this is precisely the reason why it is huge for its weight. It is a harrow sized blade at a mansize weight...

It's actually a Size 5 blade, with a longer handle, at a mansize weight.

I am wanting one of these style bats, either the Lekka Big Hitter or the Joker, from what I have read most people say they are as good as identical, the only real difference is the branding. Could you guys attest to that?

Ok so here is my experience:

1 - Bat is short (1-1.5inches) and Narrow (1/4 inches) blade. Which obviously means longer handle.
2 - Blade itself is significantly thick.
3 - Pick up is light, willow looks very dry (will need oiling on the exposed areas)
4 - 8-9 Straight grains but that would vary
5 - Made in pakistan (atleast thats my understanding)
6 - BC owners have comlained abt problems with Toe cracking
7 - BC Joker is now joker extreme and newer lower grade model is now jester

BC Joker is still the Joker. Joker Extreme is the version weighing more than 2lb12oz and Jester is the lower Grade version.
Pakistan made bats tend to be drier than UK and Indian made bats, as a general statement.

Unless they are giving away a 2nd prize I will be the only one with a joker on the 1st
