boonnng lush bat mate

[Uzi Sports]

Havent used it yet.
Doesnt feel as balanced as some some other bats i have used, but the middle feels real big and has a real punch.
It was a touch heavier than i wanted when first arrived from Asad who offers great service by the way
Have taken the back stickers off, changed the grip, replaced the toe guard with shoe glue and actually taken a palm sander to the toe and shoulders which had a lot of wood for about 5 minutes and it has taken about an ounce off.
Feels much better now and cant wait to abuse it. Looks like it will hit it miles. Love the profile whihc is non concaved and a lot of wood in what is now a 2 9.3 bat
Noticed that Tendulkar is using a BAS today

Tendulkar does get some of his bats from BAS

I use BAS 2020 LE - a top performer

your BOW 20/20 looks fantastic. how does it play?

On average it takes me about 6 hours to do a knock in. Normally I go untill the Seam marks/nails dont appear. Is that overkill?

[steelcouch]

I am not expert, but whenever i have knocked in a bat with  and by that i mean preparing the bat rather than hiting it as hard as i can.
More has always been better.
To me you get to know the bats performance by knocking it in more and personally i have felt that you can expand the middle somewhat and definitely improve performance by long knocking it. I guess as mentioned there is a danger of creating too much of a surface hard layer, which i guess would decrease performance, but then someone else might argue that this larger harder surface would increase rigidity and rebound to hit it further, so....

I am guessing here, but i would have thought logic would suggest that better wood with more grains would need less knocking in and you should stop when the rebound off the mallets stops noticeably improving and seam marks stop being deep.

lessser grained harder bats i think you can really work them with a mallet into something much better than you originally bought

However saying all this it is freaking tedious and a noise my girlfriend unsurprisingly cant stand so...... give me one of those Lingums any day.
I trust myself not to ruin my bat.

Millennium?

Just reading the gear reviews has re-jigged my memory. Was the Guru which was the Top of the Range BAS.

[keysersolze]

A Super looking bat and as usual Assad gives his all to give a customer his best service. And we have seen two of Assas bats here and they were both amazing but the last was a BAS plain and it was lush i will try and post a few pics when i can.

Mate how is your bat going? I mean did you start playing with it?

i have had a few net sessions with this and the power is immense! I've know put on a second (white) ribbed grip on this and the pick up is even better. I've put my fair share of time knocking it - and that has paid off, cant wait to use it in the first game in May.

Very impressed with BAS's bats.

Uhmm sounds tempting. To be honest, I am liking BAS bats as well! At the moment I like there Bow 2020 which is used by Hashim Amla whereas I also like those pads and gloves. I heard that BAS Bow 2020 pads are impressive. Hopefully I will buy one in future and I hope I am not disappointed

Just out of curiosity do you also have BAS pads and gloves? As you said in your OP that you will buy them so did you?

Thanks
