I have been buying from AS factory for few years, pretty decent equipment for reasonable prices, they have a online store now
http://store.assports.com

All the bats had amazing balance.

I am telling you , AS Bats are an unsung hero.

These bats are WAY BETTER than any other Pak bat in my experience.

to @raviwest - sorry to hear your story with CX.
I saw a few of these on Ebay with mind boggling grains and on lush willow - my immediate doubt was a thick sheet of English Willow glued on on top of Kashmir willow because the grains on the face and on the back didn't look the same in number and spacing.

You may not be inclined to it, but if you ever need a bat from Sialkot then AS Bat is your best bet. I know a couple of people in the factory who should take care of you if you ever to take this route. Let me know.

Yup AS and AM in my book.

I think Ihsan are the biggest disappointment, they should have been up their with CA by now.

^ Heard very good things about AM although don't see many of them.

Regarding Ihsan, I have used some incredible bats from them, light weight too. They are also making bigs bats in 2-11, 2-12 weight ranges.

Check out MIDs as well.

You're kidding right? Biggest group on con-men going. Heard so many stories of people sending money overseas and never hearing a drop from them again. Seriously avoid like the plague.

I had a couple of cracking AS bats a few years ago. Did I see someone put a link on here to their webstore or somewhere you can buy them direct?

I've dealt with them for years directly, never any issues and quality bats on par with what CA offer. Has this happend to you?

From my personal experience MIDs have some of the best batmakers in pakistan. They press their bats to perfection. Not too soft, not too hard. Just right. Ihsan is on the too hard side of the spectrum and CA are on the too soft side of the spectrum. MB bats tend to be on the heavier side. As a general rule of thumb its best to deal with pakistani companies face to face and avoid online or overseas transactions. Its not because theyr conmen, most batmakers are illiterate and wouldnt follow instructions or just dont understand. For eg. U ask them for a 2-8 bat and they send u a 2-12, 2-13 bat cause it says 2.8lb on the scale. Faced that with every pakistani brand

Guys if any of you need good Pakistani bats at local prices let me know. Be Happy to handpick. Most CA, Ihsan, MB bats are 2.10-2.12 with 40 edges and 62-65 spine roughly. All CA bats have the same shape across ranges. CA locally are the highest rated and their quality control is the best of all Pakistani brands.

CA isn�t too soft pressed. They are pressed pretty well in my opinion.

We had 3 or 4 pass thru our club and they were sought after by others. We source bats from the owners thru intermediaries. Never had issues.

We have a lot of high quality bats in our club. MIDs were some of the best bats. Period. Expensive as well.

This was my impression as well. They take their time to get the bat right.

To each their own, theyr quite popular and everyone loves them. They perform really well and really soon. But theyr also the most fragile of any bats i have come across. Most common issues being delaminated and split edges. I personally have been using a Ca dragon series 50mm bat since feb and have had to send it for repairs after almost every innings. To my experience Ca either overdry their willow, underpress it or a combination of both.
