I just received my Master 2000 from Cricmart and am super impressed with their service. Received it three days after i ordered it. I looked at the 1000s but all the good ones were gone and I wasn't prepared to stretch to a more expensive bat as the budget ones are easier for me to move on to teammates.
I've had great success with 6-7 grains after a good knocking with my LV so I was happy to grab this one which is blemish free.. Its 2.87 after I've added my preferred GM Shock Absorba grip. Pickup is ok, for a bat with all that wood in the bottom. Interestingly i got the calliper out and found the left edge was 40 mm and the right 38.5 also the bat is regulation 108mm in the hitting area, but narrows to 105.7 at the tip of the handle. The pressing is ok, but it needs a good 6 hours of knocking (I'll do it in half that time).
Super impressed with cricmart.in service and communication. Chatted on FB and they were very easy to deal with. The bat cover is not cheap quality and the 2 or three extra white chevrons was a bonus.
Of course its not in the same league as my B3 Tonto Butterfly so pardon me if the pics i took include that beast which i also received this week. It might come close after my knock in, but somehow I doubt it. The master is a fuller profile than all the SS I've knocked in recently and the stamps are not sharpied. The stickers on the Master are embossed, but not textured like the B3. I think the Master is the nicest looking sticker design of all the SS/Ton atm, although I liked how VKS has customised their stickers too. All in all great value.
Thanks Cricmart!
