800 runs is pretty good use (most brands say a bat should last about a 1000 runs). Also, the insane number of marks on the edge (more than the middle!) point to a lot of wild slogs (and you seem to indicate this is how the batter batted). All in all, doesn�t seem like the bat was lacking much in durability. Not sure why you�d go out of your way to malign a brand knowing fully well how weak this �evidence� is..

Fact is i have seen this bat being used in person while none of u have so when i say this bat hasnt been abused, u either take my word for it or call it as BS. Another fact is that this bat didnt have a scuff sheet on but did have edge tape on. Naked wood doesnt attract as many cherries as edge tape or scuff sheet does. Also fact is that i have seen the same pattern of damage among every Ca bat i have seen or used in the past 2 years. Another fact is that i cannot force anyone not to use a bat or a brand. Enjoy the pictures, assume from them what u will. I have tried to be as objective as i could. Again i say i have nothing personal against any brand. Just thought id share it with the experts here.

^ Your experiences with the bat are perfectly valid. My position is that in general, CAs are reliable bats.

Bats break, it is the natural order of things. My biggest peeve is bat not opening up and those brands/bats are worse than bats that break.

Think top end CA bats definitely dried plus they're pressed softer than their lower end bats, resulting in being pingy from first cricket ball hit, as most of the Asian guys I know they're too much fussed about knocking in their bats for hours, but they're also more prone to break off not properly knocked in and care taken, if CA would be more considerable about products they should at least start selling all their ranges pressed harder, just like Gray Nicolls, and believe me that Powerbow 6 900, didn't take more than an hour to become ready to be played in, even though it's supposed to be pressed on the harder sideas it's actually is factory prepared by gn, so these extras give more user satisfaction

Tend to find this is common of Asian made bats, and to be honest when then churn out 40mm edge bats at 2.8 time and time again they will be over dried being baked on roof tops in 40degree heat. Add in if you based in a warm country I would guess every drop of moisture would be sucked out fairly quickly

Saying that for 800 runs it�s not the worst return, and when you say the same balls what are they as unless they are approx �15 per ball I find that more often then not they are very very hard.
Shame it�s gone but a great reason to buy another bat

I've always been a bit puzzled by those stickers to be honest. I'd think they just open the door to more complaints if the bat breaks or gets damaged.

They are premier cricket brand in Pakistan. It's just stupid they have them and I agree 're encouraging complaints..

I'd understand it if it was some back alley brand...

Well they are having the hump with Hanif at EAS for telling it as it is due to their new models... have a Look at Hanifs Twitter account.

Hanif is being unreasonable. He is probably bitter about something else and he is picking on CA.

AJ2014 · « **Reply #24 on:** March 02, 2019, 06:14:57 AM »

First thing I've done with those bats, take off fully knocked in stickers, oiled and started knocking in,
agreed with above, more rain to complain, once I had to convince a 1st team player to oil and knock his ca15000, 2.7lb bat, can you believe this? 🙂

He called them out on their deception. And its true that they're doing it and they should have the balls to admit it. But if confronted theyr being whiny babies about it. All the more power to Hanif.

As a retailer he has every right to be pissed if he is being sent grade 2 bats for the price of grade 1+ bats that now nobody is going to buy from him unless he goes the retailer BS route of "these 7 star bats are now graded for performance".

AJ2014 · « **Reply #27 on:** March 02, 2019, 07:52:59 AM »

7* bats are made of top grade willow, there will also be bats those don't beauties but performance is top class

Absolute bull. Being 7 star has got nothing to do with performance. Prices are solely based on looks
