Hello, what do you guys know about Kay Gee sports (KG) www.kgsports.com?
this has appeared on my doorstep and I know nothing about the firm.

One of our ex overseas used to use a KG bat. Didnt think too highly of the bat itself but he scored lots of runs with it. Its an Indian firm.

Russel Arnold used them in the past

Lucky you, free bat :)

Lucky you, free bat :)
not quite, a palm was crossed with silver.
it does have a lovely oval handle which is unusual for an Indian bat, in my (limited) experience.
I am pleasantly surprised by the bat, good finishing and a serious middle. Terrible stickers mind... am in the process of removing them and cleaning it up.
but hear is a hint of the edge size

Your so lucky, why can't they get mixed up and send one to my place :(
-
Those edges look pretty huge!
-
OK, I'll ask it. What weight is it please Buzz?
-
A picture speaks 1000 words... these bats weigh the same!

Your in desperate need of a better camera/camera phone ;)
The side by side pic, looks like it is a laminate.
-
when I first got the bat I thought it was a lam, but no it is not.
yes I needed to use a decent camera but, this is what I have at the moment. once it is cleaned up I will do better. tough on one leg and crutches though.

Big old stick that is Buzz. :)

had a cheap ass 3lb kg bat it was my dads it was kashmir but went like well
-
They are indian made, similar to SS and SG but a smaller company. One of my clubmates swear by them. He rates them better than the previously mentioned brands, in terms of quality and price. A guy in opposing team had one last season. He didn't last very long to see anything special but from what little I did see, it looked good. One of the better indian made bats I think.
How's the ping on that?
-
I have used KG bats back in India and they were top quality. The ones I had were better than any SS or SG I had used until that time.
They went silent for sometime, but have been a bit active and sponsored Bhajji for very short time. Some of Bhajji's and Punjab and Delhi Ranji players bats are still made by KG.
This one looks like a pretty neat bat.
How does it pick-up and tap?
-
the ball bounces well and I think it picks up well, but as I am on crutches with my leg in plaster to give any kind of useful review is pointless!
-
Don't buy any pads then!
-
A lad who used to play at my club used to pick these up off eBay and they flew.
Never used to knock them in have a couple a season, but they really did go
-
Ivs seen the one with black stickers (think its high end?) its a good bat the middle isn't too low nice pickup and ping.
-
Nice table Buzz - we have one like that!

I picked up this bat for Buzz
Visited KayGee sports in Jalandhar. A decent sized factory , very well maintained producing lots of KW , G2,G1 and selected pro EW bats along with softs .
Really liked the bats there.The bats are hand made at the factory. The main profile is one that Buzz has. There are two other profiles they have , one with no concaving and other like SG t20i (Kook kahuna t20)
I picked up five more bats from there and all were hand picked for me and had great ping.
The company provides bats to some known brands like MRF etc and caters to lots of clubs all over the world.
Let me know if anyone wants more info or wants these reasonably priced bats or softs.

so I have spent the afternoon with the white spirit, cotton wool and subsequently some bat wax. All the stickers and residue are gone and I am having a lie down after breathing in too many fumes.
now originally I was going to look to flog this for a bit of spending money, but having tapped it up a bit, it will be in my kit bag next summer... it is going to be a cracker.
I just need this cast off my leg to test it now...!
every time I hold this bat I am staggered at how phat it is. I now understand why people love big edges on bats.

I cleaned one up a few months ago, don't think I'd seen one before that. The stickers where (No Swearing Please) quality but the bat was a gun. I mean a real gun.
Be interested to see how it goes.

I should note in the last pic the ruler is at an angle which makes the edges look slightly smaller than the 40something that that are ;)
-
Bats seem to be decent from what people have said, and cheap
shame about the stickers, dont like them at all, or the branding on the edge
i'm sure theyd provide you a bat without stickers if you so wished
-
Bats seem nice. Just came across Zimbabwean Ray Price using one last year.
