Mb malik limited edition is the same as the regular bubber sher. Its just marketing to attain a higher price !

The Malike LE that I'm using has one of the best middles I've ever felt. I just hope the inevitable handle change won't mess that up!

How do you know the LE is not a higher grade of willow?

I own a Malik LE, the willow quality (looks) are better than Bubber Sher. It has big middle and huge edges (though more concaving that I would like), the toe end of the bat is really dead. Its a beauty if the ball comes onto the middle or higher middle end of the bat. My bat has almost 12 clean grains (except for a small blemish).

Do you have any evidence to back this up? In my opinion the same could be said about all/ any bat grading but from personal experience and having owned a Bubber Sher and now two LEs the performance and rebound is noticeably better on both the LEs. The Sher was a good bat but for some reason I didn't get on with it.

Having said that, the shapes are indeed very similar and the Sher looked like a grade 1 too. But the balance and pick up on the LEs are amazing compared to the Sher I had...

I'm with others on this one! It is quotes like this that we need to address!
If you have evidence about this claim then I will back you up and say,"Well done for pointing this out fella!"
But to blurt out this claim without backing it up in any way, then it's simply unfair on the brand!!

So what evidence are you basing this on?

A question for owners of CA bats,  Do you find that they aren't the weight stated on the side sticker.

[i12breakfree]

The last two I received were quite close to the sticker weight - may be .1 , .2 oz difference
So if stated 2-10 , then my machine showed 2-10.2
You do have to remove the plastic cover and any extra face sheet supplier with the bat before you weight it and then it should match the sticker.

This is the inconsistency that most talk about with Asian/ Pakistani bats.

Both a friend and I bought CA plus 10000. His was stickered 2.7 (despite asking for a 2. and actually weighs 2.7

Where as the one I have says 2.8 but is just short of 2.10

So I don't really buy the "it's the weight without stickers" theory- just inconsistency. Which is frustrating as both are fantastic bats and pingtastic. But I wanted to try a lighter bat (2.8 max) so will have to sell this one.

Another question about CA bats, I have two of them handed in to knock but it feels pressed hard. Are they generally pressed hard ?. I love the plus 8000 profile with no concave.

When I bought my Dads for him I knocked it in for him too. It did feel very hard pressed but started going like a gun after a couple of hours with the mallet and a few nets with it.

Found one of mine to be hard pressed, but went like a train from ball one according to the user, and only got better! Another one was slightly softer pressed, but still went.

From the initial response off the mallet I'm sure it would have gone from the off despite the pressing. I just can't let a bat get used without being knocked in if I can help it haha

For me, it depends which bat it is to be honest! I like knocking in bats, although I have found myself not really knocking in the harder pressed ones as much. I'm currently knocking in a Strauss LE Powerbow, which was pressed nice and softly, and it's responding really nicely. Also just got a beauty of a B&S in for a friend from Jake, gave it a few whacks with the mallet and it seems pretty close to being ready! I guess it all depends on the feel, I'll always give every bat some mallet time before usage. I ALWAYS start off very gently when I start playing with a bat though!
