The look on that lions face suggests they’re all newly oiled!

Suppose it is also worth considering that it's much easier to bulk up a too thin handle than it is to reduce a too thick one.

Agreed. I think the world of my Keeleys and their handles are great! You can always add grips to a thin handle. Thinning a thick handle is a pain.

My Kranzbuhlers also have thin handles; anyone who has used or picked up a Kranzie will agree that they are incredible bats.

Nope I use the bats I make under my own brand but couldn’t control the bat badger in me also prices are very different face to face than buying through retailers. Perk of a visit.

Handles are all on the thinner side with the exception of the Pro which is a medium think handle. Nothing a 2nd grip, thick spiral grip or double bind won’t fix.

Fair enough 😀
At least you got 3 Keeleys, enjoy the way you want to.

That black/red sticker combo is very tasty. Love the shape as well.

Sorry if this has been asked before or I'm being thick...
On the back of worx bats there is a small sticker with either 'WORX' 'FWORX' or 'FFWORX'. Why the Fs?

Slight difference in shapes.

It's not to do with the shape it's their way of now grading bats.

Worx = grade 3
F Worx = grade 2
FF Worx = grade 1.

(I asked them this at the start of the season)...personally I think they messed up a little and it should be the other way around (so Worx = grade 1) as its cleaner but that's their decision!

Ultimate purpose i think is that they have never put grades directly on the bats before just the small sticker on the handle which can obviously easily fall off.

An FFF Worx?


Do the F’s stand for or signify anything?

Thanks makes sense but the reason for asking was my keeley has a grade 1 handle sticker and a FWORX back sticker suggesting its a grade 2.
Doesn't matter as I'm happy with the bat and didn't pay grade 1 money for it but at least I know now.
Just shows the most valuable part of a bat is the stickers!

So finally got this special Keeley in my possession... very lightly used, the odd mark/dent, did have some binding on toe that was removed by the last owner.

Bat weighs 2.12 and fills the gauge. Now need to decide whether I try and use it in its current state or send to Keeley... the bat could do with a decent clean up...
