I honestly don't understand why anyone would spend their money on a Lekka compared to anything from the big brands or forum sponsors. What do Lekka offer that is worth investing in?

I 100% see where you're coming from mate absolutely, just thought it was a chance worth taking just to see what would happen!! I doubt I'll ever use it properly as my other bat is a railway sleeper but for £75 it was worth a shot!!

I got one a few years back for our opener and it broke last year after 3 or so years happy use and was sub £100 with a great middle so you can get decent bats from anyone

I've had great bats and stinkers from sponsors on here so it's a gamble with any brand just less of a gamble with some and more of a gamble with others

Although paying by PayPal gift is a huge gamble regardless of what the product is like

I was very worried after I had paid through PayPal as James said they would only take two weeks to arrive and it turned out to be two months to the day until they turned up! Getting them shipped I hate, especially as you can't see the product first!!

I got mine from someone in uk so I knew them but I see your point

I've paid by PayPal gift to other sponsors as well but it's your call at the end of the day with anyone

I'm sure if I said to those I've purchased off I'll pay fees but go through pay pal properly they would have

Gift isn't just about fees remember. Paying by gift waives the buyers protection rights. Its essentially the same as handing someone cash. If they disappear and dont deliver as promised, that money is gone.

Yep that's why some have got ripped off on here as PayPal don't want to know if you sent it by friends etc

If in any doubt say no and do t send by gift as a couple of quid in fees is nothing if gambling hundreds

Turns out I was mistaken and did actually pay with PayPal and not PayPal Gift, but shows the importance of checking!!

I have had a few Lekka bats - but this was in the days when they were normally UK made!
Had a couple of the T20 ludicrously large bats, and an average normal bat. The best one was a 2'9 with no concaving and beautifully pressed!
But haven't tried any of the new Lekka bats so would be unfair of me to comment!
Hope this bat works out well for you - and thanks for the review.  :)

I'm afraid that's Kashmir willow. Not that it won't perform, but it's certainly not English Willow...

If it looks like Kashmir/Canadian willow then it must be.

I think you're approaching it wrong. It is not pretending to be a GN Legend grain wise so why judge it as one? If this bat is in Cambridgeshire why not invite it down for a net then figure it out if it's worth the money paid.

I've had a few UK made Lekka's so I'd be following it with interest. If we are happy with the production of softs from that part of the world why can't this be just as good as the CA, SF, SG SS etc bats that we see on here?

Fair point. Give it go in the nets and then arrive at a conclusion. If its Kashmir willow then you will feel the difference right away ...

I have no problem who's name is on the bat.. It may be a gun... But I'm certainly allowed my opinion that it doesn't look like English willow... It looks Kashmir to me and that's all I stated
