They look like decent bats mate..you must have the patience of a saint and a sound proof room to be knocking in all these bats!!

CB stickers could do with a nice round sticker below in the arrow section with a number or something if they are limited edition looks a bit plain to me. Perhaps in white text! Leo get photoshopping!

I can't believe some why some companies just don't do the final touches the grips and grip tape on the CB and Lekka just look shoddy, makes the bats look very cheap.

are the CB bats meant to be �250? seems a high price for something reasonably unproven as yet, will be interested to see how it goes when it finally gets put to use...could be waiting a while with 45 otehr s to try out 1st!

The CB bat is a really nice bat - nice trad shape, but the finish isn't the normal immaculate and faultless finish.
Maybe the grip should be better quality for an LE bat. Plus the stickers shhould have been either higher up to cover the splice of the bat, or the grip put on better. I just think the attention to detail should have been better when finishing the bat.
If these points had of been done better, then the bat would be perfect!

I woont complain about the Lekka yet, as I got the bat and the entire kit at a bargain price. But I will at least expect the bat to play wel!!

Is the handle a funny shape on the CB out of interest? I have 3 blank ones at home and the spine can be felt a way up the handle.

Didnt really notice!
But I only picked it up to feel what it felt like from a balance / feel point of view.
It felt nice, but hard to tell without using it properly. Will check it out over the weekend if I am not too busy visiting distant relatives and munching mince pies!

Looks very much like a CA handle to me - i've had a fair few where you can feel a sharpish edge on the handle.

petehosk · « **Reply #82 on:** December 17, 2009, 12:02:25 PM »

Possibly. But the profile is not CA one bit.
little edges and trad shaped.

I could probably do with taking some side profile shots some time!

Asian collection now.

The BAS is a Long Handle, whilst the other 2 are SH.
The other 2 are CA bats - the restickered is new, but not sure of the original model CA, as I purchased it off someone else already with those stickers!

Hi there

Not had it yet - ordered it direct from Pakistan a couple of weeks ago.
Am looking forward to trying it out though, as most people seem to reckon that they play well - even if there is occasionally a somewhat dodgy handle!

And I would need to seel my Asian bats, and a few others to purchase a Signature package, as they are �900 odd!
I have spoken to James about it. But the one thing that has stopped me from buying one, is that I want to be absolutely SURE what profile I would want!
If I am spending �900 on it, then I don't want to be changing my mind!!

Maybe that's one for the future???

petehosk · « **Reply #85 on:** December 17, 2009, 11:12:26 PM »

I am not adverse to trying out new things, and the V3 is somethhing I have heard good things about.
And just have a gut feel that it'll be a nice bat!
But hey, maybe the signiture package next year?

So you didn't like the CA or BAS bat photos I added then?

Everything looks great Pete, can u please post some pics of your CA plus 5k stickered as Slaz v389.

petehosk · « **Reply #87 on:** December 17, 2009, 11:51:10 PM »

That bat was traded weeks and weeks ago mate.
Thinking of restickering the CA 8k plus (on the previous page.)
Have some lovely yellow slaz oz stickers - the CA bats are nice. In fact some of the Asian bats are very meaty and powerful.
But the only thing I have found with the Asian bats in general, is that they can make great bats, but need to work on their sticker designs!
I have only ever seen 1 or 2 Asian bats where I like the sticker designs! $:-\$

Ok and now for the Kookaburra bats!
From left - Itias G1 labelled with plain kooky stickers
Middle is long blade mayhem with loads of grains.
And on the right is Angry Beast recently refurbed, as it have some horrid tape all over it. Considering I wanted the labels left on, and all the rubbish tape taken off, then well done Hit4six - great job you made!!

petehosk · « **Reply #89 on:** December 18, 2009, 11:01:39 PM »

And on the left is a bbeautiful Bradbury custom bat - feels amazing and pings superbly with the mallet!
In the middle is Puma Evo 5000 (love the stickers) purchased from Kitbag - they got the order wrong (there's a surprise!) so I am waiting for the 6000s to comme back into stock and they will swap it - that'll be January! They did the same with the 2 pairs if RP batting gloves I ordered! They sent my LH Mayhem gloves, so they will swap them when they get new stock in January! They only made 3 mistakes with my order!

Anyway, on the right is Salix Praestantia Performance - has been refurbed once by Salix. Great piece of willow!!
