Still going strong.

So, Scored a century last Sunday, had a few beers to celebrate it. People usually text there ex, i text mr Jolly and order one more bat.

I realised it next day when mr jolly sent me a picture of a few clefts. One looked great. So, finalised the cleft and specs i needed.
Today the bat is ready and I get pictures of my new wand.

Trust me they are. I am in love with my current match bat. Tendulkar profile is all sweet spot, helps player like me to clear boundaries with miss hits.

With all india Pakistan situation lots of flights have been cancelled including commercials. That could be the reason if you placed order recently.

My order is from January 2019.

I had ordered some other stuff from India last week (which left last week), it is due to arrive tomorrow.

So, despite all, world still moves, nothing stops.

No idea then mate. I had bad experience dealing with him only time I tried to buy off him.
Since then I never went back.
Anthem is The one for me as Indian brand.

Post by: crystalmais on April 01, 2019, 11:37:57 AM: Having read all the reviews of RS on here - I contacted them for a bat and gloves for my 10 year old son. Got to say the service was great and the bat and gloves for the price I paid was fantastic. The bat is an absolute belter.
I gave Surinder all the specifications and he delivered. Actually considering getting another of him as my sons 2nd bat. I customised as it as a size 4.5

Post by: himanshuvohra on April 02, 2019, 05:14:56 PM: So, the bat finally arrived. Indian post took ages to deliver.
Great balance for a low middle 1350 gms bat.
Knocked it for half an hour, pretty responsive. Trying to get it ready for my game on sunday.
Finishing is at par with other indian brands if not better.

I am a noob when it comes to judge the pressing of a bat. But most of the asian bats i have used get subtle dents after initial knocking and next step is to level the face of the bat.

Post by: Psi on April 04, 2019, 12:37:55 PM: Yes, my mrf was incredibly soft. Even after 4 hours of mallet work you could see seam marks from an old ball bounced on the bat. So then I took it to Mr Cricket and they put it on the automatic knocking machine, which seems to have done the trick.
