Was in Lukeys Sports on Friday and he's looking at starting to stock Chase - he had one bat in to see how it goes - a finback R11.
My god it was sexy! I know a lot has been made of Chase's facelift for 2012, and yes in the flesh the stickers are nice, but that aside the bat itself was luuuuurvely! Really nicely finished and absolutely huge for the weight - the one Lukey has is 2lb 10oz. Lovely balance to it - Feels like the kind of stick you could do some serious damage with!

Thats most helpful mate but get some pics up for us who live many miles away from Lukeys ;)

You'll have to ask Lukey! Don't think I'll be back in for a few weeks now

have to agree with the 1st post.
i had a chase 167 since i was 18 (now 32) was by far the best bat ever,hence why i had it for so long.
i still remember the very 1st shot i played which started my love affair with this bat. i played a match against a lancashire development team. cant remember who was bowling but he had a rather long run up!!! prob nothing to better batsmen but not being that good i was a little nervous as he came bounding in. it was a full straight delivery so i played a bog standard forward defensive. low and behold the ball hit the middle of the bat and flew back over the bowlers head for 4 runs (landing only 2ft short of a 6) not bad for defensive shot with no follow through at all.
sadly my beloved bat broke last year. for that years birthday my missus said she would by me a new one (very kind of her) always fancied a salix so that is what i now use (£200 much to her disgust).
i popped into lukeys only 2 weeks ago as a mate needed some new boots. and the 1st thing i see is the chase mentioned above. i had to pick it up and have a feel for it. it is just the most beautiful bat i have ever seen. now nothing against the salix but i was under the impression that chase had gone bust??? if i had known better this is the bat i would have purchased!!!!
i cant express how good this bat is. in looks in its pick up. the way it feels. going to have to stop as the salix is giving me dirty looks :D

Where you based tuffers?

In my opinion the volante is their best bat. I just love the profile very classical.

I was in lukeys shop today and I agree with johnny, what a gorgeous bat the chase is
Infact all of lukeys bats were top quality!

Can't believe that everyone came to Preston today and didn't give me a shout!
