Alright so one of my family member was visiting UK so I thought I should buy a bat as it will save me postage. So I made up my mind and had planned that I will once again buy a English made bat. I was in sort of a dilemma as I was after few bats (Harlequin from Yash, S6 from Sam and few others) but since I had dealt with uzisports before where I bought my Newbery from so I was very certain about there customer service and products as my previous experience was by far a very good one. Since I wanted a English bat and something other than Newbery then my only choice was Salix and after seeing Salix which uzisport had on there website I was very certain that I will buy them. Personally I wanted something of higher sweet spot as I already have Krakatoa, which is low sweet spot so I wanted a different shape one. So my only choice in Salix’s catalogue was Pod. The one uzisports had were slightly expensive and out of my budget so I then had a look at their Factory Second section and the one which I really liked in that section was bat number 4.
I asked Asad Bhai what is wrong with the bat and he said he can’t see anything wrong with the bat as he had a look at the bat for me couple of times and every time he would look for a issue he would fail. So I knew that Asad Bhai will never lie and I also know that he is an honest person so I took his words and bought that bat along Salix Arma gloves (wanted Pod Black but they weren't available anywhere. Hopefully I will be getting Pod Black soon from Asad Bhai). I wanted to get this bat knocked in so I told Asad Bhai to ship it to Sam but because of snow delay and time shortage I didn’t wanted to risk it and I got it directly shipped at our place in UK. When Asad Bhai found out that I was looking to get it knocked he was generous enough to knock in the bat for me for free of cost. At the end it was a bit of gamble but I was not worried as I had my trust in Asad Bhai and believed him.
After receiving the bat:So I received the bat 3 days ago and I was over the moon as soon I first touched the bat. First thing I noticed was that how well it was finished. My best-finished bats are Newbery Krakatoa and MB Malik Bubber Sher Limited Edition and this Salix’s finishing was like them if not then slightly better. The finishing on Salix bats is really special and very good. After that I began to look for the defect in the bat and why it was labeled as Rogue but I was left fruitless and found nothing wrong with the bat
.
It weighs 2.10 lbs but since it has Pod shape it feels and picks up lighter in my hands. It feels around 2.7-2.8 lbs mark whereas the balance is exceptional. Personally I prefer semi-oval handles like my MB LE but this has a full oval handle which I don’t mind either:D.
It doesn’t have a toe guard, which I am looking to apply in future. I have been knocking it whenever I get time and so far it is going very well off the mallet.
Since there are no defects or I plan to sell this bat in foreseeable future so I am looking to resticker it (if possible).
Uzi Sports ServiceOnce again Asad Bhai was a great person to deal with him. The type of treatment I got this time was something really really special and I am 200% sure that if I had explained my situation to anyone else on the forum or any other seller then he would have never ever done this so hats off to Asad Bhai for his superb service. I don’t think I will ever turn on to anyone else except Asad Bhai. I seriously don’t have words to explain his customer service. The free knocking in service was great one as well so overall I am very very pleased.
Now enjoy the pictures ☺ (They certainly don’t do the justice).
Please don’t hesitate to ask any question(s) you guys have
