This is CG's spec, is it one of his bats or just made to his spec?
When you buy a CA 15000+ you have the option to buy the CG version which is a longer blade, besides Chris uses a 3-3.2 bat for both one day and test cricket, or so he says!

There is nothing "little" about this new friend of yours!
Massive and really nice looking willow too, I could even overlook the crazy CA stickers for a bat like this

I ordered this for Roco so have swung it. To be honest, it doesn't look feel as heavy as I was expecting, for 2.14 it picks up extremely well I must say.

I'm glad Roco likes the bat as I went through many obstacles to get this bat to Roco.

No my friend, the 'CG' one is in custom 15000 Plus whereas you can't get 'CG' one in regular CA 15000 Plus. You could get any stickers when you get a custom made bat but we/roco opted out for these stickers as they are top of the line one.

I specifically spoke with CA man in charge regarding the stickers, he said such massive sticker are easy to grab viewers eye. He also said there stickers have always been same so when ain't broken, don't fix it. This works for them and they are happy with it.

He gave an example of Ihsan, he said they changed the design of there stickers completely so that affected their sales.

Does not seem to be a cg stamp on the one above and may be photos but seems a smaller profile than mine

Gayle may use heavier but this is the exact spec ca sent him for big bash apart from long handle as I prefer sh

I have to thank cd again for the extra effort put in as was well worth it in end

I can't imagine the fielders walking in too briskly when you are using that!  ;)

When I got the regular bat I used to think that it is beast but when I got Roco's wand then I was blown away and regular one really looked like an toddler size bat LOL!

I also like the profile of this CG one more than standard and regular 15000 Plus.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words, I'm really happy to see Roco happy as I had taken lots of time in getting this bat to Roco, so apologies for that pal.

I remember I had few throw downs by Rocos permission and the ball would literally fly out of it!

Hope it serves Roco well, he was skeptical as it was his first Asian bat so had to ensure he gets best of best.
