I purchased the 4lb cji sumo limited edition, it's a great bat to use and not as heavy as you would think, mine has a great feel and pick up, the middle as you could imagine is huge, a few cracks around edges nothing major! The biggest flaw with my bat after only 2 trainings and one 45 over match there was extreme rotation movement in handle, also cracks in splice with a very audible creaking sound, handle is sub par and a serious issue with bat, if they used a better made handle it would an outstanding bat, I know that it's a cheaper bat but I did expect it to last atleast one season! To the manufactures credit they have been very helpful in trying to rectifie problem!
