mite be a bit thin Very funny, ive seena few of those bats as they are based fairly near me i think, they look nice, but i think when your asking for a bat weighing 2lb 4, in a full size blade and long handle, don't expect a massive amount of wood Very funny

hi bill i emailed you about a custom fusion bat but you havent got back to me, if you could check your emails and contact me as soon as possible that be great. might get a custom millichamp and hall solution new graphics for 2006 looks great has a large low middle perfect for driving on english wickets. undecided i know what the guys on this forum would suggest think there all on bills payroll Very funny. just kidding they must be good bats. deffinetly going to get one of them cant wait to use it.

currently got a vampire test selection 2lb 10 oz perfect balance picks up like 2lb 8oz and a specially made vampire explorer cant buy in shops 2lb 9oz massive profile middle twice the size as test selection beautiful balance and pickup.

Hi Hanif,If you need to contact Bill urgently then it would probably be better to give him a call.Having been down this week to visit Bill and James I found them very busy with a lot of bats to get through.Having tried a couple of these bats in the indoor net they have set up with proper hard cricket balls,I can assure you they are very worthy of consideration.Cosmetically,and aesthetically you could argue that there are other "better" bats,but in the crucial area of performance,pickup and balance Fusion must be up there with the very best.I am not on the payroll or sponsored by Fusion,my comments are my view only,backed by 25 seasons as a top order batsman in top first team league cricket,and the ownership of a great many cricket bats.

Cheers,hope this helps,

Mark.

hi bill, are most of your bats made with high middles, i would like a bat with a midd to low middle.

 

can you custom make bats with midd to low middles? and still have large profiles, as i have heared. i kinda bat like strauss or bell, what kind of profile could you recommend for me?
