Title: replacement lekka
Post by: Fearless Fly on October 07, 2014, 02:27:00 AM
Hi all,

It has been well documented of my Lekka Sig breaking and myself burning and cutting it up.

So without further delay

Here is my replacement

9 straight grains,
2lb 8 oz
picks up like a dream
quite a bit of concaving but has a long, wide middle
39mm edges

Are we looking at the same bat?

Poor sticker application, straight grains?, toe guard looks disgracefully applied, even tape around grip is shabby. It may end up being a good bat but it's certainly not well finished or presented, looks very backyard.
Title: Re: replacement lekka
Post by: Fearless Fly on October 07, 2014, 03:37:57 AM
they are pretty straight grains,
the stickers are fine except for the tail end of the back sticker as it is a very high spine it struggles to stick,
Toe guard is a toe guard, i havent bought a bat based on how neat a toe guard is

Tape is fine as i have put a second grip on and yet to un tape and re tape

i really want to know how the stickers look poorly applied as there are no bubbles and are straight, only issue is the tail on the spine

You've admitted yourself one of them doesn't stick probably due to the spine. Plenty of companies out there make high spine bats and don't have this issue

I don't mind the bat, but the stickers confuse me. So many of them like hmx, xtratek, envy, xtrax, don't even know what they mean and what they are there for.

it is due to the scalloping and shape of stickers, if i wanted to make it sit flush i could put a cut in the sticker ans make it stick, this is what Kookaburra have done on models with  a substantial amount of concaving to the main kookabura on the back.

I don't mind the bat, but the stickers confuse me. So many of them like hmx, xtratek, envy, xtrax, don't even know what they mean and what they are there for.

They are a bit all over the place yes but from what i have gathered from speaking with Lekka

HMX- bat model
ENVY- Bat profile
Xtratek-scuff sheet name
Xtrax- grip

hope that answers the questions
Title: Re: replacement lekka
Post by: iand123 on October 07, 2014, 05:41:39 AM
Shouldn't lekka want to make it sit flush? It's not the customers responsibility to sort that out is it? Surely you can't disagree with that, sales rep or no sales rep that's a bit rubbish isn't it

It looks a decent stick mate. Most are being too emotional here with their feedback. I can guarantee you will get a different view if it was a different brand.

SS have had same problem with their stickers due to concaving.

Do you mind sharing the price.

Post by: Fearless Fly on October 07, 2014, 06:21:04 AM
Thanks for your honesty Palmist, many just follow the herd and making assumptions based on a few peoples view,
The price of this particular stick was 0 as it was a replacement bat

To answer the sticker questions i am not too sure.
Think it is just naming all of the products associated with lekka, best ask James tho

The bats aren't revolutionary as far as the ones I have used go. The ones I have had have been made in England and I believe, Pakistan, and I believe the Pakistani one was made by MIDS (check the top of the handle and James' facebook postings). Mine appeared to be very dry, and went very well, but didn't last very long (roughly 500-800 runs). Depends on what you want really.

The difficulty you will always have is the location of the seller and follow up in the case that anything goes wrong. People have in the past been burned (as per this topic http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=30220.msg476646#msg476646 (http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=30220.msg476646#msg476646))

Jono, this feels like another Lekka promotion topic. James has been and remains banned for good reasons. As part of that, sales and promotion of Lekka goods are included in that ban. If you do not desist from plastering Lekka about the place, you will also suffer the same fate.

While we try to be fair and encourage open dialogue, there are extremely good reasons for this.

Serious amount of concaving on that bat, not sure any H4L has a profile that extreme. Might be the camera work but those grains don't look very distinct. Hope it serves you well though.

Hi Tim,

I understand that James has annoyed and alleged to have shafted some individuals on this forum.
I am simply stating what i see fit.
I said this bat was a replacement to a broken Lekka, nothing untoward or plastering there. I read that post on the "shabby service"- would be interesting to see the follow up on that thread as I know the bat never made it to James and the customer was not replying to emails from James, thats a bit odd if you ask me but let that one through to the keeper.

I have a feeling i could post any bat on this forum and some individuals would have an issue, unless of course it was a sponsors bat, then i could put up something that is horrendous and it would be deemed amazing.

Its things like this that make me question whether i really want to get involved, I came here looking for knowledge to further enhance my refurb skills and my knowledge of new products,

For all those who are still wondering, i am not James from lekka i am a cricketer in Brisbane Australia.

I am only posting how i see fit, i said days ago i was going to have a thread on a replacement bat for the ever popular burned bat thread
http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=32149.45 (http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=32149.45)

On this bat. It's a decent bat, looks okay. Decent shape. And I don't kind the stickers. Doesn't look g1 so as long as j didn't pay g1 prices. I'd be happy.


But. My issue is that's it's a replacement for a signature. So I'd expect a g1+ sig back in return. It does seem that your broken top line bats has been replaced with a lower grade model.
I could ell be wrong though.

Thanks mate, this bat i reckon is on par or even slightly better ping than the signature, much better looking stick as the other had a strip of heartwood,
I am a believer in the performance of a bat rather than looks as i have seen many a bats with perfect straight and spaced grains and white as anything that have been absolute planks.

This bat picks up better but isnt quite as big  as the original in regards to edge size  but is same weight to the gram so could be not as dry

I am not averse to concaving...one of my favorite bats has a lot of concaving but when I middle it, it goes like a rocket! What is interesting is that the bat conditioned me to hit the middle since off middle shots would not go anywhere.  :D As an opener, I edge a few bouncers and short balls, thick edges help.

Glad you have a replacement Fly, sometimes ppl can be harsh. I have sold brand new bats from many different brands but I only wished everyone thought I worked for the brand so I could say it's top of the line and pay me what I want for it lol...hope it scores you lots of runs without breaking.

Size does not only depend on moisture content - density of the actual cleft matters as well. So you really can't make assumptions about its moisture content until you saw this one up as well! ;)

Hope the replacement works out for you.

I'm not a fan of big edges at the expense of removing wood from what should be the main hitting zone

It looks like a decent enough stick, a bit too much concaving for my liking.
As people have said about the stickers they look cheap and tacky, I know it's trivial but if you're paying good money for something you want it to look and go well. It's like the difference between a Toyota and a Ferrari, they'll both get you from a to b but you wouldn't pay Ferrari prices for a prius

That's confusing!
Reminds me of an old Puma with massive concaving. Not a nice profile and the stickers are vile!
Hope the pressing is good and it performs well for you!

Not all EW has defined grains. Some just have less defined grains than others, a little bit of an oil should bring out the definition a bit more.

Good that you got a replacement, let's hope this one doesn't have to be sawn up after a couple of uses! :) Agree that it has a heavier concave than I would personally prefer, but I use bats heavier than 2.8, so tends to be that this isn't really ever an issue for me!

Is it worth mentioning that you took down photos that were allegedly Marketing propaganda form James on the other topic.

Is it also worth mentioning that this bat wasnt from the bats i ordered for my new club members.

No offence Fly, but both of these topics have been blatant marketing from James - do you honestly expect me to believe that chopping up, burning a bat as well as posting all the updates on here wasn't orchestrated by James himself?

Getting a bit bored of Lekka to be honest, the fact anyone would even buy a bat from him is beyond me - just scroll down his FB profile, the man has some serious issues.

Most people on here know how some people have not got the best customer service from Lekka, so some people think that as soon as you say good things about Lekka, you are some sort of sales rep. I don't mind you posting about Lekka, but there are people who think you are suspicious and only here to talk about Lekka.

Think that is very naive AC,
I have been posting about lekka of late as i started a few posts, the one that broke and the replacement.
If you would like to scroll through all of my 380+ posts and establish whether i get involved or not then go for it. I have got involved in lots of things, i did at one stage want to become a sponsor with my refurbs

What I'm suggesting is that Lekka is asking you to post all of this and until I'm proved differently my opinion won't change. I'm going to leave this now as it is just smacking me of someone being played, I'm sure you're totally innocent in this but James is clearly a great manipulator as has been proven many a time and I fear you've fallen for his 'charm'

you really think that James is asking me to post and i am listening to him??I'm not a 12yr old. I post what i want to post, i posted BDM gloves few evenings back, backing up a fellow forum member who is "allegedly" being taken for a ride by James, if i was being manipulated by James would i post that?

I think the main reason that everyone is bit sensitive is that i am getting quality at a great price

he cant be james as I am james haha I have fooled you all for years!!!!!!!!!

people are sensitive as james has a really bad rep on here and other forums for causing arguments as he did it a lot as seemed to enjoy getting a rise out people.

my teams opener has used a lekka for 4 years with no issue and hit some big big scores with it so its possible to get good ones

I think you have been caught in your own web of lies Fearless Fly.

Your "replacement bat" that James "express post" to you is one of the 5 bats you asked the forum which they think you should pick... Second bat from the left.... The thing is the pic of those 5 bats was taken at your place on your pool table and on your tiles.... So the "customer service" you mention is a load of (No Swearing Please)... Just another ploy to get on here and promote Lekka..

Sorry mate this time you have been caught said the spider to the Fly!!!!

Fly, I was about to post about you talking about broken bats, and gloves and stuff, so I was wrong in saying you only talked about Lekka lately. Looks like the suspicions are raised all if a sudden!

Hello number 4,

indeed they are my tiles and indeed it is my pool table, but as i said all 5 of those bats were sent to me by James to select from, i took the photos, he express posted the bats to me to choose and then i sent the rest back. If that's poor customer service would love to here how the forum sponsors would do it.

Interesting how this thread was locked when i went to bed last night is open again with your comment being the first one since the thread was locked

I'm devastated that one of the links you have put up doesn't seem to work :(

Fly, I doubt people are envious of your 'great quality' at exceptional prices. This forum offers a plethora of unbelievably good gear at great prices! People just don't like Lekka! Doesn't mean they should harass your topics. Buuuuuut if you have been caught out that's not cool!

Post by: WalkingWicket37 on October 14, 2014, 07:16:13 AM
So let me get this straight, he distrusts you that much you have to cut up and burn a broken bat (with evidence) to qualify for a replacement, yet you're trusted with 5 brand new sticks to chose from...

Title: Re: replacement lekka
Post by: roco on October 14, 2014, 07:37:38 AM
plus he sent 5 bats from Thailand at his expense for you to choose from?

I don't know any retailor that would do that as I'm sure that would cost a lot, so fair play if he is willing to fork that out to please a customer.

Surely it cost a lot to send back as well ?

Well after speaking with James over facebook for the past day you should probably stop Fly - we both know he didn't send you a new bat and we both know he told you to burn the bat and post the pictures on here (admin if you want proof I'll happily send you a screenshot from James himself...).

He's actually quite an interesting bloke when you speak to him, clearly a bit nuts, but interesting nonetheless!

Interesting is one way of putting it. I think it would be apt to remind everyone that James is a banned member on this forum

Why do people feel the need to lie? Especially over trivial s*** like a cricket bat!?!? Don't see what people have to gain from it.
