Title: My first RS Pro Edition Cricket Bat in VK shape
Post by: joymarvin on April 02, 2017, 11:29:18 AM
Hi All - Got this lovely RS bat few weeks ago but did not get the time to review it due to work commitments. Thanks to @i12breakfree, he got me in touch with Mr Surinder of RS and got this bat made for me in VK shape. The customer service and follow-up from him was brilliant till I received the bat in my hands. I am very happy with the end result of this bat and will definitely get one more bat in the near future. 

Handle - Full oval medium thickness
Finishing - Excellent
Weight - 2.10
Edges - 39 to 40mm
Spine - No idea
Pickup & Balance - Magnificent & picks up slightly lighter
Ping - Excellent
Grains - 9
Profile - VK full profile with a duckbill toe

Enjoy the pics:

I wish RS were more readily available. Have to be my favourite sticker set at the moment. Not too keen on edge stamps though, when done well they are great, but when they smudge they look a bit naff.

Lovely grains and a nice shape.

Definitely looking to get hold of one of these at some point.

Cracking choice of background too!  ;)

There are a few nice RS butterfly bats going for £99 atm. I was about to buy one and then I looked at how many bats I have already.

Oh, and I am loving the evenly spaced grains!

That's a very nice bat @joymarvin
RS bats are top quality and highly recommend. The pressing and finishing is at par with UK brands.
I have my t20 bat from RS ready to go for next game.

Do need some better quality pics though ;)

RS is no doubt making some awesome sticks. 300 USD including shipping is a very good  price for this stunner.

Excellent bat Joy, oil (mine only needed 1 coat of oil as the 2nd one didn't soak over 24 hrs) and knock it well. I haven't used mine yet but they have been knocked and they feel amazing. Raring to go :)

Thanks Tushar bhai. After knocking, the response is very good. Will use it in net soon before season ends in Dubai.
