Little update on this, I was hit with a bouncer 2weeks ago on the end of my thumb and haven't been able to hold a bat with my bottom hand at all yet since. I've had chance to tap it up with the mallet and the response is fantastic (cheers to
@hell4leather cricket /
@H4Ladam for all their communication throughout including the scuff sheet and making a cracking blade!!) really looking forward to getting it in the nets for a proper try out when I'm able to bat again.
One thing I have noticed is that the H4L knocking in process doesn't seem to do the edges/toe at all so you really need to work on them prior to using a knocked in bat from them.
