Got these 2 bats bats today.

One is the more "in" type of bat with professionals from the subcontinent - half redwood. The ping is great but the wood is very soft and may not last the full season. This bat has 37mm edges and weighs 2.9

The Bow 20/20 bat has almost 40mm edges and is 2.9.5. This bat picks up lighter than my Newbery UZI C6+ and has bigger edges than the UZI!!

Both these bats are from the lot made for a top current India International.

the pick-up is amazingly light on both these.

Got a set of pads which weigh only 600grams each!!

...two weeks later...
I have bought too many bats and must sell two of them, here are two lovely BAS bats.


Anyway nice bats they look great

these are here to stay. I have managed to right size my kit.  So just 3-4 bats now. But the BAS are here to stay at least till the season ends.

could be incase of the half heartwood bat. Have already been warned on this.

Oil it if it isnt put a facing on it afterwards and it should be fine, if the willow isnt over dried

i.e. "This bat picks up lighter than my Newbery UZI C6+ and has bigger edges than the UZI!!"

"This bat has 37mm edges and weighs 2.9"

Saying that there isnt much of a middle on 'em

My jealousy level has gone up 60%

why do you say that Norb? I think the middle thought not as long as in a GT is quite meaty. But the damn thing pings like a rocket (especially the one with redwood)..

Both bats have facing applied. However, I have take then facing off the bat with heartwood, given it a light sanding and  applied the Salix Bat wax. The bat wax works very well. It is made from bees wax and linseed oil.

Have changed the stickers a bit as they were very big and loud. Trimmed them and taken off the ones on the back. Looks better now.

Yash you have converted me, I like the profile of the millennium

Not a fan of those shapes really, don't like the stock shapes that the Indian brands make for their home markets. They seem to be all edge, no emphasis on middle.

That said the willow looks really nice on the left bat.

the shape and middle of the BAS were very helpful last season as the ball hardy bounced above waist height, so a low to mid middle came in very handy.

As for the stock shapes, guess the Aussies, the South Africans and other subcontinent countries would think the same of English bats!!

As for the middle it is big enough for me to hit the ball over the fence. I like to have more bat speed and would not mind a marginally smaller middle.

What make the difference is the pick-up and balance. And bot these bats beat my Newbery UZI C6+ hands down.

the middles on the bats look really high i think.....

I agree with you on the pick up and balance, the New range of BAS bats have extraordinary pick-up and balance.
