Hi Guys and Girls one of our guys bought a bat of Assad, it is a BAS which Assad had made to his specifications if i remember correctly. It has some beautiful straight grains massive profile and weighs 2.8lb's but is featherlight only feels like a 2.4lb bat or a light harrow. I can't reccomend Assad enough as he spent nearly a whole day running to and from his store e mailing different pictures of bats to us of different bats. So a big thanks to Assad at Uzi sports and i hope you guys like the look of it. Oh our lad stickered it up to look like a puma as he likes the look of the Iridium.

How do you upload pictures?. I recently got a nice bat fro Asad which is similar

Looks a nice bat!

Got this from Asad about three weeks ago.
It is a 2lb 9 and has 8 straight grains. There was a choice or bats with more grains, but there was something about this bat and also what JM says about him looking for bats with 8 to 10 grains
It came up a bit heavy for me so i took the back stickers off, changed the grip and removed the toe garde. I also sanded down the toe and shoulders a touch and it feels a good bat now.
Have only used it for a few minutes in a net so a bit early to tell, but there is a lot of wood there and a caught one back foot cover drive well ( i am not much of a batsmen) and the resonse was encouraging.
Very pleased with it and the service by Asad, who always has time for you and has a very wide choice of bats. Something for every need.
I feel and hope this bat will become a right brute of a bat and look forward to using it more in the coming months.
It is going to be difficult to decide which bat between this and my redback to use!

Yeah we were really impressed with it and i have to give assad his due in the case of this bat it was a beauty and has one hell of a middle the ball absolutely flies of it. And it was a damn good price only a £100 delivered, 8 staight grains and near on completely blemish free face and a super light bat too.

nobody can knock asads bats they look good and so far play good at a good price to

Sozie - what was it before the stickers went on it?
-
A BAS..... bloomin blind cat.
-
He could have his own branding tool! ; ]
Ooops...wrong thread hehe
-
It is a BAS that had no markings on it and our lad put some Puma Iridium stickers on it
-
A BAS..... bloomin blind cat.
Which one for £100 posted - stoopid Gruffalo!
-
The BAS stickered as a Puma, really!!!!!!!
-
Cant say which BAS it was, as it was a bat supplied to Assad by specifications as in shape size weight etc that he dictated to BAS. You would have to e mail Assad and ask him if it was similar to any other BAS bat etc.
-
That looks great!
100 notes is a bargain. Where did you get the puma stickers?
Who us Asad?
Cheers
Matt
-
Asad is AS sports/Uzi sports, a forum advertiser
-
how is the grip on that handle?
-
Stickers i am told came from Greg chapel cricket in Australia and grip was just put on as they are on a bat handle.
And yeah we thoguht it was a bargain at a £100 notes or there about i think if i remember correctly. As it is definitely a grade one and is an absolute gun of a bat. But i see Assad has lots of good stuff on his UZI site at a good price. But to be fair there are a lot of good bargains out there if to be had at the moment if you hunt around.
