I want one where is the easiest place to get one
-
Cheers little Dave
It's bigger than a midget Bruce
Best place is ca direct as this is a custom
-
This is CG's spec, is it one of his bats or just made to his spec?
When you buy a CA 15000+ you have the option to buy the CG version which is a longer blade, besides Chris uses a 3-3.2 bat for both one day and test cricket, or so he says!
-
There is nothing "little" about this new friend of yours!
Massive and really nice looking willow too, I could even overlook the crazy CA stickers for a bat like this
-
I ordered this for Roco so have swung it. To be honest, it doesn't look feel as heavy as I was expecting, for 2.14 it picks up extremely well I must say.
I'm glad Roco likes the bat as I went through many obstacles to get this bat to Roco.

No my friend, the 'CG' one is in custom 15000 Plus whereas you can't get 'CG' one in regular CA 15000 Plus. You could get any stickers when you get a custom made bat but we/roco opted out for these stickers as they are top of the line one.

I specifically spoke with CA man in charge regarding the stickers, he said such massive sticker are easy to grab viewers eye. He also said there stickers have always been same so when ain't broken, don't fix it. This works for them and they are happy with it.
He gave an example of Ihsan, he said they changed the design of there stickers completely so that affected their sales.

Top work cd lovely bats both of them

Good job CD and great bat :),,, i only wish I had known :( hope your trip back home went well...
-
Does not seem to be a cg stamp on the one above and may be photos but seems a smaller profile than mine
Gayle may use heavier but this is the exact spec ca sent him for big bash apart from long handle as I prefer sh
I have to thank cd again for the extra effort put in as was well worth it in end
-
I can't imagine the fielders walking in too briskly when you are using that! ;)
-
That looks humoungous! Definitely my sort of bat!
-
When I got the regular bat I used to think that it is beast but when I got Roco's wand then I was blown away and regular one really looked like an toddler size bat LOL!
I also like the profile of this CG one more than standard and regular 15000 Plus.
Thanks to everyone for the kind words, I'm really happy to see Roco happy as I had taken lots of time in getting this bat to Roco, so apologies for that pal.
I remember I had few throw downs by Rocos permission and the ball would literally fly out of it!
Hope it serves Roco well, he was skeptical as it was his first Asian bat so had to ensure he gets best of best.
-
that is BIG. . .
-
Crickey roco!!! :o
That is a beautiful monster! Normally monsters are scary and ugly....but this is beautiful and grainlicious! Although it is still a bit scary if you're a bowler!!
Let us know how it goes fella 8)
-
If we have a netty poo again I'll bring it down for you and Luke to check out
-
Good plan! ;)
It looks lovely mate......makes me want a 'big' bat again.....dammit!
-
i going to have to come to dummer with you all be nice to finally meet up
would nick this bat but wouldn't be able to lift it
-
Good idea! We'll need to book the net for 3 hours but I can bring a dozen bats - even bring some light 'girly' bats for you Dave! ;)
Fattus uses a light bat but that's cos he's a classy touch player!
Will be a good net!
-
I'm in for that fellas....few beers after....job's a good 'un! :D
-
Ha ha - don't diss the girly bats! :D
-
CA bats ping like mad...
How much did this set you back (if you dont mind)
-
£250 to my door with all the post,baggage charges etc
-
They seem to have done a half decent job of knocking in as no denting when I hit with mallet
-
That is a fabulous looking bat & I think the green livery somehow doesn't make the stickers too much. A bargain @ £250.
-

Uhmm I see but don't think it is fully knocked as seam marks were quite visible and prominent.
-
Still some to do and play it in properly but seems about 50%~60% done I'd say which is a relief
Still can't get over the sheer amount of wood in the blade
-
Sounds good! I vividly remember the way it pinged compared to other one. It was like Ferrari versus Suzuki lol
-
Haha I'm sure yours is just as good mines just a lump hammer that's why
-
looks real nice. grains superb. have fun with her!
-
Used this today and it defiantly goes some as nearly killed non striker twice on indoor but Wilkie can confirm its a rocket plus picks up well for sheer size
-
I just couldn't believe the sheer size of the thing mate!
-
wilkie - with aiming comments like that at Roco, people will start to talk!!
-
Innocent comment about his wood Pete
