Asda has had the rep visit. There is a thread in the uzi sports section. Wasn't sure how to link it for you though!
-
i'll check with Slazenger rep and pm you when i am visiting. Have seen their new V12, V6 and V5 which are currently being made in UK

Yes I have seen your thread on that...
But more inclined towards v600, v6 and v1200.
And trust me, the bats you chose from 2013 range made me interested in slazenger....
Thanx

Genuinely thought Asda were going to stock cricket gear when I read that! :-[

Well, you never know. You can get Puma bats at Argos!!!
Albeit, the lower end of the range.
-
spoke to Slazenger boys, the new range will be early December
-
Just arrived back home after spending whole day at slazenger warehouse hand picking our 2014 range. Went through almost all the boxes and picked up some beautiful bats. Stock will arrive our shop on Friday so I will post photos. We still have some lovely 2013 slaz bats available

Very nice, cannot wait for the pics asad bhai.

You boys have such a hard job! There all day sorting through loads of bats. What a hardship! :(
-
True Pete, also had a good meeting with Talent and Romida guys. My bad habit is to open every single box and find the best bats.
It is not easy to hand pick but it depends what you are looking for. Every one has their own criteria.
Just wait and see what I picked
-
Just wait and see what I picked
now it ill be tough to wait till friday :-p

sorry couldn't bring the bats with me as it meant i had to stay another 2 hours. I still haven't recovered from yesterday, back is playing about.
-
With all your hand picked bats arriving. Looks like it might be a good time for another visit down to Swindon soon.

I believe we have the best bats in stock and yes probably the best time to come and try the new range , tried my best to get better bats at our shop than any other retailers. Well I leave the judgement to our customers
-
Stock will arrive our shop on Friday so I will post photos.
bad to keep us waiting asad bhai :-p

We haven't received the shipment, hopefully all the bats be here on Tuesday or Wednesday

Part of the delivery has arrived, will post photos soon
G4 bats are looking so good
-
Nice, having not played for 20 years until last season i had always used Slazenger as a kid think my bat was a Viv Richards Caribbean, so i ended up buying Slaz stuff at the start of last season .Then i joined here and couldn't believe what a bad rep they had even though my v500 elite absolutely flies. Looking forward to the pics though as i need some new gloves.
-
The only thing i can say that forum members will not be disappointed with our selection, especially those who love grains :)

Here are the bats we have received so far, still waiting for our Retro bats delivery

Jeeeeeeezzzz.... They are shockingly good looking for G3 and G4's :o! Do you have approximate prices for these or shall we wait for them to go up on the website :).
-
They are all massive bats for their weights, I haven't measured the edges but they look huge :o
-
What's your opinion on the double spine Asad?
-
Looks like slazenger got the pic of the willow this year. Awesome looking bats

It was hard work to find these bats, had to go through all their stock to find these gems

Are these all indian made asad ?

Yes true

Are you able to post a shot of the V600 G4's from the toe up, to show the amount concaving? Thx.
-
They look impressive, the stickering is far more minimalist and shows off more of the wood which I like. Slazenger really have fallen off the face of the earth here in Aus with Clarke switching to Spartan. I wonder if we will see a resurgence with Steve Smith emerging, or maybe they will make another marquee signing?
-
Nice looking bats Asad (as ever).
Have you got any pics of the back of the V1200? Looks like some king of 'mini scoop' going on?

Thanks, I am glad u like them.
Yes I can add the photos of the back of 1200

Beautiful looking bats, Asad. You're right, some of the bats you pick really are 2-3 grades higher than they are marked, it is ridiculous! In terms of the grading, do you find the top of the range performs much better than the lower ranges, or is it pretty close? That 2.10 V600 does look tempting! I hope most of the good ones are gone before I go on a cricket store tour in England, otherwise I'll be carrying too much back to Scotland!
I have to say, the stickers look better on these photos than the ones in the catalogues… I'm guessing it's one of those cases where they look better in flesh!
-
Great Selection Asad Bhai as always
those G4 look amazing. What does the product manual say about G4 - is it really Grade 4 willow ?
-
No TAS bats this year?

The bats do perform better than what the sticker says as my main aim is to find bats which will perform at least 2 grades higher than what the sticker says. I am saving few bats for you as u did a favour to me by letting me sell the bat which u originally reserved

Also the retro bats are arriving either Monday or Tuesday

Sounds great, I'm looking forward to February now! Performance is obviously key, but how you've managed to get low grade ones looking that good is impressive. :)
Those Retro bats are lovely, I bet they're going to fly off the shelves! I'm not a fan of heartwood, (prefer none) but the V5 which is a third heartwood looks stunning!

Totally agree mate, always seems to have some stunning bats lower down the grades as well. That V5 with heartwood does look amazing. Quite interested in it myself, be interested to see the weight and price. Personally like a bit of heartwood as long as its even along the blade.

Chad
We have loads of bats for you to go through and I am sure you will like quite a few. Regarding Slazenger I only showed few from our stock so there will be plenty for u to chose from when u visit
Regards
Asad
-
Quite a few members have emailed me asking for the weights of the the retro bats in the photos
Both V5 are 2.9
V12 are 2.7, 2.9 , 2.9
V6 are 2.9, 2.9 and 2.10
Performance is guaranteed on these bats
-
they look lovely,
Mark Waugh Slazenger V800 was the first bat i ever purchased when i was about 15, Handed it off to my cousin when he first started playing and havent had a slazenger since. 1 of these lovely retros would be a nice way to re-introduce myself i think.

The one heading to middle east (Shoab?) is as beautiful as anything else I have seen.
And are all the 2014 Slaz's made in the UK now?

I think only the V series (V12, V5 and V6) is Made in England

Nice bat that. So he uses legit slazengers? Where do you work skip?

That's got a really nice looking middle position and the edges are massive but she's definately a looker

Kingsgrove, he does like trying plenty of different stuff but the sticks Slaz send him a pretty special.

Can i ask Skip what made him choose the V100 over the rest of the range, anything inparticular or just felt nice

Players normally get told what stickers they will be endorsing.

So he had no say then just heres your bat and your endorsing the V100, can i ask does it sell well also

Wasn't a stock bat, when they become available yes they sell well. It's the actual bat the player cares about, not the stickers.
