2 H4L Custom's
« on: January 25, 2016, 09:38:47 PM »
Just received the second Custom, so I thought I'd share some pics!

First one (white grip) is the one I got today. Weighs in at 3lb in Matt Coles' profile, bit of concaving with 47mm edges & 72mm spine. Mid but very long middle, pick up is excellent. Spine runs into the toe, thick shoulders and toe. The second bat has no concaving at all, weighs 2.15 with a mid low middle. Edges 45mm with a 62mm spine, plenty of wood up the blade so this also picks up well. Bat 1 has 11 grains, bat 2 has 10. Grains straight through the toe on both and straight up the back. The finish is superb. Both respond really well, bat 2 has had a couple of hours knocking in so is slightly better.












Big thanks to Jake for sorting these out & to Matt and Adam for producing these 2 excellent sticks!! Can't recommend these highly enough. Very tempted to add the softs as well!

Stunning bats, really lovely profiles and bloody huge. Can't see how people can bat with bats at that weight but when you hit it it must go miles, add in H4L performance and oh lord you must clear some boundaries
