Fake Cricket Bats - Beware and Be aware 

now these scammers have gotten smart, they put grains on toe and shoulder that match the face and back of bat. Only way to tell if it's real grain is to sand the bat at the toe.

Thanks ✌️

Yes this is why it is important to buy bats from reputable sellers and also know how to check the cricket bats. I recently saw bats that had same amount of grains at the bottom as on the face, but the dead giveaway was the grains on the shoulder. Don't go by stickers or bar codes, they are easy to fake. Best of luck.

Sorry Naveen, it was sold within a couple of hours of the review being posted. I have other bats that I sell that are hand picked. In case you are interested, WhatsApp me

I dont have Kookaburra kit bags, If you are based in Dubai then it will be good if you can visit AJ Sports as they have a big collection of some great kit bats.

Thank you Meher.

Glad that I can help

Thank you for your comments. 2 methods that are generally used i.e. 1 - Grain sheet - This is an artificial sheet that is pasted on the bat face. If you shave off the face of the bat then you can actually see the real grains. 2- Chemical Treatment - chemicals are applied to the bat that create artificial grains. These chemicals usually seep into the bat thus making it more difficult to distinguish a fake bat. It is generally difficult to apply the treatment to the shoulder of the bat thus making it obvious that it is fake. Also binding on the cricket bats usually give away the fake ones, as fake bat makers use cheap binding methods and try to hide it under the bat grip. I hope this helps.

If this is your first bat then go with a bat with 8 grains minimum. Grains should be straight and preferably equal in distance. Preferably they should not have any marks but honestly it does not make any difference on performance of the bat. Check different bats and see which bat is easier for you to hold during back lift. Regardless of weight, a good balanced bat will feel light in your hands. Bounce the ball in different areas to see the size of the sweet spot and overall ping. Do the 4 step process as I do in my bat review videos; 1- Aesthetics 2- Profile 3- Balance 4- Ping Most important are Balance and Ping.
