Also I'm not sure if this happens with all Salixs but this one had a full face scuff sheet which is of great quality as well.

If that marking is the reaon why its Rogue then hats off to Salix for there strict grading system

I've seen some Full Face Scuffs on other Salixes, though I suspect Asad would know the answer. If neither you nor he could find anything else to suggest it is a rogue, surely it must be the iron staining. Remember that the Salix Grade 1 Bats have to be absolutely flawless, or they're binned, such is the quality of the finishing that more often than not you see amazing pieces of willow coming out to us in the UK (and World) market.

Personally I was happy with the scuff sheet and wish to get hold of another one of similar quality for my MB LE

Well Asad had a good time looking for defects as I had requested him to look for and he didn't find any nor I found any. So I think its only iron mark but will wait to hear more from Tom.

I will once again appreciate Asad Bhai's honesty that he didn't lie by trying to sell his product and was honest all the way through the deal. People like Asad Bhai are very very rare in this world, in fact, very rare for me

very nice bat cover_drive.. I wish i could have a similar bat. I'll ask Asad if he can get me a similar bat. I don't know whether its the way you took pictures OR the bat itself.. But it looks a beauty..  Can I ask you one thing, I think the pitches in USA and Canada are almost the same, slow and low.. Which bat did you like the most when playing? stroke wise, feel wise etc.. I know you have some wuality bats like Malik, Newberry, salix, CA.

Thanks for your kind words Rajesh Bhai :)

Well this was the second time I had dealt with Asad Bhai and as I deal with him he gets better and better and he is top bloke so I'm sure he will have something up in his selvees (check bat number 2, it looks similar but have a defect which is not serious to be honest).

Mate ask whatever you wish to :)

Personally I like low middle bats such as Newbery Krakatoa, Gray Nicolls Powerbow etc and I look to play on front foot and these low profile bats suit me but not even that I like low sweetspot bat.

I saw Gray Nicolls Oblivion 4/5 Star at my local shop and it had a very good low profile and I fell in love with it so I will be considering buying it (InshAllah).

If you have any more question(s) please don't hesitate to ask .

Had a 10 minutes net session with my Salix and this bat not only looks good but plays exceptionally well as well!

I had thought the toe was weak but few drives went off the toe and they did go far and the sound was a good one.

The middle is very large and very good one. Off the middle bat goes like rocket! I like to play on front foot and for that low sweetspot bat is ideal but this bat played very well!

Overall I'm very statisfied and happy with its performance today.
