Custom Made SS Gold Player bat
« on: January 13, 2010, 08:04:38 PM »

I have a Custom made bat available for sale. 5 custom bats were ordered from SS for a few county players who are close friends of mine, but by mistake the SS guys have put SS stickers and stamp on one of the bat.
I am looking in excess of £200 for the bat.
 






Regards

Asad

I never used to think of SS as great looking bats with excellent profiles. But after seeing some of these Gold Eds and premium and custom SS bats, they are going very much upwards in my estimation!!!
I think they have got better and better in the last few years!

What is the difference between normal and export quality?

I know one of them is kept for the indian market and one is sent to the other countries I think the export quality are the lower of the two?

Different grade of willow is used for export products against the products made for the domestic market ? they wont sell many bats out in India at £250 etc hence why they do it. EXPORT GRADE IS HIGHER.

Are u sure about Leo? Local market bats are lower quality comapred to export Quality. There is fair difference in quality hence the price
ALL OUR BATS are EXPORT QUALITY

Think that's a comment made with no knowledge of what products are made for certain markets, huge difference in quality.

I would certainly agree that exported soft goods are better than those for the local market.  However, for bats, in my experience it's a mixture.  I've personally picked up some beautiful SS Gold/Player bats from a retailer in Mumbai (when SS weren't able to supply directly) which look as good as Asad's.  They cost me a lot, but I carried them back with me, so saved on VAT and carriage.

Like Aswani said, we have to travel to the factories in India and pakistan to hand pick cleft and then get our bats made there. Working the factories is very interesting as you learn a lot as well as see ur bats made according to ur specification. I am going next month and looking forward to it.
I don't think many retailers do that.

Going by Asad's pictures, those bats are worth well in excess of £200 ... and if you look after them well, they will look after you!

SS cricket gear is rising up in my estimations, i think they are one of the best gear companies going at the moment.

Yes totally agree with you Pete! Their softs are world class, the keeping stuff is high quality as well and if they keep churning out beauties like this bat in topic, they will begin to dominate the english market along with the more renowned brands.
