Ihsan Inferno and Boom Boom

[basitirfan]

I have recently just bought an Ihsan Inferno 750 and a Boom Boom 3 Star signature bat from Pakistan?

The guy from where i bought the bat from told me that it is ready to play? I would like to know from fellow PPer's that does the bat come ready to play? Or would i have to do some knocking before using the bat in a proper game?

Regardless what your friend or people say you will still have to knock it in and spend time on bat.

[canadiancricketer]

Just ignore that it is pp'd. Knock it in for a couple of hours to ensure you get the best performance out of the bat.

[basitirfan]

thank you. They already sound really good but im sure a lil knocking wont do me any harm..

[Cricketismylife]

never trust those "already knocked in" BS. Always knock in bats.

[cricket_fan1]

Please keep in mind that All bats pressed by machines and manual knocking required for better performance . I know all Pakistan bats have sticker " ready to play"

Wanted to know what are there weight...

[basitirfan]

The ihsan one seems like it's about 210 and boom boom is about about 211

[Cover Drive]

Oh okay is that a dent on Ihsan toe?

[basitirfan]

no its a blemish on the wood...hasnt been used as of yet

[askmoi]

How come the second bat is labelled as Signature but the stickers are blue?:13:

JazakallahKhair.

But why did they have to change the stickers, it just makes it really confusing now.

[Cover Drive]

Change which stickers?

[Quick Single]

Sorry for not explaining it properly, I mean in the UK, the Signature has Black stickers, but in Pakistan the Signature has blue stickers.

[Cover Drive]

Because in Pakistan market all Boom Boom have Signature written on them, make sense ?

Ahhh right, so there are no ranges as such, just different shapes and stickers.

JazakallahKhair for clearing that up. :)

[askmoi]

they have stars on the stickers to signify grade

[Quick Single]

Okay,so the one basitirfan has will be Grade 3?

[Cover Drive]

Yes, 3 Star is basically Grade 2/3

[Quick Single]

JazakallahKhair.

LOL It took me 12 posts to finally figure out the difference between UK BB and Pk BB. :))

[canadiancricketer]

So the uk market is the 130, 150, and 175 and for pakistan its 5 star, 4 star etc?

[MoHZ]

Yes, also the Green one (2 Star) doesn't exist in the UK.

The 5 star is the one that looks the same as the Signature.
The 4 star is the one that looks the same as the Blaze.
The 3 star is the one that looks the same as the Accelerator.
The 2 star is the one that doesn't have a UK range twin bhai.

Correct.

[canadiancricketer]

but are there differences in the bats alone?

[Cover Drive]

No, don't think so.
