[Contrails]

As said before Indian brand bats are drier and pressed softly.  They offer immediate performance but lack longevity.   

Interestingly enough, recently I have seen two Western brands that are Indian made (GN and Kook) crack on the edges just after two net sessions.  Good quality old balls were being used and a max speed of 110kph.  So the latest bats from GN and Kook seem to be extra dried too with the exception of the UK made ones - stand to be corrected.

The amount of Aussie GN's I've seen have handle/shoulder issues is astronomical. Even the top grade ones made in Australia. Easily the worst out of any brand that I've seen

I have used RNS and BDM both indian brands have given me very satisfactory results. SS, SG have been the market leaders at least in the Indian sub continent but their qualities vary from season to season. Yes they are soft pressed and over dried but if oiled and knocked properly then they serve you over a long period of time.

I've used them Asian & UK bats...

Asian bats are soft pressed imo and drier, it also tends to play well straight out.
If oiled and knocked properly they will last long. Some might say its cheaper when compared to UK bats. Good option for weekend warriors.

UK bats need time to open up into its full potential. If you net once or twice a week and play games over the weekend then I think UK bats will get the knocking they need before a game.

Just my two cents, Not here to prove anyone wrong.
