I happened to stumble upon Lekka and James on Facebook, as he posted that he required a bat tester to test a new shape he had been working on. Having not seen a Lekka previously, I do not know as to whether this is a new shape on not but I thought why not and emailed him about it. Being the poor student I am, the £100 original offer was too much for me so asked if their were a way to decrease it. James said if I have any mate who need a bat I should speak to them and the more people I got interested the cheaper it would be. All in all it came to £75 per bat, something I thought was reasonable, at least just to see what they were like. The paypal gift way of paying was a bit strange as I think he does it to get the customer to pay for the fees which isn't the most professional but none the less I went for it. Many weeks later they arrived and I thought I might as well share it, for the price it is definitely good value, the pick up is light and the ping straight out the bag is very impressive, especially considering the price.
Weight: 2lb 7oz
Edges: 36mm
Spine: 60mm
Handle: Round, prefer an oval.
Pick up: Light
Concaving: A fair bit, nothing over the top
Yet to use it in the nets so interested to see how it fairs and if it will last. Not my first choice bat for next season as I have a superb B&S GP 247 and a fair bit lighter than it too, but it is bound to find a place in my collection somewhere.
