Cricket Bats > Ihsan Cricket Bats

A rarity but a gem

Advantages: pick-up, power, distance hitting.
Disadvantages: Rare, premiums in UK very high

...suit all, but the bat ihsan sent me all those years ago when this bat was available was outrageously good. Ihsan bats are made in the sub continent, where a great deal of international players bats are made, so you can be assured that whilst the quality may not be as high as handmade english bats, the price will more than make up for it. So if you could possibly pick one of these up from india or pakistan then the price you pay would be greatly ...
...who will whack a high premium on these bats. This bat is the stereotypical sub continent bat with a low middle and a large bowed blade that accentuates driving power. The pick is made heavier by the swell towards the toe of the bat but the balance is sufficient that you dont notice this too much. All in all this is a fantastic bat, although it is not widely available anymore, but if you can find one and its not too expensive i would recommend getting ...

Review of Ihsan King

Not a rocky bat

Advantages: super middle,powerful
Disadvantages: too heavy for some

...it more durable. The Ihsan Rocky bat is a powerful bat and is also heavy, close to 3lbs, the side of the bat is very thick, which makes it very powerful. Due to these qualities of the bat the Rocky is hard to control, which is why i put another grip on the bat to try and strike a balance between handle and bat. Compared to other bats that i have used like the Hunts county Insignia and the Ihsan hi-lux this bat is much heavier than them, but im ...
...a heavy one. The Ihsan Rocky is the most powerful bat i have ever used which is why it has a super middle, so you don't have to use much force to hit the ball over the boundary. The weight of the bat makes it difficult to hook and pull the ball, but it's much easier to cut and drive the ball with this bat. The design of the bat makes it look like it's made for the big hitters, like the length of the handle which is not long, the face of the bat ...

Review of Ihsan Rocky

Power and quality for a decent price

Advantages: Good for power hitting, value for money
Disadvantages: Not so good for 'touch' players

A few years back, Woodworm were THE cricket supplier. Providing gear to the likes of Andrew Flintoff and Kevin Pietersen, their stuff was in demand from every youngster taking up the game. However, it soon became clear that the company may have bitten off a little more than they could chew with their costly sponsorships outstripping profits. They went under and the brand name has now resurfaced under the ownership of online sports equipment supplier, ...
...from abat such as the Woodworm Satellite, which is more balanced. However, for £99 - and cheaper if you can find one of the many discount codes online for the SportsHQ, this is a great value, decent quality bat. I've now gone through my first season with this bat, scoring about 350 runs in 12 matches and it is in great nick - I can see it lasting for a good few years. ...

Review of Woodworm Gold Mega Bite Cricket Bat

The Big Kahuna is the sloggers choice

Advantages: huge middle, slick graphics
Disadvantages: low quality willow, lacks finesse and pickup

havinng owned the bat for the last two seasons and using it almost religiously in this time i feel my review is a good benchmark for looking into buying this cricket bat. The new kahuna cricket bat was realeased prior to the summer o 2008. The kahuna range is very high profile within cricket with pro players using the range such as Australian captain Ricky ponting. I was drawn to the big kahuna by the promise of a big middle and a huge profile on ...
...i was skeptical at first as it was a rather cheap price of £89.99 which for a big bat is bargain. When the bat arrived i was amazed at the sheer size of the blade itself , people were even commenting on the thickness of the edges and middle. The bat weighed in at 2 pounds and 11 ounzes which is alot of weight to throw around in a bat but when you picked it up it was not a struggle so the intial pickup was very nice. In terms of willow quality the ...
