i got this lekka 2020 bat from sillyshilly.
i asked if he had anything in the 2'8 to 2'9 range and he said he had a bat that was supposed to go to a magazine for review but didnt make it in time.
it weighs in at 2'10 with one grip on it.
it has about 43mm edges and picks up very well for such a huge bat! in fact it picks up similarly to my 2'8 gm hero which i picked especially for its pick-up.
the overall finish is very good although there are a couple of creases in the stickers but that doesnt detract from the imposing look.
im very grateful to sillyshilly for his excellent customer service and for getting me this bat and am very pleased with it!
would reccomend to anyone
thanks

Just As I Told Myself I Should Be Saving My Money Better......
-
it is an absolute belter mate. wasnt too expensive either
-
Won't help you if you're running dodgy singles mate!!
Looks good - may fancy borrowing that in a few weeks!
-
dont you have enough bats timbo ;)
and anyways my running is fine as long as im not running with mark :P
-
is that g1 ew? also, how are the proportions of the bat different from a normal bat?
-
ill be honest i dont know what grade it is. sillyshilly will probably be answer that. it isnt the best cosmetically so im guessing grade2?
the face is 4 inches across where as my gm hero is 4 and 1/3 and the handle/blade is 2 inches longer/shorter. it does feel slightly diferent to pick up but not in a bad way at all. ill update this as soon as iv used it in vengence ;)
-
Umz - classified as grade 3 willow due to the pin knot in the face.
-
thanks shilly. as james may have told you, i'll be coming down to get one in the near future. you got any decent g1/2 bats around the 2.9 mark?
-
I've only got the two now Cakes!
-
what have you done with the Scat then?
-
Iain has both of them now. I'm now the proud owner of a Hawk X10 Pro Custom : )
-
sounds good, it did you proud the other day ;)
-
just a quick update on perfromance...
ITS GOES LIKE A ******
the middle goes from the bottom of the stickers to an inch and a half from the toe, i can thoroughly recommend this bat to anyone. despite being an avid gym user im not the strongest but this bat doesnt need a big person wielding it. yes short balls are slightly harder to get to but unless your playing very good quality cricket it wont any difference.
-
that bat is a gun cakes and it feels top notch
-
personally I don't like shorter blades will ruin my technique I am afraid of will divert me for purely slogging 8)
-
it really doesnt feel any different, and you dont notice it at all, i even hit a couple of cover drices today. something that very rarely happens....
