So is this bat being custom made for you? Or is it already made? Will be the end of the season by the time it arrives!

Gave ryan my requirements bout a month and a half ago, visited him couple of weeks back and he shows me (made but not knocked in or stickered) picked the one the felt the best.

So yes it was made based on what I wanted but when I went to look at it was already put together.

Ok, so it�s taken a month to get the bat �made,� then you still have to wait weeks for it to be knocked in? Unless he�s dealing with hundreds of other people at the same time, this is a long process! Put the stickers on yourself and knock it in with a bowling machine.

if im honest, and i generally am, they delay has been my fault as I wanted the funds ready to go before he started the build and knocking in, in case i had to pull out of the sale for whatever reason.

still a long process but Ryan knocks in by hand and I wanted the bat after Chrissy so I can try it in the nets before first game back after the break

Am i the only one thinking that delazy and BIGGIE may be involved in the operation. This just screams promotion if im honest. Overpriced and underwhelming from the examples ive seen, sounded awful, 1 looked nice but was a $900 model with 3qtr heartwood with close on 20 grains. With some of the claims he has in regards to having this pro's bat and someone elses bats, i wonder what the pros are using as he seems to have them all.

why are there so many people here paranoid that people are 'in bed' with certain companies?

not sure how i could prove i have no affiliation with hitman other than say it over and over again.....

chain of events:
looked in the bigger shops
looked on ebay
saw an ad on fb
sent msg, liked the response
visited and checked out the stock
await bat to be delievered

THE END

Two people coming onto the forum at exactly the same time, making the same over positive claims about the same brand, one that had been discussed and dismissed not long before you arrived I believe. Coincidence - perhaps, fishy - absolutely.

Those of us who have been on here for more than 35 odd posts have seen all of this sheet before so forgive us for our sceptism.

No harm in trying a new brand, but an over-expensive one with wild claims when there are hundreds of other ones in Aus, some that actually make their bats in Aus rather than getting them shipped in, it�s just a bit hard to believe.

Maybe we�re all just narrow minded and forgive us for that, but you have no idea of the previous experiences we�ve had.

yeh look once again...not even slightly affiliated with him...i whole admit purchased a bat based on the social media hype/other feedback and that the offering matched my budget/wants...

i stumbled across this forum while researching the ayrtek helmets and noticed hitman had a mention...i had already ordered my bat and felt i should contribute my own thoughts rather than heresay...

i am happy with my $300 purchase...it fit the bill of what i wanted and at this point in time i have no reason to think it is rubbish...

i dont think i would have spent more on the higher end stuff but thats mostly me being a tightass...had more of the information about bat origins and the like been made more public knowledge earlier in the thread i might very well not have made the purchase to begin with and opted for a jpgavan custom bat instead...

that said if at all to make this thread productive...i am curious and mostly because i will likely add another bat to the kit early next year...what would the various bat snobs on here suggest i purchase that would be similar weight (2lb7-2lb8) of similar mid-low profile? budgeting potentially up to $400AUD/230GBP

Bat snobs is a crude name to call people who have a better understanding of gear than you do.

This is where you use the forum to your advantage. There are a number of forum sponsors (you already knew that, obviously) that could have made exactly what you wanted, in the grade you wanted, for potentially less than you bought your Hitman for.

The people on here will help you if you need advice and if you ask around, they probably have the exact bat you�re looking for, untouched and unused under their bed that they�d be more than willing to ship.

But what do I know, eh? I�m just a bat snob.

tongue in cheek remark mate

take it as a sign of respect that you know something... just the same as im ignoring accusations of being involved in the hitman brand

Way too much waffle & nowhere near enough photos...

I feel like I�ve been subjected to an infomercial

EASY!!!!! buy ar GN XP70 650 from Kingsgrove. Contact Skip (at Kingsgrove) ask him to select one on performance. All the ones I have are just fantastic. I hate to say it, but they are better than the G1 bats I have or had and that includes my Laver and an ex-pro's Bradbury. For your $400 you can get TWO.

****Disclaimer****
I know all I do is bang on about how good my XP70 is, but I would like it made public that I have nothing to do with either Kingsgrove or GN. However I would except a discount if offered by either
