Can anyone point me to the direction who can I approach for a custom Keeley bat?

Asad @Uzi Sports is your man.

Quite a lot of county pros, generally, seem to have got Keeley sponsorship. Noticed Bopara pictured still in SS softs though a few weeks back. Maybe he swopped them now?

There will be a load more pros using Keeley next summer, Ravi will be one.

On the customer Keeley, the question is really what stickers you want...!

Most of the PAKISTANI PRO PLAYERS are using Keeley especially MB sponsors

This isn't really what we are talking about.

BB for a fraction of the price?

Surely he will keep his best work for his own brand now?

It's a fair point to make. I'd be concerned personally if I used Keeley as a supplier but then the % of bats being sold as 'Keeley' compared to the white label brands will still be minimal I would've thought.

It's worth mentioning that it's a system that works for many other bat makers and brands (B3/H4L/Kippax/Hunts etc), so I see no reason it'll really change things in this instance either - especially with the number of bats that come out of Sussex!

What sort of scale are Kippax and H4L were doing this on?

You probably won't say with both being forum sponsors?

Good point on the % likely to carry the Keeley sticker and overall small drop in the ocean of bats coming out of there

Is the sticker worth the �200+ premium? If another brand can come up with the bat you ask for from Keeley I know where my money would be going

The stickers are veeeery nice though

And other people make very good bats.

Nail on the head. Quite frankly if you want a Keeley, why on earth would you not just buy a bat from Tai!

The Keeley pricing is a little baffling but then it's designed for the retail market rather than direct hence the higher RRPs, at the end of the day if people are willing to pay up then they'll keep charging.

Because of what I suggested about him keeping his own work for his own brand.

I find the whole thing a bit of a turn off, to be honest.

I was in a shop once where the assistant used car makers as an analogy to a mother, who came in with her young son to buy a bat.

What I can vaguely remember:

Hunts County were like VW - Solid and dependable
Salix were like a luxury car brand ie Mercedes
they had some Kippax bats in.. cant remember what he said about them...

Made me think what would he describe Keeley as...? The fact they seem guns for hire, making for so many brands...

Dont be sucked in to all the mythical magic stuff around putting a bat together. If you specify what you want to BB and they deliver then where are you missing out?

Or, even better, someone using their own name?
