Yes indeed many Pro bats are made in the UK every year but I have no figure on how many are rejected.

Who makes these bats? Had a look thru the search engine, some said malik?

Reason I ask, I saw a boom boom 175 ( blue sticker, think accelerator ? ) on Sunday. Was superb. 2-11, minimum 40mm edges, no concaving, beautifully finished with 11 straight even grains. Was a stunning looking bat.

Until last year their bats were made by Ihsan and this year they are made by SS.

A pro can make an ordinary bat perform as good as any other bat. Does more grains on a bat make it a "pro" bat.

I have no idea Asad as Pro's never mention grains to me. They either like the bat they pick up or reject it.

[Uzi Sports]

I 100% agree with you, all the pros i know never looked at the grains, their main criteria is
pick up(balance) and softness of the willow.

softness of willow? really?
I thought it would be rebound qualities and extra light weight clefts, as well as pick up and middle position.

I hear the pro's bats are going to be Made in England.

Most of Afridi's bats uptil the World Cup were SS and Abdul Razzaq's were AS.

[Cover_Drive]

Abdul Razzaq has been with AS for a long time.

Whenever Shahid Afridi goes to India he get his hands on SS bats, maybe he goes to factory.

When Pakistan team was here for the test series, I provided plain bats to few players.

Giving bats away to players is easy, making to their personal spec's is hard, have had county players fighting over a bat or 2 which seems to be a good sign to me. Every player is different, some simply don't really care, some are complete nerd's and the rest in between.

I sold bats to a senior Pakistani player last year who was a pleasure to deal with, tried to help a county second team reject this season and he was a nightmare, he didn't have a clue about the style, weight or build of his bats yet claimed to be very fussy, all he wanted was new stickers to show he was a sponsored player and put them on his old bats.

It would be very simplistic to group "Pro's" together, I like dealing with them as I like the kudos.

Of all the bats you have made or had made Mike, who was the most fussiest customer ?

Apparently one of Amir's Boom Boom bats has made it's way to my club. Not that Amir needs it now... Possibly through Mr. Hosk? Guy used it last night, sounded pretty sweet, but a bit bottom heavy pickup and not outstanding willow, but did go the distance when asked!

Does it cheat when asked too?

lad at our club acquired a Boom Boom from our good friend Will Bragg (Glamorgan) but i'm not sure where it originated from.

he's a textbook blocker so it's a bit wasted on him.
