Having seen the JJB website on another thread i went over and spotted a Puma Iridium 3000 bat for £64.99. Thought i'd take a punt on it especially with the free delivery and the extra £10 off.

Never used them before so will be interesting to see what is is like for £54.99. Once its received i'll post up some pics
-
Must have been the last one (2.9) as its showing as sold out now
-
Was quite tempted to buy it for a while but kept myself back, I hope you get a beauty! The 3000 I had in past was amazing and went superbly.
-
The only thing that worries is that the iridium 2000 was the same price, have a horrible feeling i'll end up with a 2000. lets hope im wrong!
-
Are <4000 models Indian made?

Yes, 2000, 3000 and 4000 are Indian made.
-
Mattw - yeah, i believe so. However, having at one time picked through several containers full of the 2000, 3000 and 4000 ranges, the quality of the Indian finishing is supremely high and will be a decent investment

Nah I'm sure you will get what you ordered, however, I was a bit surprised seeing 2000 and 3000 at same price.
Maybe you want to drive down to local JJB and see if they have these 3000 Iridium for cheaper if they do might want to get price matched ;)

I'm with SS on the I was literally stunned by the finishing on my Puma Irdium 3000, in fact, I am not lying but it was better than some of my top of the line bats

I have a feeling that many JJB's are lacking in a range composed of these bats. my local JJB/Sports Direct have little more than Kahuna 150s and Kashmir Slazengers.

Good shout - although just checked and there are none really near me.
-
Ah okay make sense Alvaro.
Fingers crossed mate iand123 lets hope you get a beauty!
-
Have also just seen JJB are offering 8% cashback on all sales via Quidco, wish i knew that yesterday!
-
Has anyone else ordered from JJB, if so how long did it take for your order to be processed/delivred? My order is still "processing" and they have taken the product off of the site :(
-
I ordered a pair of boots and they arrived after 3 working days
-
When I have ordered bats for collection at the local store, it's normally be completed in 3 working days.
-
thanks for the asnwer guys. i'll leave it until monday and contact them
-
Its been despatched :)
-
Bat has arrived and it looks pretty good. 8/9 pretty straight grains with a strip of heart wood as well.

Impressive bat really, for 65 Pounds you can't go wrong at all!
How does it respond off mallet if you don't mind me asking? The 3000 I had was absolute belter really, pinged better than my 6000.
-
Impressive, hope it goes well for you!
-
Great buy for the price. Grains are decent and nice profile. I would have put that as a better grade that the 3000!!
-
Cant find the mallet at the moment so ill dig it out and let you know. With the £10 off it was only £55 quid!!!
Wife is already got the hump over another cricket bat, might have to move it on!!! :)

That bat looks a corker - shape is right up my street. If you do look into selling it on I'd bite your hand off!

I used the mallet on it earlier and it does feel pretty responsive.
I'd really love to keep it but i just dont need another bat. Should really have not told you all what i paid for it should i!!! might give it a whirl on ebay unless anyone wants to make an offer.
