One of our ex overseas used to use a KG bat. Didnt think too highly of the bat itself but he scored lots of runs with it. Its an Indian firm.

not quite, a palm was crossed with silver.

it does have a lovely oval handle which is unusual for an Indian bat, in my (limited) experience.
I am pleasantly surprised by the bat, good finishing and a serious middle. Terrible stickers mind... am in the process of removing them and cleaning it up.

but hear is a hint of the edge size

when I first got the bat I thought it was a lam, but no it is not.

yes I needed to use a decent camera but, this is what I have at the moment. once it is cleaned up I will do better. tough on one leg and crutches though.

They are indian made, similar to SS and SG but a smaller company.  One of my clubmates swear by them.  He rates them better than the previously mentioned brands, in terms of quality and price.  A guy in opposing team had one last season.  He didn't last very long to see anything special but from what little I did see, it looked good.  One of the better indian made bats I think. 

How's the ping on that?

I have used KG bats back in India and they were top quality. The ones I had were better than any SS or SG I had used until that time.

They went silent for sometime, but have been a bit active and sponsored Bhajji for very short time. Some of Bhajji's and Punjab and Delhi Ranji players bats are still made by KG.

This one looks like a pretty neat bat.

How does it pick-up and tap?
