Nice Bat Simon but I have to agree it probably won't last long based on  the number of grains the willow tree that the bat has come from is quite old IMO.Therefore you are right to  be selective when it comes to using it.

While I have no doubt that this is a flier, to me that is pretty ugly! Having said that, who cares if it goes!

It's is a real gun just ask Pete what the bat was like it might not be to every ones taste but if you want a bat that will preform then the Uzi sports bats are a serious performing bats

Love the grains........

Have to say the heartwood would put me off......

very big bat, if it goes well then who cares what it looks like.

Not knocked in or played in yet!
Lovely noise off the mallet and the response is superb!!
The cricket ball bounces like a tennis ball too.
I've no doubt whatsoever that this bat will be simply amazing!
As others have said, it may not last as long as some bats, but it will certainly live fast!!

Indeed a very special bat ..wow...the grains reminds me of the GN legend used by Andrew strauss ..i would never use a beauty like this..should be kept in the drawing room cheers mate..

Bat is huge with 43 mm edges and weighing at 2.9 but heartwood is a turn off to me.

I hear a fair few off the comments about the heartwood but to me it gives a bat an extra punch and maybe the bat won't last as long but it's made by one off the best bat makers around so I am sure it will be a superb bat I usually change my bat every season so to me if it last the season the bat has done its job

Performance over looks EVERY TIME. Though, lets be honest, it's no Janet Street-Porter!!

It is a cricket bat, not your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/husband **Delete as appropriate - It's a 21st century world after all!**!

I wouldn't be too concerned about heartwood if I was in your place.. bought this bat in 2010

Photos on page 3, with almost half heartwood direct from Jatin and it was really expensive and was sold to me as a pro bat.
Scored loads of runs for two years and then passed it over to a team mate who is still playing with it and the bat is still going strong with the exception of some surface cracks..

The balance and pick up are so spot on
But the ball rebound really does have to be seen to be believed
A true one off bat, regardless of looks

All Asads pro bats are exceptional, but this one is special

Avoid dodgy balls and it will score loadsa runs

I think this has become quite a popular shape for Laver and Wood now (Without the bowed blade).

Gorgeous looking sticks!

Very much so the one I saw broke my heart that had been used against a very cheap hard ball .but you are right that the bats are true one off its rebound puts a smile on my face every time I tap a ball on it
