Title: Uzi Diablo Players bat.
Post by: sanredrose on March 29, 2017, 11:47:55 PM

Following the Spartan Helicopter, next up in my purchase is the Uzi Diablo players bat. I have tried a couple of Uzi green mamba pro bats, but they were on the heavier side and I wanted something light and a little bit of concaving since I rely more on timing and swing speed. The new diablo range fit my requirements on paper, so got in touch with Asad and started hashing out details. It went on for almost 1.5 months before I finalized on a bat.

Specs
Weight - 2lb 9oz approx
Grains - 10
Edge - 37mm
Spine - 55mm
Has a curved face - not as much as GM F4.5 but its noticeable.

Ping test with mallet looks good. Goes into nets tonight. Will update with more comments soon. Until then enjoy the pics ...

That's a nice bat! Spine into the handle is pronounced.

@Shinpathy - Almost a Kahuna. Spine doesn't extend till the toe. Reminds me more of the Kook Impulse range ....

I was quite impressed with that actually. Thought it has a mid-low hitting zone, the balance is very good. Thick handle + exaggerated spine near the handle makes the balance very very good .... Feels almost like a mid-high middle bat in terms of balance.

Looks lovely @sanredrose, a really nice profile by the looks of it. The grains look nice and straight too and I love the stickers. Not overly fussed on the toe one but the others look really bold and eye catching.

Have you oiled the bat to get it that lovely golden colour or is that the polishing?

Looks, finish & performance - all credit goes to Asad @Uzi Sports. Asad took care of oiling and knocking prior to shipping the bat. All i did was apply a scuff sheet and use it in nets  ;)
