Title: Ballistic 5000, or Lekka RDX?
Post by: johan95 on September 18, 2010, 08:35:49 PM

Hi guys,

I'm torn between two bats: A Ballistic 5000 from Pete, and a Lekka RDX from Sam.

Which would you recommend and why...?

Grade 1 but one of the Indian made ones so the uk made ones should be even better

Sounds as if it's a good bat, but having said that so us the ballistic. my only quibble about his lekkas is that they might be a bit heavy for me; I normally use a 2.8

I'm tempted by one of the £65 ones, I use a 2.10 at the moment, so no worries about the weight for me fortunately.

not so much that, I'm a touch player, not a bighitter, so prefer a lighter bat...

if you were 4 ounces stronger, you could still apply the same approach! just with a bigger bat.

It's debatable..

meh. i personally would have the lekka as there are some beauties out there. but pete does get some nice pieces of willow. tough decision.

Post by: johan95 on September 18, 2010, 10:37:26 PM

There's not much difference in price and the poll results show more people are recommending the ballistic...
