I have an Oak and LV mallet from Les. Nice chap very easy to deal with. Both excellent mallets. The LV isn't cheap but you get what you pay for and if money is no object go for the LV over Oak.

Well obviously I have. Accept no substitute. Which is easy as Les is the only person in the world making LV Cricket Bat Mallets. They are just so hard that they indent anything other than LV and hard steel.

I spoke to Les at length on Saturday and we all have Taimoor from Blank Bats to thank for the LV Cricket Bat Mallet as he approached Les five years ago to design número uno.

No they look wonderful and the craftsman ship looks second to none.

I went the Hercules, arrived 2 weeks back. Gives you both options, a flatter side and a more rounder side,
I got mine in LV with an oak Handle in 10 inch, Drop Les an email, very easy to deal with and offers up great suggestions depending on what you want your mallet for
what i mean by that is, Les explained the purpose of each mallet to me and who they appealed to

I got my brother to get me and LV Hercules for my birthday, haven't really had my moneys worth out of it yet but it's a work of art, likely to last a lifetime (or longer) and makes knocking in much easier.

What shape? I genuinely have no idea!

I bought it from eBay, and the seller got rid of it "because it was starting to crack". It's made of wood and is used to repeatedly hit something, of course it will crack!

[/quotes hey crack because of the moisture loss, pretty unavoidable even with storage somewhere sensible
and the odd oiling.
