Whilst sitting on the sofa for much of last Saturday watching the rain fall, waiting for the inevitable message to come through that my first league game of the season was cancelled, I started working my way around the various Insta accounts for some of the larger and the smaller batmakers we have in the UK.
At some stage on the Saturday, I saw Keeley post some images of a new sticker range that they were launching in a very fetching royal / cadbury purple.
Over the long weekend, Keeley had 20% off all items using a discount code, so I thought I would get in touch with Keeley via their Instagram account to learn a little more about the new labels. From what I was told, this colour set will form part of their permanent range and if I were to place an order via the website, they would be happy to add these stickers to the bat.
I decided to take the plunge and order:
- Grade 3 Superior (2lb 8oz - 2lb 10oz)
- A Pink Bat Cover
- A set of Worx II Batting Gloves
I had a few messages on Tuesday to confirm the finer details of my order and yesterday, the box arrived with the new kit.
The bat is exactly what I was looking for. 2lb 9.1oz in its current form (I will butcher the grip setup at some stage today) and the gloves feel lovely.
Tapping up with both a new ball and an older ball, the bat feels great and makes a super sound. I will get the edges and the toes knocked in a little further and perhaps get ready to give it a go on Sunday.
Enjoy some photos!
