Bought this from Asad
« on: April 27, 2011, 11:16:50 AM »

Hi All

I bought this CA PLUS 5000 from Asad just over a week ago.
It is 2lb10oz but picks up a lot lighter. It is a fantastic bat and as you can tell from the pics this isn't a normal PLUS 5000, The Profile is awesome the edge is 38mm. Counted 11 pretty straight grains apart from whete the butterfly stain is. Initial feedback from the mallet is "OMG".
Took it to training last night and had abt 10 throw downs with a quality old ball and was so so impressed with the response from the bat. Need to do another hour or so knocking in and then apply a Hammer Edge courtesy of Talisman.
See what you guys think but all i can say is thank you to Asad for fantastic service.

Looks nice, never had a play with a CA bat before. Really fancy going to their shop and having a look around, most of their bats look very good.

I have seen many CA bats over the year but let me tell you one thing your CA is a beauty! In fact it is one of the best I have seen for 5000 Plus model seriously!

Very good bat I hope it serves you very well!

Just an advice CA bats generally don't require much of knocking so be concise in terms of time when it comes to knocking.
