Title: Blank BAS picked up at the forum day
Post by: wilkie113 on November 24, 2013, 05:34:03 PM
Forum days are always a difficult time for us forum members with there being lovely bats and cricket gear around.
I had planned not to buy anything, which didn't work.
I picked this BAS up and immediately loved the pick up. Tick number one on the list.
Looks a nice bat as well, pretty straight grains with only one blemish of real note.
Then I picked a ball up and had a little tap and it truly rocketed!
I tucked it away to one side, and continued to look around at the bats. But always came back to this one so I purchased it!
Not sure what the measurements are, as I haven't weighed it.
Finished really well also!
I have given this around an hours knocking in, and I can't wait to give her a run out soon hopefully!
Asad's stock really is ridiculous, and you could do a lot worse than go and have a look around and pick a bat from Uzi sports.
Some pictures of the bat here.

That bat was amazing a real dream to hold as pick up amazing and ping was also superb.

Every time Wilkie put it down it ended up in with a little collection was Fattus was building and found its way into my collection twice on the day but Wlkie managed to make his mind up before the rest of us.

These Bas pics are making me plan a little journey back to Asad soon me thinks.

Really do like this bat.

I wanted to steal it but you guarded it so well!!!

I am looking to get a bats made up with a shape similar to this. My idea is is to tour it around with some members and get feedback. Would be great for you to have a go and how it compares to this beast Tom

Well I bought some Kashmir kooks off sports direct for the stickers to match my sofas. I've never had the urge to do this before but I don't know what came over me! Apologies for the iPad pictures. The tape on the edges is just a bit of a laugh lol!!!

What do we think?

Done a good job with those stickers. If you want to get rid of the 'BAS' branding then some sand paper wrapped around a small screwdriver will allow you to get the worst of it out then a gentle sand over the top and you wouldn't have know it was there.

I have had three of these bank BAS bats from Asad over the last few years and they have all been guns.

Thanks for the clarification Asad... I just didn't want anyone mislead considering it states on your website "All our bats are hand -picked by personally visiting suppliers (Gray Nicolls, Kookaburra, Newbery, Salix, SS, BAS, CA Sports etc) warehouses to ensure that only the finest bats are selected for our shelves and each bat is selected and tested for performance, balance and pick up rather than looks.

I'm sure they are cracking bats... I don't think I have seen a bad looking BAS.

Thanks for highlighting that , Even these are selected by them, we still go through our testing and don't sell the ones which are not up to our standards. :)
Thanks for the feedback on BAS bats
