Title: Bat Armour
Post by: tommo256 on March 05, 2011, 08:34:36 AM

Hello,
I came across these on ebay and wondered if anyone knew about them or if they were decent?

I've got a couple, never had any problems with them! Maybe not as good as hammer sheets but still decent.

Maybe you got a bad one, or I've got a good one! Only got one on my bats, the other one isn't needed yet. Will be buying  hammer sheets next time, just because everyone else seems to think they're class! ;)

Hammer edge and poly-ugermaflip sheets are by far better quality than bat armour.
And even if they are slightly cheaper, we are talking about the best protection for a very expensive bat.
So the question I would have is, do you really want to save £2 and not protect your bat as well?  ???

They are ok but for just a little more you can get a superior anti scuff sheet, check out Mr Talisman he normally has a good line in Scuff sheets at good prices!!!

Aye, but being a student you've gotta try and save some cash somewhere! And considering it's my inside edge that takes the most battering, my scuff sheet is in near perfect condition...

Yeah, I will have word with talisman. I was trying save money in every possible area at minute ha

Theres also a difference between cheaps branded scuff sheets which have cracked easily.

Local sports shop were selling branded @ £3 or helicopter scuff off the roll from Hunts for £5 worth the difference in my opinion.

Sorry Guys time was a factor when purchasing.

I agree the Bat Armout is terrible and the Romida stuff is the way to go.

Post by: Talisman on March 05, 2011, 10:13:30 AM

Are they the good ones? better than hammer edge?

Title: Re: Bat Armour
Post by: procricket on March 05, 2011, 10:25:02 AM

each to there own i guess i prefer these ones to anything on the market other prefer hammer edge

Title: Re: Bat Armour
Post by: Talisman on March 05, 2011, 10:26:53 AM

I use both, the hammer edge are better if you want to soften the edges as you will apply fibre tape to do this, they are also a touch lighter.

Waht price for those Talisman?

Title: Re: Bat Armour
Post by: Talisman on March 05, 2011, 10:28:29 AM

It is based on quantity, the more you buy the cheaper it gets, £4 posted for one sheet.
