£650 Pro Keeley bats......
« on: March 11, 2021, 06:19:30 PM »
Has anyone on this forum actually have one of these? Apparently Uzi Sports are selling them as the Uzi LE for £500? Are they really double as good as a 3 stripe B3 lets say or a Hawk Players edition or a H4L G1 Bat?

Hawks are £350 according to their website, how much would you pay for a hawk?

If you've got the money I'm sure they're lovely looking and great performing bats. Personally I'd rather get a belter of a G2 and have circa £400 still in my pocket but that's because I'm not minted and a fool for grains!

The long and the short answer is no.

They aren’t any better than other keeleys/brands.

My current bats are all G2 or lower

I see a huge amount of diminishing returns in anything more than that personally.

If you have the money, and don’t care about value for money particularly, then they will no doubt be fantastic bats. But by no means will the be better than a well pressed G2

I think it helps of you can find the middle of those bats. At the moment I struggle to use the edge, let alone the middle 😂😭

I have a few of them. Are they the best sticks I’ve ever used? Yes, in my opinion anyway.

If I was looking for outright performance, value for money not considered then I’d go for one every time.

Agreed.

Here is the thing though, for someone who wants a bat to perform from the get go, those G2 are hard to find.

I posted in the Wanted section and I couldn't get find a el-cheapo, ugly pinger.

There are cheaper options available that sell great bats.

My take is if you have hard earned your money in a legit manner - go ahead and cheer yourself up..life is too short... so I don't hold anything against those who wish to spend such money on a bat. :)

Personally, I'm more than happy at the 150-250 quid mark and can afford a more expensive one but don't really see the value... but that's just me... :)
