able to see it made in front of you, I'm presuming you can select whatever stickers you want, along with shape

Seeing those pictures makes me even more excited for mine to get here! Jake has been great to deal with so far - can't wait to see the outcome. Just a little gutted I couldn't go and see it done for myself!

He's an experienced podshaver! And getting a stunning bat copied could be the best option!

Stickers officially have to be treated as a bonus. What you are buying is a G1 custom made bat from us, it just happens to be that Hunts are the bat maker. In reality most of the time, providing they have them, they are happy to apply your chosen sticker.
