The postman is becoming a regular visitor at the moment...

Following on from my earlier post, this morning, I took receipt of the final Keeley that I am expecting (for the moment anyway). This one was infact the first one I purchased and it was through BatsOut who were having a clearance sale. Some specs:

Grade 3
Worx 017 profile
2lb 9.3oz fully dressed
Standard TK oval handle

Tapping an old ball on this one has made my decision about my main match bat for the coming season even more harder than it was.

I will let the pictures do the talking on this one:









Enjoy!

Four Keeley made in the current collection

QC - shorter blade longer handle set up. Zero concaving and packs a proper punch at 2lb 11oz

2 x Worx 074 - love this shape either side of 2lb 10oz

1 x Pro used - quite concaved but that’s made it massive. There’s another thread about it’s origin on here somewhere. Double thickness binding and very grainy - again 2lb 10oz

I picked up the blue Worx at the start of last season, honestly the best bat I've used. It's a grade 2, full profile, 2'9.5 with two grips. I bought the Superior this winter as I was so impressed with the Worx, grade 2 again and same weight, Keeley seems to have very generous grading. Both bats are in standard SH configuration. I suspect the Superior will be even better as the initial tap ups are very promising, I just need to get round to prepping it.

The Worx was from the Cricket Boutique, however the Superior was direct from Keeley.

For those who have been using Keeley bats recently, what is the feeling around knocking in?

I asked Keeley when purchasing my bats and the response was that the bats are pressed well enough that I should be fine to take them straight into a gentle net session. They do not feel hard pressed (when compared to some of the GM bats I have my collection) and I will be rounding off the edges a little more before braving nets, but it would be good to hear how others have faired.

Generally give the sensitive areas a knock for an hour or so and then get into some throwdowns in the nets. Find they really don’t take long at all to be good to go which is another part of the attraction.

Yeah Keeley made bats don’t tend to need too much in the way of knocking. Like @ch1p says give the toe and edges a good knock and then it should be ready for nets

I just bought one of the offer bats and all i can say is WOW...

I've seen a lot of hype over Keeley and kind of thought to myself "Surely they're no different to GM LEs, GN PP etc etc"

I get the hype now...

£220 for a grade 2 with free gloves was a pretty good starting point but after the first two hits with it I now feel I have committed a robbery
