So tell us... what have you done, why so secretive, if I made a bat that was supposedly better than anything else I'd want to tell people what idea I had come up with?
PS. If anyone is interested, first prototypes of Lekka T20 bat in that style were made in November 2008

Not if you hadn't patented it, you wouldn't.  Joker 'prototypes' have been in the making for months as well, I only count a bat as being a bat (as opposed to an idea) when it is released, and available to buy.

lots of back biting going on here but i would like to know what makes the joker so special in fact without knowing i would not part with my cash even thought they look so good and both pete and rich like them.

as i have said before without knowing it is a big harrow and i would love to know what makes them special enough to spend the money on one.

as i have said before i am  no batmaker but i a user why should i spend my cash??

[petehosk]

I know for a fact that the Lekka was not released back then because I only just got hold of one!!
Anyway guys - why the sudden interest in Lekka bats? I was under the impression that most people on here didn't particularly like him?
And that they would never buy his bats? So why the sudden interest all of a sudden? 

[carn69]

i'd take a lekka for the right price

[procricket]

pete i would not buy one of his bats your right my question has not been answered by black cat 

and mr lekka i know you trail this forum it just i did not like how you talked to me so no offence to your equipment which i have herd is good stuff

Fair enough, but with so many batmakers contributing and reading the forum, we'd be foolish to let everyone know the secret of the Joker.

why if you have patented it?

[Black Cat Cricket]

As I said, we haven't patented it.

[petehosk]

Would be interested to see what other people think!
I have always found him a good guy to deal with, but I seem to remember a lot of talk about how some people would never ever buy anything off him?
I find it quite funny that there's suddenly a lot of interest! 

[carn69]

blackcat this may be none of my buisness but how many jokers have you sold ?

[procricket]

so your telling me that everything that the joker stands for is within the laws of the game

i mean totally made out of wood no glue no lamination

Yes, of course.

[procricket]

so it must be treatment of the wood can be only secret

or something with the handle

[Tom]

Do you use the same technology in your regular bats?

[procricket]

hollowed out handle is that possible??

hollowed out top part of the bat similar to impala drilling holes through there's.

or just a bog standard harrow with a big cleft air dried???
