BAT 16 - Lekka TPX (otherwise known as the Beast of Bodmin)

This is the first of the Twenty20 bats I have, and may as well start with a monster!!  >:(
This is the Lekka Envy - longer handle and shorter blade.
The blade is still long enough to be able to play on the back foot, but this is definitely an attacking front foot bat!!
It weighs in at a very strong 2'15, but the pick-up is surprisingly good. With most of the weight lower due to the shorter blade, you would expect it to pick-up very bottom heavy. But it feels more balanced than expected.
It 'only' has 7 grains but oh boy....the entire blade is the sweet spot!  ;)
We are talking 47mm+ edges at the widest point! And the shoulder of the bat (the narrowest point) is still 25mm+

Sporting some nice Cadbury type stickers - if this bat were a human, it would be a trendy doorman!
Anyway, pics to follow shortly..........

No....just my nickname as it's the only beast I could think of at the time!!

And it's decent quality but I would say that it's not quite as good as the Joker in willow quality!
But to take nothing away from this bat...it's very good quality. But with the Joker you are talking as good as you can get!
So it depends on your budget I guess! But for the moment will concentrate on this beauty! The Joker will come later!  8)

Cheers chap - it's a lovely bat. And I have another lighter one to follow later - only 2'11 but equally impressive blade wise!
Plus of course the Black Cat Joker. So that will be more stocky, trendy doorman types to follow.

But will be adding more 'standard' bats this evening.  :D

BAT 17 - Bulldog Mr T

This bat is another big profile bat - huge edges and medium-heavy weight.
It weighs in at 2'14 and picks up pretty well. It's a very large bat for the size - the edges are very impressive at over 40mm, and it's another bat that is large from shoulders to the toe!
The blade feels very responsive with the ball mallet, but I guess it will do considering it is huge! It feels like the kind of bat that would be boundary-bound whenever you made decent contact on the ball.
Not 100% convinced by the stickers as they're a bit grey for me, but they are ok, and I know some of the forum members like them. Anyway - pics to follow.........
