Hi Guys,

Last week i went to India for a short trip and visited Meerut city where all top brands are made.

My past experience with SS bats very good so after visiting SG, SF, BDM and SS, i really liked two SS bats.

1- TON RESERVE EDITION

This is the top range of SS, they claim that they use same willow as being used for International cricketer. The bat which i bought is an exceptional piece of willow, specs as below.

Willow: Amazing, 17 dead straight grains
Edges: 40 mm
Weight:2lb 9.5 oz
Concaving: yes
Balance: perfect
Pick up:light

Overall very very impressed with this bat, definitely one of the best i have ever owned, highly recommended.

2- SS Limited Edition

This is also very nice bat.

Specs

Willow: G1 with nice 10 straight grains
Edges 37mm
weight: 2.9
Balance: Superb with very light pick up

This bat is amazing considering a relatively small price i paid for this.

Will post pics later today.

QUERIES AND CRITICISM BOTH WELCOME.

Sorry Guys,

Today was very hectic day, was busy in playing 20/20 semifinal match. Trying to post pics now.

It didn't happen if there isn't any pictures 

[mujju]

Can u put up some pics mate ...looking foward for the pics

[parthnayak]

Hello mate , one question, where did you get your bats from I.e. were you allowed to visit them directly or got it through other ways ... Definitely interested 

[smilley792]

I still don't understand the need to post thread on here about a bat when you don't have pics.

Is the few hours between getting pics gonna make a difference?

As all the replies contain anyway is "pics please" "wheres the pics?" "Thread is worthless without pics"

[kal_m]

How much did you pay for them? And like other posts please post some pics.

Look when you have owned the bats shoab has you will understand he knows quality.
He has set me a challenge one I hope to pass.

He has owned the best bats in the world I'm sure his pictures will be up soon calm down

[kal_m]

He has owned the best bats in the world

And they are...

[procricket]

Ask him he has owned so many it not my place to list but trust me he has been on a crusade one I couldn't afford mate

[kal_m]

Shoab, I would be very interested in knowing your top bats .

And in general, how can anyone rank the bats, is it by price or best sellers or performance (longevity)?

[patriotscreen]

I'm not sure what to make of Indian bats. Some people rant and rave about how good they are and other people say they are dry and damage too easily. Would love to try out a TON someday though

My advice would be either SS TON Gladiator or TON LE (best value for money). And if you have any friends/family in India, ask them to get you one from a reputed store.Will be a lot cheaper.

[rajesh500]

I got SS LE from Jallandhar as well.. The retailer gave 25% discount on the actual price which was I think 14500 Rs.
I am in love with SS bats after I get SS Kullu from dave (procricket)
