[YorkshireTrust]

I will be flying out to Pakistan in March and wanted to know where are any good shops around Islamabad for Cricket bats? I want to have a feel and check the balance and quality before i buy.

Did you ever receive any response for this? Now that you've personally been there, could you recommend any good shops in Islamabad?

Salam everyone, can anyone tell me from their experience what is the longevity of the laminated cricket bats specially MB Malik ones. I have seen different thickness of the laminated parts in them. In some bats I saw there are 15 mm laminated parts. In some bats I saw there are like very thin 2 mm laminated parts. Now why they do not have any standard for the same bat, beats me. I read in many places that thinner laminates do not last. They either breaks or laminated parts get delaminated with the ball impact. Thicker laminated bats last pretty well. I'm trying to know your experience about the longevity.

I never used laminated one... Never used MB malik TBH... I use Ihsan sports one.. good 4-5 years old now.. Don't want to discard it... Great ping. Weight is good also... some wear and tear at the end but still good to use...

Bro did you mean you used Ihsan Laminated bat? Was it a thick laminate or a super thin one like 2-3 mm? I got both and kinda worried about the thin ones. By the way thanks for your prompt reply.
