Aldred vs Keeley

Just wandering on peoples thoughts or opinion on these 2 batmakers, who makes the better bat, which one would you prefer. Both fantastic batmakers.

Not even a comparison for who I'd prefer to get a bat made by. Tim Keeley is a fantastic batmaker who has done more to move batmaking forward than anyone else alive today.

I would say that there wouldn't be many topics on here which would generate a unanimous repsone, but this could be it.

The only reason you would go for Aldred is if you wanted a bat considerably heavier than the one you paid for

TK anyday. Maybe if you were comparing him with someone like Kember, it would be more of a competition

I personally don’t believe that’s a competition either, Andrew’s reputation and bats are outstanding although naturally, others may disagree. Just my 10p’s worth.

I’ve had one aldred, sold it without using it. Only thing I liked was the very squarish oval bottom hand of the handle.

Had a good few Keeley bats, all been good, only normally sell them when a teammate wants one. I’ve got one off Canners & BB Pure edition Hulk I’m knocking in that are superb bats! Agree with broken bat

TK all day long.....

To think Kohli was using a Keeley in the World Cup, oh and Warner is as good an argument you’ll need

I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.

OP is quite new, so go easy on him... TK also is more personable and likeable ...  ;)

There's a video of him with Malik bats owner and I liked his sense of humour and humbleness!

I'll go there... not to knock Keeley at all, but if I had some kind of fantasy bat voucher that was only redeemable with one of them, I'd likely go to Aldred.

I have two BB’s (Keeley) and two Aldred’s at the moment. Prefer the BB’s but that’s just because the handle in the BB’s is more to my liking so will be moving on the Aldred’s. All 4 are better bats than I need or deserve for my talent.

If you are looking at buying you won’t go wrong with either.

I've owned both and I really don't think there's that much in it. I have never dealt directly with Keeley so I can't really comment on the whole buying experience/customer service aspect, but the finished products really aren't that different.
