Bought by me, for a friend. Asad as usual provided excellent service, and really competitive prices. This £105 bat certainly is worth every penny, the grains are near perfect, the balance and weight distribution sensational. I have had a hit with it myself, and it certainly has an adequate middle, which covers a good proportion of the bat. Really impressed with this new range from SS and I have to say, they have made a bit more of an effort with regard to the stickers, which look modern and classy. Bat arrived in 2 days, and 10/10 for service. If you are considering a GN or GM for the same price, think again, because consistent quality from SS is unmatchable at this low a cost.
Thankyou to Asad once again!

Just upload images to photobucket and then post the image URL :)

You got a link to it on the site ? cant find a SS Millenium on there
-
Sorry, mixed it up with an older model. Heritage it is! Duh!!
-
dont worry, look's a nice bat, I hear only good things about SS bat's
-
why the crappy facing on it? did it come like that? Can't really telll the grain because of it - stickers are an improvement for SS but look a bit like Redback rip-offs
-
Very average, whats with the facing ?. grains dont look to good even under the scuff sheet.
-
those facings cry out 'crap', they are associated with grade 4's and beloe which are trying to hide the willow. and this is obviously a decent bat so not sure what the facings doing on it?
-
he most prob put the facing on because in this pic there isnt one http://www.assports.co.uk/prod.asp?productid=477 (http://www.assports.co.uk/prod.asp?productid=477) and normally asian makes suppies one
-
a lotta grains for your money there!
That's what I like about the asian bat's

Grains dont make a bat good
-
I know, I was going to write that down too :)
Suppose the saying 'more grains the better' is true to some extent though
-
My conclusion is that Bats which have between 7 to 10 grains are better in terms of performance.
-
Looks good - as others have said can't see why they put that facing on it.
-
they ruff up the new ball pretty well;)
-
Perhaps the protection sheet is there to protect the bat. It came free with the bat and it was my friends choice to apply, not mine- I had one on my CA and it has extended the life massively. Whoever says the grains don't look great should really pay a trip to the opticians. Admittedly the pictures aren't that clear.
-
What grade is it?
-
Not sure how people can comment on the grains as its very difficult to see them with the cover on the bat, id personally never ever use a cover of that type but they do exactly what there intended for so it personnel choice. Ive got nothing but positive feedback on ss bats however my ton matrix has now split and in need of a repair but that's not down to the manufacture just my bad luck and me lending it to a clown .

I have an SS Limted Edition and bought my eldest son an SS Heritage. I have used both in matches and whilst the LE is more pleasing aesthetically (e.g straight grains) they both go like freight trains and are simply outstanding. They have an amazing profile and great pick up. For the $ I pay on line and even with the freight to Australia (+ Bank Charges) I and others who have used my/my sons SS bats find them exceptional (and very good value for money, if not the best value for money). I am becoming somewhat bewildered when I look at what I have used and bought in the past.
