Custom Sareen Sports Bat Review
« on: February 04, 2013, 10:24:54 PM »

Just got this bat thirty minutes ago. I was told it is 2.11 (spine around 71mm actually 66mm, many thanks to Chad for pointing it out :) ) and it feels like that, does not feel an ounce lighter. Pickup is tad bottom heavy but overall the balance appears to be good. Middle seem to be elongated and is quite massive bat. It has a thin round handle so I applied half GM Shock Absorba and double thickness chevron on top. Seems like soft pressed as indentations are easily visible after tapping with the mallet.

I was told this is replicate of Virat Kohli shape.

Its my first Sareen Sports bat, I always detested their off-shelf shapes so with this crossing my eyes, I was allured.

As I was playing around I noticed underneath the twine there appears to be some sort of webbing (picture is below).

Hopefully will use it next weekend and update this thread. In the meantime here are the pictures (bear with me as they were taken from a new phone for the first time).

If anyone has any question(s) feel free to ask.

Thank you!

That's a big bat! Are you happy with it? It doesn't quite look as big as a 71mm spine height, but that could just be me! How do you measure spine height out of interest? I lay my bat facing up on a table, then measure the distance from the surface of the table to the edge of the bat at the middle while lifting the bat slightly so only the spine is touching the table. Not sure if it is that accurate though...

I like how this one has got a very mild concave. You should have asked for a nice oval handle!

After your post, I went and re-measured and I was wrong initially, not sure how I came up with 71mm. It is 66mm with rounded edges (after the pictures I rounded the edges).

I do just like that but against the wall.

Many thanks for pointing it out, you have sharp eyes mate! :D

That looks like a lovely bat mate, where did it come from mate?? Asain bats always seem to have some lovely grains going on at the moment.
