Oblivion LE Being Made......
« on: March 13, 2011, 09:21:24 PM »
So as some of you guys might know I ordered Oblivion LE from Asad Bhai when he was visiting the factory but he didn't find any bat according to my specs so Asad Bhai at UziSports was kind enough to custom order the bat for me!

So below is the picture of my Oblivion LE cleft;



To be honest, I have never ever in my life have seen Gray Nicolls sending pictures of the clefts prior to the bat being made and Asad Bhai was top bloke when it came to this! I was delighted because as I said no other retailers provide such service and no one is willing to email or send me pictures and I have spoken to many actually!

So let me know what you guys think of it!

Cheers

CD,

Looks a nice wish list. What happens if the bat made does not meet your spec? Can/will you cancel the order?

Christ that's a fair ask for 2.8-2.9 CD for any Batmaker never mind the big boys at GN! Would be hard to push 40 and 70 without an extra drying process and some serious concaving. Be very interesting to see what comes back fella. Good luck with that one

d7bow, actually I have been waiting for this bat for more than a month now and they have my specs so I am sure that this bat will meet my requirements because it took GN a while to find my requirement specs so I think I will not be disappointed.

PW88, if it's +\- 2-3 mm even then I think it's fine but my primary aim was to get what they give to there pros so let's hope how it turns out.

GN should sell a lot of these this year, price has gone up from £150 to £200 at Lords so why would you ever get a shop bat when you can get this service.
