If it’s genuine it’s one of the new models there will be someone on here who has the new ones and they maybe able to advise if the style of handle and shoulders is the same.

There are some tell tale signs in some of the older bats which you can spot. The binding and the slight dip on each side of the shoulders.

If someone offered me this as genuine Keeley I wouldn’t buy it, the shoulders and binding don’t look right.

But I could be wrong, I’m sure some of the forum have these new style bats from the Keeley own range.

Sit tight someone will be able to advise.

I haven’t seen any fake Keeley stickers on the market and I imagine he doesn’t sell them to any old person
But if you lik it and if goes who cares who made it.

Definitely not a Keeley in my opinion

Shoulders, binding, twine, handle knob and handle inserts all look wrong. I'd put this in the "I'd be very, very surprised if it were genuine" category but a better Keeley geek may have a different opinion :D
I have about 9-10 TK bats and I agree with Dan! It doesn’t look TK to me either.
