Just seen this is the new company that IJC are stocking, anyone know anything at all about them? Seem to be so many new ones popping up all the time. Wonder who makes these?

Branding seems quite influenced by Hammer Cricket, might just be coincidence though.

Their batmaker is listed as one James Dollive, if that means anything to anyone.

EDIT - seemingly he's the guy from JeDi cricket.

I sure it's based in that area so would not be surprised if it was as the guy from Jedi as Paul from ijc said they was made by a established bat maker

I applaud the fact they're trying to keep their prices vaguely sensible at least. I also like the fact in their useful info section they state on looking after your bat you should try to 'avoid excessive mis-timed shots'. If only it were that simple! 😂

Bats have a TK-ish sort of look to them, which would make sense as that'e where Jedi apparently get their part mades from.

I did think they were the new Hammer stickers at first glance though... :-[

Can't say for certain it's the same guy, but JEDi have a batmaker called james Dollive.

When I saw the pictures I thought they looked alright. Would be keen to see more of the profiles rather than the stock pictures on the website.

Judging by the toes on a couple of recent new brands and the confirmed link with Jedi on this one, the chap is turning out a fair few bats lately!

Hi Gents. Yes they are made by James from Jedi as stated on their website.

Viking are stocked at a couple of place like IJC (New) and in The Cricket Asylum as well as being available direct.

We were in discussions with them but we cant decide if they would fall into the non sticker brand category that we work with.

Guy local to me, his son played with me last year. Made locally at Jedi. He used to distribute for Hammer season before last so assuming thats where the design style has come from.
