Title: Online Stocklist custom bat
Post by: tajy86 on August 06, 2014, 03:08:53 PM
Hi there,
I was looking around on Online Stocklist for a light bat with as little concaving as possible and got a email from Ajit showing pictures of this 2.7 Custom Unbranded bat, has anyone had any experience with OS bats, how are they quality wise?
Thanks,
Taj

I've heard good positive things from him. I bought an SF from him yesterday which should arrive around the 14th/15th for me, but most people have had good experiences with him.

Softs I bought from OS were very prompt and look decent product.

Not sure on their bats however.

Not sure about custom bats but all bats provided by them to me are exceptional . They were all SS and he provided timely updates so thumbs up for their services .

For the first time I have heard so many guys praising OS, previously it would be a mixed reaction. Product supplied were always decent I believe but service (specifically delivery time) would be the main issue, looks like things are getting sorted by Ajit now. I myself bought the "Unbranded" bat the Plus LE Pro grade one and was very impressed with the quality of the bat, plays & looks very well, I would say well worth the money.

i got one from him; weighed 2.10 but picked up like 2.14 and was as dead as a Dodo. The service was excellent though and the bat arrived in under a week.

Wanted to check out onlinestockist's stuff. But their site seems to be down - getting a 403 forbidden error.

Bought a bat from him, cracked toe in the knocking in process - and he didn't want to know about it. That said - the bat was/is awesome (I had it fixed). Mate bought one from him and the handle went after its first couple of games. Again - he didn't want to know about it, so he had it fixed locally.

So you just need to offset the risk of something going wrong and having no recourse to fix with price. From a bricks and mortar local place nine times out of ten they'll help you out. With a place like onlinestockist, nine times out of ten they won't help you out if there is an issue.

Teammate has let me prep three bats he purchased from this supplier and said he was very good to deal with. Bats seem to be fine, even the grade 3/4 performed well.

i might have been able to but didn't bother. The bat was cheap and it would have cost me as much to send it back. I chalked it up experience.

As has been said many times on the forum, grade is not directly correlated with performance. It's really just about looks.

I agree and I was merely pointing out that this suppliers custom mades performed across all grades.

The main downside for me is the postage... But that's no reflection on him or his service.

Yeah, I'm, really liking the custom gloves I got from them, Tempted to buy the pads but $50AUD for postage makes them a bit much.

Ajit is a great guy who is unfairly maligned on this forum.

Ajit is a genuine great guy who delivers on his promises.

Great bats and gear...you cannot go wrong.

I love OLS and I shall continue to be a loyal customer of this fine, upstanding retailer.

Selling Gladiators at almost the same price as UK stockists.
