The top of the handle gives you somewhere to put lead tape if you want to. On its own it makes no difference to the bat at all, having used one like this last season.

That makes sense. Nice idea.

The grips ar slightly different to the ripple. the bottom black half has an octopus ring as well as the ripple. the ripple is just all ripple as far as i have seen

Ah yes. Didn't see the octopus on first look.

What do you think of the Xtrax palm on the gloves??  Nice offer to throw them in for nothing.

Do they wear any quicker or better compared to other gloves? I've honestly never seen them before.

I have found they last longer but that was the last pair i had a few years back, these look better, and without being hit on them yet wont know what the protection is like, they look to have good protection in them tho

I have seen no benefit so far with this application but i havent used the bat in a game or net session.

Erm, sorry if I'm picking holes yet again but...well....duuuuh!

I really really don't want to offend with the next question but is this Kashmir? If not can we have a close up of the face :)

I thought this exact same thing... Looks Kashmir ... Unless it's just poor pics

Personally I think it looks awful. I would be a bit annoyed if I spent £200 on that.

Hope it plays better than it looks.

AS i said earlier i sanded the face to eradicate the signature, i do not own a drum to buff the blade up so it is always going to look rougher, the bat looks better in flesh the camera is deceiving.

I did have a few questions and comments?

Firstly the gloves are excellent! I still have a pair which I did a review on and found them to be superb.

Next, could you not have requested that James NOT sign it in such a big way? Maybe ask if he could have signed it on the back? And is that a take on the Laver, which James Laver signs the very best few clefts?
If so, then is this bat the same tiny production run of 5 or 6 a year? Or is it just the Lekka sense of humour?

The profile looks nice actually. 2'8 with that size profile is amazing! Could you do me a favour and measure the blade width? I wouldn't mind knowing if the bat is a shade more narrow to get the extra edge size (a la Black Cat Joker/Lekka Envy bats) If it is identical width to normal bats, then I'd be a little concerned with the moisture content (as Tim pointed out) because even the big 2'8 Asian bats are a good few mm smaller in the edge department! Also does it have a flat face, as this would help increase the edge size?

I'm sure it will buff up nicely fella - and hope it gets you runs this season  :D
