They are Indian spec Kooks, not UK or Oz spec......hence the price.......still a bargain but you wont get the same quality as you would from a UK/Oz spec!

The Millennium and Hammer bats from BAS are very good and the finishing is nice too. I have taken a liking for bats with a mid middle so did not use my millennium much this season. But they are top stuff.

I would rate the BAS bats better than SS for quality and at par or slightly better than Kookaburra or other smaller UK brands in terms of quality and finishing.

The biggest plus for BAS is that their bats are £30-£70 cheaper for bat with similar quality willow

I agree with Yash that BAS bats are better value for money.

Asad

I hate it when I see generalisations like this.... Which other smaller UK brands are you referring to when you say "in terms of quality and finishing"

There are a handful of them, but that is my opinion having seen their bats. I do not feel it is necessary for me to name them here.

Regardless of specs , the EW should still be the same ?

Well if you don't want to name don't generalise!

you beat me to it norb - i am also interested to see which brands you include in this poorer quality and finish in comparison to the BAS bats?
I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with your statement, just interested in your answer

Not seen a Kippax so can't comment really,

Seen loads of Hunts though the one's you are refering are they made in the UK or India

Seen a few Kippax last season, LE's were finished nice and looked very nice bats, but lower down the scale finishing was poor

seen a few custom series bats (Triumph, Glory and one more cannot recall the name) which are made in the UK (at least HC claim that their top of the range bats are made in the UK)

yes not all their bats (can not go to check all their bats, just had a look at 3 retailers) but more than 50% (3 out of the 5 they do and these 3 are the higher selling ones)of their range and their top of the range bats....
