CA 10000 Mani and CA 12000 TRD

[johng]

Some of my CA's boys, the first is a Mani 2.12 14 straight grains all sapwood and the other is a 2.7 TRD 11 grains all sapwood these bats are an absolute joy to own and CA is a wonderful bat

I like this forum and will support it with as good a postings as I can so stay tuned for many more postings of my bats.

Johng what else can you expect in a bat? Please tell me what else can you ask a batmaker in a bat when you see these bats and are looking to buy these specific models? Both of these bats are just perfect. The grains are easily the best ever I have seen in my life. I hope they play as good as they look!

Both of the bats are lovely and I take you got them directly from CA factory in Sialkot? I hope Javed gives you stunning bats! Any chance of profile shot of Mani LE?

CA is certainly making there way to top as I said the other day if CA start using good handles (like Newbery for instance) then CA would be in worlds top 5 brands.

May I ask why light TRD and heavy Mani LE?

 

[johng]

CD the light bat is for my son

 

[Poison]

johnG are you an Australian Pakistani?

 

[johng]

The 2.12 Mani is for me and is the heaviest I will bat with, Stay tuned for more photos and normally 2.10 is a good weight for me.

 

[Cover Drive]

Pickup on CA's is soo good that bat always feel lighter than its actual dead weight so I'm sure you'll be fine. I was holding a club mates TRD and his is huge and picks up like 2.6 although it is 2.8.

I hope I can get a TRD for myself such a good bat it is!

On bouncy Australian tracks these bats will do very very well, I'm sure!!

Seriously the more I look at the bats, more I fall for them! I would frame those bats in my room such brilliant bats they are! Amazing mate

 

[johng]

johnG are you an Australian Pakistani?

No mate. But an admirer of CA and will soon go on a MIDS buying spree when I have finished buying my CA's.

Handles on CA's are fine not as good as Newbery but still good

Mate did you see the video I posted of MIDS ZH in MIDS's thread in this equipment section?

Lovely shape ZH has very good, they look good bats for there value too! They are cheaper than CA I think top of the line(ZH Power) is half of what TRD LE goes for.

 

[Poison]

Haha okay, because I just know a Pakistani mate who got the same bats (might have been a 10,000 only, not Mani edition), with very similar specs on the TRD bat. Absolute beast bat btw.

Great value mate. After I have a hit with a few of these CA's are you up for a swap??

 

[Cover Drive]

Great! CA Plus Extra Power right?

I have seen those bats in person and some like Knightriders on this forum was very nice while I have seen some Grade 2s too! SO I'm sure you'll get a good one!

I'm not sure but did you ask for oval handles? I think CA has them...

 

[Waleedk11]

Check that 1000 out, what a beauty.

 

[Quick Single]

Woah, those look like screamers!!!!

These are by far the best bats I have seen on this forum. I hope you score tons of runs with them John.

 

[ExtraCoverDrive]

That Mani of yours is unreal. Ive never seen 17 grains as straight as that on a CA bat.
For a second, I thought you put on CA stickers on a Pro LE bat. That is a peach my friend. Dont let anyone buy it off of you. This one is a keeper for life.
On second thought, whats your best offer for this stick?

 

[askmoi]

the grains on those bats are just too good. rare to see this number of sapwood ones.

 

[Cover Drive]

^Would add on since the trees these days are being chopped off earlier so that make 15+ grains bat much more rare.

 

[Cover Drive]

Got these bats John? If so how are they going?

 

[ca_gold]

also where did you get your ca's?

 

[allan2377]

@JohnG: Where did u get those beauties???

 

[Poison]

His TRD is completely shattered.

 

[Cover Drive]

This thread deserves a bump.....

Unfortunate TRD :'(

 

[zeusky]

Yeah--I think he posted the shattered pics of the blade as well.

Not so much cheap

 

[AamerM]

Not so much cheap

Instead of saying "Not so much cheap" why don't you quote the price you sell them at?

I reply to cover Drive's post that
ZH power bat price is 1/2 then TRD
My mean that not so much difference in prices of Zh and TRD .

CA Slogger would have been a step up )

 

[QasimAli]

Hope CA really do a good job with new bats, just seen some of the new range of Gray-Nic, Slaz and GM on cricketstore online, they have developed alot with new technology and some old technology so Pak bats better bring up their game

 

[zaid135]

i think we should not be comparing CA's and all english brands because these are brands who have a difference of land and sky....

 

[QasimAli]

Lol Zaid i know that the bats have completely different land and sky and btw most "english bats" are made in India the willow is grown in India because of the economic benefit cheap labour etc etc. You have missed my point Its not all about having big edges, and nice pick up a bat has developed so much its know the design how it looks i.e. the stickers which CA have kept the same for a while know. Or the new technology like the shapping of the bat have a look at some of the new Gray nic scoop ( it is an old design given a 21st century modernised.) Truth be told the CA have basically been the same bat for a while id know because i always buy ca bat and i really want Pakistani bats in general to innovate and not stick the tried and tested its how they will grow as a brand

 

[Cricketismylife]

Genuine English bats - even Indian brands like SS or SG are made from willow thats grown in England

 

[zaid135]

we dont know where they grow willow could be any where like GM can be cutting willow from the forests in nottingham or the one which their factory is built in. And i get you point Qasim.
