Richy, I know you value my opinion (now I am a proper batsman) -

CA - had a top end and a mid range, both very good and would consider another one.

Ihsan - nice shapes and blades, crap handles - many break. Would suspect their blads would be very good with a decent English fitted handle.

Have seen a few very good CA8000 and 5000, which can be very good bats on a budget.

Brucie your opinions are always welcome as is your money should you want any more boots lol, I'm split between opinions regarding Ihsan as the ones ive seen up close and used have been very good indeed but some people don't rate them and mention the handles a lot which i was wondering if that was just one of those comments people associate with a brand as they read it somewhere if you get what i mean.

Decided to try both out myself so i have them on there way and will see what they are like, have to say though ive seen some lovely CA bats around although not many players use them so i may do well with them.

 I had a ca plus 10000 was very good before the handle went on it. The handles on Asian bats need to improve.

Used both top and mid ranged bats. Performance is almost identical, ihsan is cheaper. Handles are the weak link. In fact all pakistani made bats i have used which include mb, as, mids, ihsan and ca the handles went.

One of my friends has been through a couple of ca 10000 s which have cracked down the length of the face and then split spectacularly in the last season.

I have a lot of time for CA, only had one Ihsan and it was very poor but middle of the range. Softs have been poor for both brands, must be why Boom Boom have all their kit made in India, no one seems to do any decent one in Pakistan.
Agree with you on the softs but don't agree on the quality of CA and Ihsan bats. Without going into family problems Ihsan had, . they have improved their bats  quality in recent years and regarded as one of the Top brands with CA in pakistan. I know a lot of Pakistani players get their bats made by CA and Ihsan as well as AM. Some use SS as well.
Have sold many CA and only 1-2 came back where there was a problem with the handle.
Got latest Ihsan bats and see How they go.

Latests Boom Boom Softs are no good as well compared to what I can buy from SS at the same price

Regards

Asad

Contact CA Factory directly in Pakistan that is the best and safest route because there are loads of fake floating in Pakistani market (assuming).

Have seen people getting beauties from CA's factory..

I've got a batch of stunning blank bats coming directly from CA next week, will have some to match anything seen on TV, and will be eager to do an unbeatable price too.
