My new H4L!
« on: January 18, 2011, 11:14:04 AM »
Hi Guys

Thought i'd put a mini review of my H4L up. I ordered the bat before the Forum offer ran out on New Years Eve.

Specs I went for:
Profile similar to a GN nitro
2.10 'dressed'
Red stickers, anti-scuff and a white grip.

Here's what i received this morning:






Specs:
Just over 2lb 10oz
34mm edges
8 evenly spaced grains, no blemishes.

I am over the moon with the bat! pick up is great, seems really responsive. After getting a Newbery SPS last week, i was slightly worried this bat might play second fiddle to it. two words - NO WAY. Its great and a steal at £150!

I'd like to thank matt, for the great service, communication and a wonderful bat! would recommend them to anyone!

James

Looks a stunner mate, for £150 that is serious good value. Is the SPS going to be playing 2nd fiddle to this then?

You know what, i think it may do. I obviously need to use them both and see but they are very similar in profile, weight and size. So it'll come down to which one is luckier ;)

I reckon if you bought one of these it would replace your first bat!

Hmmm. In the awkward position of having to choose between M&H S6, H4L 666 and SAF for my "primary bat".... Oh the agony!

First bat is a Distinction mate...would be a hard task living up to that! But from what I have read and seen, it may be a close one.

Just not sure what model to go for, Matt has suggested the Hattori and I saw Jon's and liked it

It looks a very nice bat there, I am impressed with H4L and their kit.
