Morning all,
I recently brought one through the Sports Direct sale to be my net bat (bit heavier than my Woodstock).
Instead i have found myself using it instead if the Woodstock - bat goes like an absolute train. A teammate used it yesterday and said the performance is as good as anything he has ever used (He is sponsored by GN).
I have heard rumours that Slazenger are taking the cricket side of the business much more seriously this season - but in terms of value for money, I have never had a bat perform quite like the Slazenger - even my beloved Mjolnir's and Amplus's.
Anyone with any similar experiences? Or is this just a one off which I have got insanely lucky with?
-
I think you may have been lucky. I had a lower grade one that definitely wasn't special.

i like the idea behind the TAS and almost bought one the other week but chickened out at the last minute
-
What does the tas technology feel like? I've heard the tas bats vibrate more than usual. Middle feel impossibly wide compared to the concaving? Any pics?
-
I will post some tomorrow.
I will say the bat feels very, very rigid. Hardly any vibration from mistimed shots so it is certainly doing something. The bat I have certainly translates more mistimed shots into runs. I would say I had to knock it in, and play it in, for the first half of the season. They are pressed very firmly.
When I brought it, I brought a G2 as well.
The G2 was the same weight but had 37mm edges, the G1 I have has 41mm edges. The weight is 2'10.
My only complaint is the concaving which has to take place to get the edges big enough to support the TAS effectively - it is brutal.
-
Good you mentioned the time to knock in and their pressing. My V1200 fusion is getting better the longer I play it in and I think we all want a soft pressed bat that pings out of the wrapping.
I wouldn't worry too much about concaving either if it is playing well. Refurbished a Kookaburra Blade recently and it felt fine for off centre shots despite its concaving. I think it's just the flavour of the month.

They are mine - my first attempt. Will be going through a redesign in the off-season (when I have a moment!)

Think they're quality mate, I'd buy a 2 grained knotty thing for those stickers alone! :D

Make they are quality don't change them
-
I'd have to agree. Big fan. If you'd be willing to sell me a couple of sets and post to Australia I'd be happy to put of a few of my blank bats.
-
Nice looking bat. Nothing wrong with the bat concaving either, serious concaving is an old woodworm.
The stickers might get Hasbro interested, but for now you have a Monopoly on them. ;)

are these stickers put on Slaz G1 TAS?
-
Yes.

Question of the day goes to...

TAS inserts and toe guard is a dead giveaway....not to mention the thread title.
