After going through many glowing reviews about Robinson bats and their customer service, I decided to buy one for myself. I contacted Robinsons through their Facebook page
https://www.facebook.com/robinsonsports1937/ page and I immediately received a response from Mr. Surinder Singh from Robinsons. Within two days, he sent me the pictures of a few clefts based on my spec and on the same day he sent it to production.
I absolutely agree with the previous reviewers about the level of service Robinsons offers to one random customer; they treated me like one of their regular, VIP customers. Even after fulfilling the order, Mr. Singh was constantly in touch with me to ensure that I received the item in good condition and to make sure that if I was happy with the product.
About the bat:2 lbs 9.5 oz
12 grains
G1 Grade
Virat Kohli profile
38mm edges
No concaving
Round handle
No difference in the pick up -- feels like 2/9ish.
Knocked in for a couple of hours before using it in nets; it pings very well. Looks like upper part of the bat requires little more little knocking in.
Price: Competitive, much more affordable than the branded ones and it is absolutely worth every penny. And, it arrived with a free and quality bat cover -- though I would have preferred a black color one.
Apart from the stickers, I am pretty happy with the bat.
Among all the bats I have purchased in the past few months (about 15 in the range of $150-$600), I'd rate this as one of the top 3 bats; If I take the price into consideration, no doubt, #1.
I am already working on my second order.
