i'll buy u lunch
-
Excellent Chris, I shall be Goose to your Maverick - Asad can empty my wallet (again!) - and then he's going to buy us a bag of chips!
Doesn't get any better than that!
-
Asad I shall be paying you a visit this winter also. You are only an hour away so would be silly not to
-

Brucie, i need to have a chat with you as i need few things for the shop. we will discuss when u visit
-
Asad I shall be paying you a visit this winter also. You are only an hour away so would be silly not to
plz let me know before you come so i make sure that i am available. I am thinking why don't we have a day where we invite all the forum members and run a special forum sale at the shop. Any other good suggestions are welcome. I am sure Bruce can suggest few

Loving this idea!
Also a good way to promote your own brand to the rest of the forum

Sounds like a plan Asad.
Ok goose I look forward to it.
-
Capital suggestion Asad - although don't buy everyone lunch!!
Asad, you might as well suggest a forum members only afternoon and set a date. I'm sure loads of us will come - perhaps a few percent forum discount as an extra incentive.
I shall then don my onesie and demonstrate all the gear, before manning the kettle.

Make it Friday morning! Lol
-
Let's do it, I have an idea what discount we will offer and I'll share this on the day.
You guys vote for the day and let's dedicate a whole afternoon for Forum members
-
Rather than afternoon let's do it over the whole day
-
Rather than afternoon let's do it over the whole day
Sounds like a plan, I'm quite easy to be honest, no real preference but a weekend may suit more people.
-
How about Sunday, any date is ok with me, may be you guys suggest a date and then members can say if they r ok with it or not. If successful we will run another similar day before the season starts
-
If Brucie or Chris can suggest either a Sat or Sunday and then people can vote which day is better for them
-
I'll try and make it too then.
If goose and maverick are there, then the Iceman needs to attend!! ;)

Pete you have to come, i'll see if i can set up an indoor nets. we can then try all of your bats :)
-
Right - I'll propose Sunday 3rd November - the thinking would be it's a non work day for most. People can pop in and out throughout the day as it suits them, and it's also just after payday for many of us?
Feedback on this much appreciated.
(Asad, are you over the road from where you used to be, or still in the same unit?)
-
If its a Sunday in November then the 10th or 24th is best for me.
If it's the 3rd or 17th then I'll not be able to be there until mid afternoon at the earliest?

Ok Goose that sounds like a plan, shame its just before payday for me but l will have a little save up or maybe a company perk on my little plastic friend.
-
Once the date is finalised, i'll try to book nets in the sports centre near us
-
I am definitely interested in this! As long as it doesn't clash with my Cyprus tour (18th-25th October)...
The reason I am interested is because Asad's store really is something else - he has more bats in his stock room than we do in our entire shop! The bats aren't half bad either - almost as good as some of ours!! ;) :D
Even in October, he has some absolute stunners in stock, which is more than can be said for many other cricket shops, and knowing how meticulous Asad is about the performance of his bats, and the hand-picking process in general (he goes through literally every single bat each time!) I am sure that there are some real guns there waiting for a good home! :)

Thanks Paul
I really admire Paul for the videos he has done to provide customers his views on the products from different manufacturers.. May be one day we can both use our strengths and make one big company.
It will be nice for you to come Paul and for that day only, i will show all of you some of the bats we supply to Pro players which are hidden in our stock room
Also good discount will be offered to Forum members
-
This sounds interesting!
Count me in!
-
Love all these little visit ideas. Just need to move further daarrnn sarrfff so I can attend more. It's a real trek to you guys in London and the surrounding areas for us northern folks haha
-
Any updates proposed date? I can realistically make the 10th or 24th.
But Paul is bronzing himself on a beach on 24th. Therefore the 10th seems like a logical date?
Bruce and all....how about the 10th?
-
Ok lets go with 10th Nov
Plz let me know who would like to come and we can update the list here with the names of people coming
I am happy to pick people up from the train station and drop them back

I can't do the 10th unfortunately. It's a busy few weeks for me. Was hoping we could do the very end of October/early November, but my availability shouldn't affect it if most/all of you guys are free! Please don't work it around what I can do!
Oh, and I'm actually going to be bronzing myself on the cricket field, Pete - it's my club's annual overseas tour! :)
-
The sweet treats are on me ;)

Any further takers for the 10th November? Could do with a few more faces to make it worth Asads while? How about some of you West Country boys for a couple of hours - would be nice to meet some of you boys who've been on here for a while, and also to show TomTek how a proper batsman holds a bat :)
-
Might be able to make the 10th. Will check the diary.
-
I'll pencil it in. Sounds fun.

Hopefully I will be up and kind of running by then, if not I will bring the crutches.

I'm due to be visiting my sister down in London some time next month I suppose I could schedule it so that I'm down there on the 10th, I'll probably confirm closer to the date due to variable train fair (isn't that cheap going from Liverpool to London).

Still quite a distance from London to Uzi, though? In fact, it's probably a similar distance from Liverpool!

I can pick u up from the swindon station if that helps
-
Asad,
will you have the new nike spikes in before this visit?
-
We have ordered these, not sure when the delivery would be
-
Ok mate thanks, can you keep me updated? id like to come down and can come with yash but if they arent in there isnt much point. did we manage to arrange a net?
-
I'll keep you posted.
-
Would love to be able to get down on the 10th!! It's a bit far from Durham though!!
I'm working in Gloucester tomorrow and Friday so will try to call across and see you Asad!!
-
most welcome, plz pm me what time you are most likely to visit. In Oct-Nov we have changed our opening times but i can open the shop at a time which is convenient for u
Regards
-
I'll know better in the morning, I'll pm you then if that is ok? What are your normal opening times?
-
Plz let me know via pm. Our opening hours are 11.30 to 6pm but can open early if required
-

It's a 1 hr train from london to swindon i think? Liverpool is almost 200 miles away from swindon
.I can pick u up from the swindon station if that helps
Thanks asad, that would be massively helpful!

You are correct from London to Swindon is about 55 mins and if u buy ticket well in advance it is fairly cheap.
If anyone else needs to be picked up from the station that will be no problem at all.
I think we should aim to be here from 10 am onwards
Regards
Asad

Thanks for your visit Jon and I hope you are happy with your purchase. Any constructive feedback on the store will be highly appreciated

ive decided that as i cant make the 10th im going to visit for my birthday at the end of november. will probably also look at staying for a couple of nights in a b&b so me and the missus can have a short break
-
A word of caution.....there is a large fashion outlet village in Swindon!
So if you're spending a few days around Swindon, then between Asad's shop full of amazing willow for you, and the outlet village full of amazing designer shops for your missus, expect it to be an expensive few days!! :(

we have actually visited the outlet village before i learnt of asad shops and luckily she wasn't at all impressed and didnt ever want to go back so i was happy.
-
We get so many customers who visit us from far bring their missus so they can visit the outlet village designer shops. It is about 10 mins drive from our shop.
-
It's also got a Cadbury's outlet shop, which is fantastic!!!

I was in Gloucester with work so headed off to Swindon for a couple of hours to meet Asad.
I was welcomed with a nice cup of tea and chocolate biscuits, then given a tour of the bats in the shop!! I couldn't stop grinning, everywhere you placed your eyes they landed on top class willow!!
I wanted to look at some of the heavier newbery's & gn's in stock. Eventually I got it down to 2 bats, a B52 SPS & new shape Mjolnir Players (one of the ones Asad pictured last week) I eventually picked the B52 which I'm over the moon with!!
Still fancy the Mjolnir as well though!
If anyone's in the area I highly recommend calling in!!
Thanks Asad

Thank you for your visit Jon, I believe the bat you selected was the better out of the 2.

But then i don't get to visit my sister ;)

Morning!
Just to clarify that this is happening on the 10th Nov right?
If so that should be good, I should have my cast off by then.

A fair bit to do then

If the hair that came off Roco is straight and fine then you could keep it and use it Fattus.
But if its really curly with a suspicious fragrance then chuck it right now!!!!

Plenty to spare

Nothing to stick it to now. I'm a proper shaven headed baldy at last.
Still at least I've got my looks to fall back on.

I have just found out that there is a possibility of Net hire in a sports centre near us between 11 and 1 before the indoor league starts at 1.30. Do you guys want me to book the net or do you want to spend most of your ti,me at the shop where we can enjoys wife's cooking and chat + look at the quality kit we carry. I will be at the shop from 9.00am as i know Rocco is arriving early

At present we have nets available between 10 to 1 pm in a sports hall near us, about 15 mins drive. Plz let me know if you guys want me to book it for 2 hour slot. I'll let you know the cost and we can share it between us.
we can always spend more time at our shop ;)
Regards
Asad
-
I'll check and let you know, how many do u need
I'll take a pack of 10 or 12 or whjatever they come in.
-
I'm happy to contribute to a net, can we have a show of hands boys to see if it's worthwhile, or if people would prefer to just munch and shop?
-
Happy to net as well mate but no preference either way
-
Not fussed either way
-
Either way I don't mind, always fun having a net though!
-
I'll wait for a response from others who r attending and if there is a interest from most of you to have a 1-2 hour net, i 'll book it.

I hope all of the people in the list are attending and as I mentioned in my previous message that we have opportunity to book the nets from 11 to 1 pm in a local sport hall but hasn't booked it yet as there was not much response from enough people . May be you want to spend more time in the shop ;) and have chat with other members plus food and drink. We still have time to book nets but I need to know by tonight or early tomorrow morning
-
I won't be able to go to the nets, as my foot is still acting up :(
However everyone else is free to go, Asad just leave me the keys to the shop! You can trust me!
-
Asad, I think if people don't get in touch with you about the nets, then that is their choice - don't get caught out booking nets and then have no takers. Often less people who have said yes actually turn up.
I'm sure if the nets don't materialise we'll still have plenty of fun shootin' the breeze, drinking tea and looking thru' your stock!

And taking advantage of this forum offer I'm looking forward to, I have an idea of buy a grip and get the attached bat for free? What do you think?
-
We shall discuss this in the 'Baldy-Wagon' on the way down.
-
What time are people getting there roughly
-
I will be looking at between 11-12! So somewhere between brunch and lunch time!
No netting for me as I have willow to stroke and cake to eat!!!
-
I think Grant and Phil will be getting there around 10.45
We want loads of photos of this men!!!!!
-
Afraid I'm not gonna be able to make it guys. Old school friend I've not seen in over a year is visiting so can't duck out of that.
Sadly this does mean someone else is going to have to provide the Haribo...
-
I will be done between 10:30 and 11:00. Got loads of goodies to pick up :)

11ish for me too. I am not net averse if it's the pervading feeling, but my kit's in storage, so would rather not!

The order of the day will be
Food, cricket equipment, Chat.
Food, cricket equipment, Chat.
...
All welcome, you don't have to stay all day and there is no set time, we will keep the shop open as long as you guys want it.

It was a test players bat but it was off limits for the time being I Did buy a very nice Salix pod and a silly kookaburra which should off been graded a lot higher some off the bas bats are very very nice :)

Liking the Salix, what does that take the collection up to?
Think had I made a trip down to Swindon I'd have been unable to resist a Newbury!

You missed out on some kudos sps bats marked as players they are superb bats and asad has a fine collection

What was the discount for the day?
-
Thanks for the day Asad you and your family made great hosts and the food was excellent. I will post a few pics of the day and I know Fattus has a few as well.
I also want to point out that Asad really does have a great establishment and I can honestly say stocks amazing bats, I must have picked up and tapped up over 100 bats today and I can honestly say only one was not great. He honestly does pick on performance but they also look amazing as well. And well as for the back room good god some amazing willow in there as well as on the shelves. Saw a bottom end Kook Warrior with 24 grains.

Here's a few pics from the day:

My purchase for the day was a Ton Powerplay bat and SS Gladiator gloves with pittard palm. I could have bought a hundred bat but this stood out as the greatest value for money on the day and pings so so well. 2.8 with 38mm edge.

Was an unbranded SS butterfly willow bat, 2.7 from memory with a lovely butterfly stain across the blade and tapped up really well, problem was it had a knot in the blade and the bat was dead around the know, was about a third of the was down the blade. Asad offered me a good deal on it as well. You never know what may happen in the future :-[

cant believe you are all going on about these cricket bats, who's the lady?

Just finish tidying up the place to be ready to open on Tuesday. I really enjoyed meeting every one who visited and I hope everyone had a good time. This was the only time we let forum members to look at our back room where some of you especially simon found some gems which I completely forgot about. We had Tendulker bat as well as Michael Clarke bat plus few bats which were similar to we sent to Pakistan test players. I think we will have another gathering before the season starts. We also have available quite a few bats from 2014 GN range. I will put the photos of those in the next few days. Before I forget I must mention that we have 4 Salix bats from 2014 range , 2 of these are unique and won't be available any where.

did anyone tap up the 2 amplus asad has in stock?
-
I wouldn't of but krs was asking about the Amplus bats and M&H.
The Distinctions tapped out superbly well with very long middles! And also came back and tapped up the Amplus bats and they were also excellent.
I suspect these will be serious pingers for anyone with the generous budget that M&H bats command.

I managed to take a few photos myself although apologies as only had photo camera. But started with the food......

Both have to grab Roco's wood to ensure no damage is done to passing forumites....

And last photo is Asad trying to work out how his sales have gone up 690% in two hours, before realising that both Simonmay and Soulman are present! And the wonder if taking that increase to 1000% if only Chad had of turned up...

who came dressed in whites and just stared into the car park in a sulk with a bat lodged in his backside?

We would all sulk if we had half a dozen bats lodged in our backside!!
When I pulled up outside, I did wonder why that sad bloke dressed in cricket whites in this weather was staring at me!!

too many to list, you have to visit :D

you will be most welcome

I'd be pretty disappointed if Chris, Simon and myself only managed to increase Asad's sales by 1000% to be honest! Some very beautiful looking bats there, I saw the BAS Wilkie purchased which looks ridiculously good! It's a shame the bank account is struggling a little, but probably a sign that I have much more than enough willow to last me a good few seasons! :-[

Long trip from Aus but I'm sure well worth it ;) :D
-
Good photos fellas. The bats looked superb and the spread put many cricketing teas to shame.

When I have drained all the runs out of my Laver Bradman you are on top of my list. Can't believe so many awesome looking bats can be kept at one shop
-
Really enjoyed reading this thread..plus the pics too ..thnks for sharing guys :) some really lovely bats out there ..
-
Wow!! Excellent Bats! Tough to pick the best of the lot...I really liked the Spartan CG being checked out by Roco! How is the pickup on those?
-
Would like to thank Asad for having us, and answering our many many ridiculous questions about willow.
Your shop is truly a cricketers dream, the bat are top draw. Ridiculously well hand picked.
Hospitality and every was spot on.
Was top to meet a couple of new members and meet a couple of others I'd not met before!
-
Thanks Tom, the shop will become even better in the coming years. I am glad what I started few years ago (hand Picking), now others are following it. As u probably witnessed that our hand picking doesn't depend on how good the bat looks but how it will perform. I guarantee customers that our bats are at least one grade higher than what the sticker says.
I really enjoyed the day and will run another day before the season starts.
I am glad u enjoyed the day
-
Wow, some seriously good looking collection out there. Wish i would have been there too. Love those CA 15k, BAS and newbery.
-
We also have some hidden gems who we show to our special customers. All the forum members will be well looked after

Gonna start saving now then Asad, now that I know what to expect I know what to budget for next time.

Thanks Chris, it was great to share knowledge with you and some "secrets". I am hoping to have few Pakistan test players to visit the shop and may run net session with them when Pakistan visit England next. Hopefully face Ajmal and co

I seen a lot off top end bats in mind time this bat was 2.8 and had around 21 grains and was for a pro player it picked up like a dream and you bounced a old ball on it and it was pinging so well it was crazy the best bat I have ever laid my hands on and if you know the sort off bats I have had it is that good

Now I am letting my imagination make up for the lack of pics :). I have had a few bats from Asad bhai, all have been exceptional, and I can only imagine how good this was if he was not willing to sell it. Now lets hope he gets 2 of those clefts instead of one Simon or you might have to get a good security system for your house ;) lol
-
Sorry I won't be putting the photos of the bat. At present trying to source same kind of willow as I have to another order of 6 bats. I'll try to get 10 made and keep 4 for you guys to buy
-
To be fair, it was a stunning bat!
I should have taken some secret pics! ;)

Asad bhai if you say it will fly and be big for weight then grains are not important :), i can make up for the lack of grains in my cereal ;)
-
Thank you for ur understanding, money back on these bats if they don't perform. Have just been told that some cleft is available so I am going to pick and get the bats made.watch this space...
