BatDoctorBristol on insta. He fixes bats for pros. This is not the only bat I�ve purchased from him. Between me and a friend we bought 5-6. We purchased them over a couple of months. I only got them recently as I�m outside of the UK and my friend brought them with him a few days ago. Every single one of them has a made-up story attached to it and I have proof for each lie lol. I kinda wanna post everything here but what�s the point.

So this is actually an SF bat, which was restickered as a Chase (which is still listed on Ebay) but then sold to you plain as a Root/Pro bat reject?

All very confusing stuff! Regardless of whether its a good bat or not, I'd be gutted at paying 275 for a refurbished SF! This is why the whole 'Pro bat' thing is garbage in my opinion. 275 or thereabouts buys you a brand new stick from lots of very good batmakers, made to your specs and which will perform as good as anything.....sharpie or no sharpie!

This is not an SF bat. It�s a chase bat that the player sold to Ben who removed the stickers and sold it to me claiming it as a root Keeley reject. I�m not sure where the confusion lies.

Im not sure why its still listed on ebay. Maybe the original seller forgot to remove it

I think Dan is right, think this is an Indian made bat. I�ve looked again at the chase I have and whilst they will vary in spec the handle is totally different.

I think you have an SF bat stickered up.

How does it tap up?

... because it doesn�t have any traits of a genuine Chase and has a decidedly dodgy looking cheaply handle and the wrong shoulders etc. Maybe it was rehandled but with seeing more detail in your pics, nothing about it looks like Chase

I�m just going by Rob�s comment on the ebay thread.

Yeah genuine, had two custom made on a factory visit thru me, plays for Denmark 🇩🇰

Could be SF or anything else really. Just know that the one on ebay is the same bat I have

Really really well. Had a net today

I purchase doff Ben too..

To be fair he said it was labelled as an SF and claimed it was one of Denly's and he was/is with SF. AT no point did he say it was Keeley.

It has SF faded marks side... the question I have is... was it Denly's or just a run of the mill SF. I didn't pay silly money but nevertheless �200 notes.

I've taken off handle binding and look slike a SF..

Or any "Pro" bat. Only buy bats with the toe labelled as "Kohli", they must be geniune.

I�ve got one from Ben - Keeley stick that has the Faf iXu stickers. Definitely a top end Keeley with ten well spaced grains and the ping is ridiculous. Pretty sure even @Ajdal said his went well!
