A cheeky trip to Hunts...
« on: October 25, 2016, 04:21:30 PM »

On Monday I went and saw Hunts County to have a bat custom made for me. I arranged the service through the lads at Vitas. I had a lovely morning although Tony was a little frosty to begin with. The photo's are below. The bat weighs 2lb 9ozs and has plenty of heartwood (personal preference). It's a G1+. The response is excellent. I recommend the service from Hunts but be prepared to do most of the talking  ;)

G1+ on response I assume, rather than looks?

Plenty of grains and no blemishes, what more do you want? ???

@Churchy1989 you saw how well my Hunts was going, I'm sure you'll be pleased with it. They're very effective for playing things into the leg side! :D

Go for it. Get yourself a custom made from them. Just don't expect too much witty banter while the bat is being made ;)

Lovely bat mate, glad you are pleased with it. Tony and Matt are normally up for a laugh, maybe you caught them on an off day  :(

Didn't know that heartwood could go across grains, though it was either or.

They won't catch us this time! Not this time! They haven't spotted us! No, they're all snoring in their bunks! Or, you know what? They're drinking at the bar, celebrating our sinking! Not yet, my friends. Not yet!

Having had loads of Hunts bats (three of which have been custom made for me) I have to say they are great chunks of wood!

Heartwood across the grains?
