Hey guys
Would anyone be able to nudge me in the correct direction in getting a blank Tim Keeley cricket bat made?

You may have answered your own question
Speak to Blank Bats, Bulldog, Ayrtek, uzi sports could all help you

Buy a Blank bat and peel the 3 stickers off ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Are we sure this is correct information we're sharing?
Blank Bats are wonderful, but I believe they've recently concluded their Hunts for a new bat maker
-
Rumour has it from a pretty reliable source of mine that Newbery have come back in to agreement with TK...
-
Oooohhhh 2 makers or split from current already?

Unsure, but from what I've been told TK is back involved again to some extent

Totally false.
Hunts do the BB repairs only.
-
Sooo blank bats or UZI?

Held couple of blank bats in the past and they feel great

Who does the Kelley brand that I am seeing on the T29 blast today
-
There is a company called T W Keeley Ltd who make sports goods
-

There are sponsors on here that can help with a bat from the same source
-
Yeah I'm aware that Tim Kelley makes for various people.
I was really wondering about the story if what he is doing with the main brands and if he is pushing his own brand now. I would guess when he sold Newbury he was tied
-

Interesting.

Wouldn't surprise me, to go from the best Batmaker in the World, to Indian/and a handful of Aldred bats will surely have resulted in a reduction of quality and a few upset customers.

Another little teaser for all you guys looking at them. Personally not a fan of these stickers and pretty sure they're not going to be the final draft. The classic range of stickers he is creating however are very nice
-
Fibreglass scuff sheets!
-
They are horrendous
-
Gordon Bennett further delayed launch because of a disaster with the livery. The last lot were just fine!!

Clearly someone who knows their stuff if they use fibreglass scuff sheets!

I have a Hunts Insignia with a fibreglass scuff sheet. I've not scored many runs with it, mind.
-
Getting through the sticker designs aren't they! I quite like these, pretty smart/good colours plus should stand out well on TV and all.

I'm not sure that's got much to do with the scuff sheet
-
The new stickers aren't bad, it's the grips that don't suit them in the instagram post
-
Personally like that set up, fibreglass scuff sheets are decent if you get decent quality ones cheap ones are awful to apply
-
I'm not sure that's got much to do with the scuff sheet
I'm absolutely certain it hasn't. Or edge size, density, middle position etc. It's entirely due to my poor batsmanship.
I was simply trying to impress on Cam that (by his definitions) I 'knew my stuff'.

Ps , fibreglass is the bees knees, Ive never understood the hate .

You win.

Everything seemed to be going ok off the fibreglass sheet in the T20 game last night.

With the stickers....
-
^ It has no stickers. It is a Newbery Blitz shaped bat, mostly heartwood and 22 ruler straight grains. I bought it from Uzi Sports and requested no stickers to keep the weight down, 2-10 single grip.
-
I have several TK and even one made by FK.
All are quality pressing and beautifully made!!

Glad the joke wasn't completely lost. Who is the 'F' in the Keeley family?
-
Fred :)
-
Hmmm.
-
Spotted on sky this morning with rob key using one to explain drills
-
He would do they used to make them for him
-
I hope a load of the pros he has made bats for in the past find ways, like that, of repaying the favour.
-
What greater testimony could he want than The Buzzard and The Stig using his products all over YouTube?

A lot.
Plus I have no idea what has happened to the stig.

Is anyone close to TK or NK to find out if they will launch their brand prior to the start of next season?
-
What about FK?

Brucie, who is fk..

I think a better phrase is - "who the FK is?........."
FK is the unsung genius!

Tim will be doing a pre Christmas Launch
-
Anyone interested in Keeley. Cook and Matthew just posted a photo on Instagram saying they will be stocking them soon also there is an image of all white pads and gloves with Keeley branding.
-
Was hoping for something other than a total copy of H4L, slightly disappointing to be honest. Literally just the H4L customs design with the logos changed! (Probably be the old H4L customs shortly too!!).
-
Stuff looks much better than early designs. Always enjoy trying to spot which bats in the BG belong to which player.
-
Can you post a link, can't find anything.

They do look rather similar tasty! Very similar to H4L Custom softs but that's not a bad thing!

Presuming the TKs will be more expensive, why spend more on the same?

There's no coloured writing on the sidewings of the Keeley pads, bit there is in the H4Ls.
Due to my strange kit OCD I'd go for the pair with the plain sidewings every time. Keeley's for me!

Just started saving

More people on the tandon wagon

How will this affect brands that they supply as surely they will want to keep the better clefts for their keeley branded bats ??
-
I hope a load of the pros he has made bats for in the past find ways, like that, of repaying the favour.
It just doesn't happen Buzz.
-
I wonder how many on here with a TK made bat will try and get their hands on some stickers?
-

Could say the same for all the other brands that white label too I guess, just off the top of my head you're looking at B3, Jedi, Hunts, Kippax & H4L amongst others.
If they were to keep all the decent clefts for themselves then it'd only be a matter of time before the sub-companies went elsewhere - it'll be in their interest to carry on as normal unless they start selling hundreds of 'Keeley' bats I guess! (Wouldn't be surprised if Newbery would've been seeing the majority of the top clefts anyway).
-

Hmmm! I do have a couple of gorgeous Black Cats! Stop putting ideas into my head!
-
Does anyone really like the stickers? They look a bit bedroom brand to me.

Who cares about the stickers, surely having keeled written on them proves who it's made by meening the bat is likely to be a gun? You can always take the stickers off?
-

I know, but it is good to hope!

@Vitas Cricket @Uzi Sports will either of you guys be stocking Keeley bats, softs etc?

Yes we will be , picking bats up next week and if softs are available we will bring few pairs

No different for you Asad? You always went to Tim anyway, so the only difference would be the branding.
I assume the quality will still be the same high standard!!
-
@Uzi Sports do you have any indication on the pricing yet, Asad?

No idea at the moment , all will be revealed next week

According to a post on twitter I've just seen from Cook and Matthews, they'll be charging £240 for Grade 3's
-
That makes them some expensive stickers compared to say Blank Bats!
-
Hmmm...am I glad I stocked up on these Keeley made bats when I had the chance. Beauties they are. :D

I've suddenly lost interest in these...
Silly money when you can get a UK made Grade 1 custom for less than a Grade 3 :(
-
visited yesterday Keeleys to select clefts for our stock of their range, 3 shapes will be in the range. Softs look good as well. We got 2 bats made during our stay which i will be posting photos of later today. The Keeley bats range will be available next week . Softs will be available in November

With the range basically out there for everyone to see now....I thought it would be a good time to share two very special bats that I got from them a couple of months back
If someone could tell me how to resize as doing this from my phone :o
-
Thanks to forum learning if you stick an L at the end of the mix of Numbers letters before the .jpeg it resizes them for u....Ps lovely looking sticks
-
Looks really nice!
How is the performance?

I’m lucky enough to have had some very good bats from the guys. These 2 are probably in the top 3 bats I’ve had from them in terms of feel and performance. Have been using one towards the end of the season and it’s been great so far. Other one will no doubt be the same.
Having seen some of the ones he’s produced for Asads own range I’m sure yours will be very good
-
Lovely sticks and perfect bat shape to me..Also the handles look thicker than the older newberys which is surprising as i thought TK prefers to make quite thin handles..
-
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but watching HK Sixes, Darren Stevens using a Keeley bat, good signing!
-
Can't find these blades :( Someone make my day better please :D
-
@OllieWalker39 check out Cook and Matthews on Twitter and Instagram
Seeing the prices may not make your day better though...

@WalkingWicket37 Do they come with Vaseline as standard?!?!
I can't find them on their website, just the pictures you linked me to... I had a TK made Newbery and it was an absolute weapon. But as all good things come to an end.. I want a replacement TK blade! Fear that £425 makes it beyond ridiculous!
-
I'm sure there are a few brands that get their bats made at the same place...
-
@mattw possible hints? ;)
-
we have got their bats, we were the first retailer to stock them. I am going to add the bats on our web site, just waiting for Keeley logo.

Bats which separate white light in to a spectrum of colours would be the particular one hinted at
