Cover Drive Bhai - the pictures of your Bubber Shers are amazing. Very impressive indeed! I was wondering what you consider the main difference to be between the Bubber Sher (either regular, or the LE version), and the other two top Pakistani bats (AS V10 and CA Plus 12000). I've read a bit about the middle being slightly different in each of the three, but are the three almost the same bat? Or is there a real difference that should make people prefer one.
I love to drive the ball - both front-foot as well as off the back-foot (in fact, I tried "Cover Drive" as a username when I was registering with PP!). I am more of an "orthodox" batsman and like timing the ball through the "V". But I've had problems trying to hit sixes, and so am wondering if there is a bat amongst those three that would: 1. help me increase my hitting distance and 2. still help my "natural" stroke-making.
Would really appreciate any insight that you can share.*
Many Thanks !!

First of all, I apologize for the delay in replying. Its just that I got busy with stuff around me and couldn't reply as I wanted a free environment with time
. Hope you don't mind
Anyways, welcome to the forum. It is great to have you here and you seem to like cricket equipments as well, which is great
JazakAllah Khair, for your kind words and I'm really touched
.
As you can seen I have both Bubber Sher's (regular and LE) and you can see pictorial comparison and difference in post 13,14 and 15. But I know it gets harder to judge and compare a bat from pictures. However, if I compare the two then I would say Bubber Sher LE leads the race and takes the case easily.
Why am I saying this?
When I hold both the first impression and feel I get is that MB LE seem to have better and thicker handle compare to regular Bubber Sher. At the moment my MB LE's are single grip and they feel good in my hands, however, when I hold Bubber Sher in my hand with one grip then it look likes I'm holding a pencil
. So first thing handle on MB LE is better.
Secondly, I find the profile/shape better on MB LE compare to regular Bubber Sher. I don't know but with Bubber Sher I find sweetspot at a limited place which is low whereas on MB LE it looks much larger and well distributed. MB LE has been designed in such way that the pickup and balance looks better compare to Bubber Sher.
Lastly and most important there is a willow/cleft difference among these two. LE seem to have a better cleft as it is oversized, better quality etc and looks closer to professional players. I got my bats directly from MB Malik's factory and placed my order with MB owner and I remember I told him to make me big profile bat and one which is exactly like Shahid Afridi's bat. So the result is above. So for me willow and cleft was better on MB LE. One can't say MB LEs clefts are overdried as you can't have 100 out of w00 clefts very dry (imo).
So in conclusion MB LE leads the pack between Bubber Sher (regular) and Bubber Sher LE.
I'm yet to see and hold TRD but from what I have seen and heard it looks superb and better than regular CA 12000 Plus. I have noticed that the profile/shape on TRD is bigger, better etc compare to regular 12000 Plus. Take out the handle factor then you can say both the differnce is like MB LE and regular Bubber Sher.
I have seen AS and I like it because of its shape. The difference between AS V10 and AS V3 is pretty much like TRD and CA 12000 Plus or like MB and MB LE (excluding handle factory).
Basically MB LE, TRD and V10 all three are superior and LE models in each brand. These bats are and have to be better than previous models and this is because they are top of the line and superios bats. These LE models are basically closer to what international players get as they have more or less same profile, cleft etc.
Since you like to play off front foot and like to have a go then the best bat for you in my opinion would be the one which has low sweetspot and that's MB Malik Bubber Sher LE.
Again why is that?
This is because MB LE has a low sweetspot and when you play off the front foot ball tends to stay low, hence, MB LE would suit you. Generally the slogging bats are low sweetspot one as well.
CA's have a higher sweetspot compare to Maliks. There pickup and balance is unbelieveable and very good
this is based on my CA 12000 Plus but I have heard TRDs profile is different and has larger sweetspot compare to 12000 Plus. So higher sweetspot bats are better for pull,cut shots etc (backfoot shots basically)
AS V10 is a very good as well! This is because it has a long driving zome/sweetspot as the spine runs all the way. If budget is restricted and is an issue then go for V10 otherwise MB LE is the way to move forward. V3 is good for front and back foot strokes.
I hope I have answered your questions
