Probably the first retailer to have actual stock of Keeleys Bats.
We visited Keeleys yesterday and hand selected bats as well as clefts for our stock order. Managed to get 2 bats (see photos below) made while we were there.
They have 3 models (3 shapes) in Bats range,
Superior - Just one grade made from the best available willow
Worx 0117 - These come in 3 grades
Worx 074 - These come in 3 grades
The softs/ Bags are arriving in November , so we will have these available at that time. I will post photos of the Softs later today. They are not finish products so there may be few small changes

What's the specs and prices on these?
The black one looks perfect! :o
-
My favourite is White ;)
Black = 2.13
White = 2.12
haven't worked out the price but it will be around £450 for Superior bats
-
May be a silly question but aren't these supposed to both be the same profile? They have completely different toes on them?

Maybe for the choice of a pretty square toe and a more rounded one? just a guess.
-
Maybe one is the indian made model ala Newbery :D

correct, u have choice of Semi oval or full oval handle as well Toe (square or round)
-
oh my!!!
-

All the bats are made in UK and these were made infront of me so perhaps think before you post such comments. When Tim owned Newbery every bat was made in UK. How Newbery do their business has got nothing to do with him.
As said in my earlier post , you can have square or round toe as well as Semi or Full Oval handle so there are few options available and the reason of getting one with Sq toe and other round was exactly to show that these little changes can be adopted

Great buy! And what a claim to fame for your first post!

With grains like that, it was only a matter of time!!
Both bats are totally stunning!! :D
Opinions are probably split on these bats, but I prefer the black stickered bat!
Knowing how well TK presses his bats, i suspect that both will be incredible :)

I was torn as well. But Asad recommended the White one. He was phenomenal to deal with so I trusted his choice.

If Asad recommended it, it’ll be a belter!

Pressing on these bats is same as what he provides to Professional players

I must say those softs are stunning
-
Love the gloves, not sure on the pads as I don’t like bottom of the canes going the full length... saying that I will probs end up getting them
-
Wow, stunning softs!
Will probably need to get a matching set for next season now :o
-
Those 9 cane pads are stunning!!!
-
Not a fan.. At the moment anyway.
-
Dare I ask the price? :-[

The pads are growing on me the more I look at them, love the gold split gloves though!
-
That KK logo... I'm sure there's something very similar out there somewhere. It's also vile, which is a shame as that apart the kit looks lovely.
-
Not a huge fan of the canes right down to the instep, can't put my finger on it but just looks wrong.

We have few more Keeley Superior bats made around 2.10 weight , few of these are already sold. All Hand picked, If any one wants to buy one get in touch or come and try at our shop

Apologies if you have mentioned this elsewhere but is it possible to get a Keeley custom made through you Asad?

Plz DM me

Yes ,
Do they have any bow in them?
-
Overrated. Significantly overrated imho.
-
@Nmcgee what’s overrated? The brand or the maker?
-
Do they have any bow in them?
Yes, all the bats in the range have bow
-
Overrated. Significantly overrated imho.
Have you used the bats from the range so How can you justify that?
-

Interesting,what was it you didn't like about them? I feel same about Lavers yet some swear by them. A Keeley is pretty much the last of the well known makers for my collection, H4L so far has been the best of the rest next SK for me.

I’m taking the kids to legoland tomorrow, I’m now thinking how to convince the wife that a detour to Swindon will be a good idea!! 😉

I didn't care for the pressing, pick up, handle, etc. The H4L bats I've had are a million times better in my opinion.

Avoid it like the plague. I took the family there a few years ago. It cost a fortune to get in and was so rammed we only got on 2 rides. If there is any sort of traffic 2 miles from the entrance then knock it on the head. Spend the money you saved at Uzi, get the kids some lego and give the rest of the cash to the missus. You will have a more enjoyable day and leave with better memories.
To be fair the missus took the kids back to Legoland during a school inset day and as it was less busy. Theyhad a great time.

Do people buy TK bats based on reputation? Do they genuinely feel that they are best bats for the money? Do they buy out of curiosity?

I have had plenty of TK bats and I have never had a bad one. To be fair they do tend to be consistent with 3 or 4 being absolute guns! :o
I have not really found a bad one although a couple have not tapped up as well as some of the others!
And H4L - tend to agree that Matt produces some insane bats.
But really each to their own, and as long as the person has used some then opinions will always vary on experience.
-
Simply my opinion. It's not to say that the bats advertised here aren't very good. Possibly I didn't give them enough time to open up.
I also feel Lavers are over pressed and a bit overrated.....but that's another thread.
-
Yes

Not new news, but interesting to see the branded bats in the background.

Her indoors has booked a package with a hotel, entry and queue jumper tickets. I'm sure 2 days spent in Asad's shop picking bats out would be much more fun though. I'd not get my little lad out of the shop!
