Just wondering if anybody has used the CJI stuff recently, the newer range looks really nice!

Top quality mate. Really good stuff. My mate who uses them says the bats are handmade although I don't know this for definite.

Thanks for the reply,
I really like the look of this bat and the softs are nice as well. http://www.cjicricket.com/Cricket-Bats/CJI-Cricket-Bats/CJI-Ultimate-Special-Edition-Cricket-Bats/CJI-Ultimate-Special-Edition-Cricket-Bat.html (http://www.cjicricket.com/Cricket-Bats/CJI-Cricket-Bats/CJI-Ultimate-Special-Edition-Cricket-Bats/CJI-Ultimate-Special-Edition-Cricket-Bat.html)

I have a CJI Fatso in G1 and one of their 20:20 bats (1" shorter blade, long handle) in Kashmir willow (£25!!!).
Both work - the Fatso is over 3lb but actually picks up really well (with 3 grips). My arms get tired using it after 4 overs or so though! Good for training, and if you didnt believe that more wood helped to get the ball away (I usually play with a 2lb9oz bat), well, buying this certainly changed my mind. Depends on whether you like a big swing or fast hands to get the ball away though. But thats off topic.
The £25 bat does as well as any of my other bats at 10x the price. The ball does feel sort of 'hollow' on it though, and 'harder'. Apparently it wont last as long - have only done a few innings and nets in it so far and no major cracks, so still too early to tell. But have got £25 worth already.
I think their bats are good and competitively priced, service was good, no problems, no worries.
Cheers

They are based in Bournemouth in Dorset, they are decent people. Their bats are made in India I believe.
