CA 15000 plus...The best bat ever

[raptors1989]

Received my CA 15000 bat a few days ago from Sialkotshop.com and it's turned out to be a belter. Arguably the best bat to come out of the sub continent. Huge edges and a massive sweet spot. The sweet spot extends all the way from an inch above the toe till the sticker. Amazing bat for $345. The weight states 2lb 8oz but it actually is 2lb10oz. This 2lb 10oz bat feels like 2lb 8oz and the balance is superb. The edges are at least 38mm and the handle is perfect as well.

I am trying to upload some pics but it keeps saying upload fail. I would happy to upload pics if someone here helps out.

This bat amazed me even more once I compared it to others. GM Icon original plus, 2lb12oz, which was bought for $450 sounds dead when compared to the ping of this beast. The gladiator which is suppose to be the best SS bat is nothing as compared to this. The sweet spot on the gladiator is tiny as compared to this bat and the willow of the CA is far far superior. This bat also beats my Newbery Mjolnir in all aspects (sweet spot, willow, performance) except balance and pick up. The MB malik LE (2lb 10oz) is suppose to be a huge bat but turns out to be smaller when compared with the CA. This bat is also way better than the Newbery B52 SPS and the SG cobra select (my net bat).

The bat was bought from sialkotshop.com and the service provided was excellent. They keep checking with me untill I got the bat and the bat was to my specifications. I was so impressed by the service that I ended up buying a MB LE bat from them as well.

I will post pics of the other bats once someone shows me how.

you can upload the images to tinypic.com and then paste the links here......
and by the way i have a 15000 and an ss gladiator, to me ss pings better than 15000, although 15000 is one of my very fav bats, but to me ss pings better.....but on the whole world class bat 15000 is!

[sarmad709]

yes the pix r visible, and yes your bat is beautiful....wish u best of luck with it!

 

[raptors1989]

Thanks! The SS Gladiator is also an amazing bat but I just feel that this bat is better.

I agree with you Raptor. Ca Plus 15000 is the best bat out there. It has the highest rating. Mr. Basharat of Sialkot Shop is a nice guy and you are always guaranteed genuine stuff from him. Enjoy your new bat as I will mine. I have compared by bat with all the other bats we have in our team as well as other teams and this one stands out. I am envied.

No way the gm halo in my opinion is the best bat ever... Just simply so meaty and the fresh meat is chunked out of the top and it's all put into the middles like the mongoose. But instead of having a flop shape like mongoose it's traditional.

bro i own a halo......an average bat.......don't know what gm does with their bats.......the ping like **** .........

The GM non plus bats are garbage. They say it takes time to open up but I dont know how long.

By the best bat ever I meant the best bat ever from the sub continent. Hopefully it lasts long.

even the plus ones are garbage, no difference what so ever, just big edges, no difference at all in terms of performance and ping.....

is it just me, or do all these CA bats (TRD, 15000, Y313, 12000) have the exact same profile, balance, pickup etc? I've had a TRD, I have the Younis Khan one, and I've seen the 15000s - i can't see a difference in profile!

 

[BatsR'uS]

Brothers the best bat in my opinion is the Gray-Nicolls Powerbow Extreme! So heavy and meaty! It's like the meat waiting to be grilled by the ball which is the charcoal! Such a thick bat! I've decided to get it for my son as he likes heavy bats! It's a supposed 3lbs bat and i'll probably post pics of the bat!

sarmad,

in your opinion, which bat out the two (gladiator and 15000) has a longer or bigger sweet spot..i have started to agree with you regarding the ping of the bats but I still think that CA has the bigger sweet spot

yeah, ca has a way bigger sweet spot than gladiator.......but gladiator pings better than ca......its a minor difference......so you can go with either of the bats.....both are raptors.....

 

[capt.kash]

the difference is in the willow...not much in the profile

 

[zaid135]

nice bat!

 

[longoff]

i want to buy an bat my budget 30000 please suggest me the bats iam getting much confused

CA Plus 15000

Maybe if you used them long enough to play in you would be able tell

 

[longoff]

what is the main difference between ca plus 15000 normal bat and le bat?

 

[Cricketismylife]

What I have realised with CAs is CAs ping better and open up right away. But they are more prone to breakage- (overdried willow type breakge in some we have seen even on PP) THis has been happening more in the last couple of years as well.

Before that they used to be thinner and took a bit of time to open but were awesome over time.

CA Handles are much better than MB though.

Jason recently said in 1 of his Youtube videos that the CA 15000 "does not ping that well".

My friend brought the bat recently - it does have a massive profile for such a low weight bat but it made me think the wood had to be really over dried to get such a profile. I know the CA always over dry their willows but this was taking it to another level.
I was considering buying a CA 15000 for some time as the profile is tempting but its the ping and performance that matters so I will just a while yet until I hear more reviews.

i own a plus 15000......and i own some other top bats as well......15000 pings better than many bats.....i've been using it for 6 months i guess, no issued with its durability so far, i'd give 4.5/5 for its ping...... you should give it a try......

I used to have a CA 10K - bought 5-6 years ago when CA 10K was one of the top models - thin bat but huge middle.

The bat was awesome - took some time time to open but lasted 4 seasons! afterwards taken by a friend who has been using it (more like abusing it!)

2 years back I got the CA 12K LE. The bat was huge for the weight and pinged well - however it went dead over 2 seasons. From top grade performer to a deadish really low ping bat. had a CA POwer as nets back which was pretty great as well.

Meanwhile a lot of people at my club bought CAs after checking out mine. The newer thicker bats have either cracked into 2 halves (repair not possible) or gone dead over shorter times (2 seasons or so). not sure if we were all unlucky.

As I said Ping is top notch for the bat - especially in the beginning months. Also, 6 months is not long - please wait and then give us a review.

If you can get MB LE bats fitted with CA handles it would be the best Pak bat possible!

 

[mahad086]

whats the concaving like on the ca plus 15000 ?

Pretty big, standard for Pak bats

Somehow the best bat I ever had was a £50 Slazenger SxI Ulitmate I got the big sports shop at Picadilly circus.

i hae bought way more expensive bats, but somehow that one was bloody outstanding.

I have tried AS, CA 12000 15000, many many bats, but the pick up of that bat was unmatched!
