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

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

Both very tough ones! only had the Newbery for 10 minutes before i sent it to mike for a clean up so i wont just to conclusions just yet

I'd have to say that the bats are finished beautifully, and are very nice pieces of kit. Mine picks up very well, and appears to have a slightly ofset edge. Haven't used it yet as it needs knocking in, but it's a beauty.

When you consider how much one of the big brands would charge for a similar custom service, that's if they would even do it, this offers remarkable value for money. Even at the non discounted price.

I agree Jon, and it was your Hattori that I was referring to.

They have some of the best stickers in the business in my opinion, and performance to match by the sounds of it.

It is the low end of the 'going rate' for batmakers on this site. If anyone is unsure about going for it, all I'd say is walk into your local sports shop and point out how many hand made English made G1 bats there are for £175 of less.

i personally dont care where it is made, but, the option to customise your bat to whatever specs you like is what i like about what H4L, SAF etc offer

Lovely Bat James! Sure you'll love it. I've been very impressed with mine, and though mine isn't a 'Monster' as such, I still got the brand branded on the edges, as I think it looks really sweet. I am sure that it will play really well for you. I'm seeing some absolutely top quality H4L's being churned out at the moment, really impressed with your work Matt, keep it up mate :D
And I totally agree with what has been said about a custom service for those prices, it's top notch!

Just thought i'd add a little bit more now that i've actually used the bat.

Went to my first net session at a new club last night, When i said i was a batsmen they threw me straight into bat. To be honest i was very rusty as i hadnt batted since August, so definatly didnt use the bat to full effect but it was extremely good. The thing that pleased me most was the pick-up, for a big profile bat like this it picked up beautifully and felt really nice. It had the performanc to match the pick up too. I know everyone says this about there bats but it really did 'ping' too. Probably better than any bat i have had previous.

Overall i am extremely happy with the purchase. And would recommend them to anybody! It remains to be seen whether it will be my match bat yet though. Still awaiting my Newbery from mike!
