Title: My visit to see asad at Uzi sports
Post by: simonmay5 on January 18, 2015, 07:23:55 PM
I went to see asad today and all I can say is the quality off the bats in his shop is superb I can't belive their is that many bats under one roof I must off picked up over 100 bats and all was very nice indeed in the end I went for a stunning Salix supernatural and a chase volante and the gladiator elite asad was a real gent and manged to get my c6 refurbished it's come back like a brand new bat now for the picture you all want to see  :)

Sure is mate very impressed and it's worth the trip from Kent to see the bats really like the chase bats the performance was really good on them I went for the r4 as it just felt so responsive off the mallet might not be the best looking but boy does it ping  :D

Ah Chase, my local batmaker! My first bat from then was an R4 (then 150) and what it lacked in supermodel looks it made up for in performance! They're really nice bats mate, in sure you'll be pleased with it.

I love the Cadbury Newbery stickers, that looks top drawer! It really does look brand new stood in that lineup.

And that Gladiator caught my eye straight away! Full profile and duckbill toe, bat porn! What's the weight and edge size Si?

The gladiator has a 41 mm edge and it's 2.9 very pleased with it mate the chase just felt so nice when I hit it with the mallet I knew I had to have it for me it felt better than the higher grade chase bats so it just shows what you can get if your prepared to go though all the bats

It is very hard to pick which bat to use I am pleased to get my c6 back as it's a gun off a bat and are quiet rare now

Really like the new gladiator profile, any chance of a few more pics of profile comparisons please - how many bats is that now Simon?

41mm edges, no concaving and 2lb9! What witchcraft is this?  :o

P.s I call first dibs if it needs a new home  ;)

This seasons Ton bats don't have the stickers on the side or on the back at the bottom of the bat. Whilst it is the fuller profile I would guess it is last seasons stock.

Your right but think last years willow quality was better than this year from what I have seen

I hope you're right about the willow as I picked up a max power in the Lords sale. I'm also very tempted by what I have seen of Chase recently.

I think I saw this gladiator when I went.  It had a spring in it,  it was so good but I was sold on an uzi pro

I sure your be very pleased with the max power this is my first chase bat and very impressed not as good looking as top end but for me it's all about how well it taps up and boy did it tap up well

In my opinion, last year willow quality was better than this year plus you will pay less
