We bought three club bats from IJC in 2016 knocked in, had free edge cracks thrown in and the faces all needed re working.

I've been to the store, After spending a few quid he told me the performance bats G3, are from FC Sohndi. The G2 and G1's are TK.

You may have a TK G3 which would be a Dem model for shape, check the Cream thin binding, and the TK Thread.

If you paid under �150 then is a FCS.

Ive also seen a lot of the Phantom bats in the league mainly around the crawley area, they all sound like there broken...a few shots that go for 4 sound nice, but otherwise they do not sound great!.

Don't expect much. There good for the value but not like a real G1 bat from BB / Red ink / H4L / XX and other brands.

More fake facts!

I'm not sure when you think you've been to the store (we're not that big so I tend to remember individual customers), and I most certainly have never told you G3's are FCS bats!! Because they're not. Occasionally there is a very small batch of trial shapes from different suppliers, which are never claimed to be made from our regular bat maker!! and are sold at a different price point to UK made bats.

I am sure I still have the transcript from when you purchased one of the trial shapes via Twitter.

@BatGoonMcClintock I can confirm your bat is UK made. I hope you enjoy using it. If you have any questions I would be more than happy to answer them. I don't frequent this forum any more for the simple reason my comments above highlight. It a shame, it used to a good forum.

Not sure about this, all my Phantom Performance bats have been TK made... I believe I have like 4. All excellent bats!

@EaglesCC Hi Aftab, thanks for your comment, I know it is UK made, no questions about the bat and I may yet pick up another Performance bat from IJC in the future. I used the Phantom in the nets today and can attest that it has a sweet, sweet middle, more likely because it has been knocked in properly by IJC. Perhaps the finishing of the knocking in wasn't perfect but the bat will only get better, hopefully. Great bats!

@Chad I second that, had the first net session with mine today, was only against a bowling machine but I played front foot defensive shots and back foot punches and it feels great. Very sweet middle, will try out some drives next week. Hopefully it will just get better.

Can't comment on this mate but I've had only great service from IJC so far. The bat was knocked in well, perhaps the finishing wasn't the best but I've requested them to finish the knocking in on the other bats more smoothly.

First net outing with the JEDI - sounds very sweet off the Bola and ok with the cricket ball, still needs to be played in a bit but a couple off the middle travelled, shots not off the middle came off weakish...but looks very promising.

@EaglesCC I bought a Phantom Dark Edition from Aftab and have played both white and red ball cricket with it. I can confirm it is one of the best bats I have had (comparing with the likes of Affinity, CA, L&W etc.) It was meant to be a net bat to build muscle (2.16 with 50mm edges) but turned out to be my match bat for the season. Definitely recommend Phantom and the service from Aftab. Just waiting for a sub 2.14 50mm Phantom to nab for winter nets !!
