I  hear that Boom Boom is pulling out of the UK market, is that true ? I'm in Pakistan and there still doing business here. I got this bat  from the factory outlet from Lahore.
Pretty nice willow for a 100 I guess, I like the ping of the bat really much, has a 40mm edge and weighs 2.8. Lots of concaving, spine of the bat is running down till the toe. Has like 6 grains, a good low middle aggressive bat ! And I love the new stickers from Boom Boom.

Do you have a decent profile pic?
As that bat looks to be nothing like a uk made english willow arrogance. It looks like a cheap Asian made blade with boom boom stickers on.



As far as I'm aware boom boom are bankrupt, hence all the sponsored Pakistan internationals no longer using it.
And there high quality bats were all uk made too.

[mussaduq]

sorry did'nt get you about the profile pic ?
Boom Boom are carrying on in Pakistan, the lower made Boom Boom bats are made in Pakistan.

Profile, the side view from Distance.

[i12breakfree]

I have been offered the made in Pakistan ones but they are no where close to the original shape that was release in UK. So this leaves arrogance no different than a signature/blaze profile



As per my supplier the one in UK made were CNC and therefore the handmade in Pakistan have a regular bat profile

[mussaduq]

I'll give you a profile shot soon today or tomorrow as the bat has been gone for knocking !

[smilley792]

I take it is Kashmir willow?


Bomb boom went bankrupt, owing thousands, so not sure show they can just continue in Pakistan. No questions asked.

Plus the logic behind losing money hand over Fist, so dropping the quality made bats and only selling the cheap made bats. Is bizarre,

I can only think someone has bought the boom boom name and stickering up there mass
Produced bats with them.

Or worse, someone has bought a truck load of stickers and Claiming to be boom boom?

[sgcricket]

why would you assume this is kashmir made? And even its not a cheap English made bat, Pakistan does produce decent bats. Don't understand why you would slate it.

[Blazer]

Can you give full profile side shot please ?. Doesn't Arrogance have offset edges ?.

[Alvaro]

Looks a good example of a low grade bat - good size for the weight.
You wouldn't expect a super special willow at this grade.

I hope you get some good runs with it mate.

It was more a question regarding Kashmir. Hence the ? And I can't see where I've slated it? I have 2 Kashmir bats that play fine.


I presume it is kashmir as, The arrogance 100 is the lowest grade arrogance, 150 175 and 250 signature being the higher grade.
Also it doesn't look to be the arrogance profile, many manufacturers(gn for one) offer Kashmir bats with the stickers on that don't match the profile(like this).


Also add the fact I know the high end boom boom bat maker, who has a stock room full off boom booms, and is out of pocket due to there bankruptcy. I find it Wierd there apparently still operating.

[sgcricket]

I'm sorry. I took the 'looks like a cheap Asian made' comment the wrong way.
Btw I believe that some of the best bat makers are in Pakistan, specifically at CA (And I am not Pakistani).

Thank you Alvaro, the bat pings good indeed !
And the 100 is G4 English Willow, 100 is not the lowest from Boom Boom. The lowest is 50 and then 75 !
I got this off the official outlet that is mentioned on Boom Boom's site so it cant be a fake and as I said you still can get Boom Boom bats in Pakistan !
