It was a sample rather than is a sample, if that makes sense.

I love it and IMO it is alot better than the current range.
I also like the gloves, though I would like to see some more silver on the bat prehaps.

Anyway, its good to see them back and that they have other ideas. But will they do much trade now as KP and Fred aren't using them? Maybe they can have Monty as he is currently using blank stuff.

Not a fan of the flat colours, would be nice to see some chrome or carbon fibre type detailing like other brands are doing. Not too much, but enough so it's not just a flat red and white.

Monty would be good to use just purely for his image rights, the companies before who have sponsored him (GM and Hunts) really haven't pushed any pics or advertising featuring him. Maybe that's because he's a crap batsman, but must be worth a go due to his cult status.

I don't get whats the big deal with Monty using blank stuff...
Younis Khan uses a blank bat, yet hes amazing!
Of course Monty is in the same class as Younis... ;)

Title: woodworm signings 09
Post by: cricket-master on April 27, 2009, 05:09:12 PM
from there site

We've been lining up a series of world class players to be using Woodworm, in the county and international arena.

Last year's best English batsmen (according to CC averages), Tony Frost, will be using the Worm this season.

Frosty's captain at Warwickshire, Ian Westwood, will also be representing the brand.

Ant Botha, who's started the season well including a 50 (read about it here), as well as few other players at Edgbaston and across the county scene.

We are delighted that former South African international Martin van Jaarsveld is also using the brand and we look forward to seeing him scoring some serious runs.

We can also reveal that Ashes winner Matthew Hoggard has just agreed to use our kit, so expect to see him Woodwormed up shortly!

they sound good, prices aren't ridiculous either

Post by: gramw on May 07, 2009, 08:40:15 PM
This sounds good;

After purchase, return any old bat to us (yes, even that one at the back of your garage) and we will give you £50 in gift vouchers to spend on the site.
We'll pay for the collection, and when the bat gets back here, we'll donate it straight to worthy cricket charities, with help from the Professional Cricketers Association.
You get £50 in vouchers, regardless of what bat you give back. You get £50 for your old bat, we sell a new bat, and we are both helping charities. Win-win-win!

Post by: Howzat on May 07, 2009, 08:46:46 PM
Sounds too good to be true really, I doubt they would take my old Slaz V800 kashmir willow bat and give me £50?
Title: Re: Theyre back with the Ibat! (pics)
Post by: Tom on May 07, 2009, 08:48:47 PM
It's £50 in vouchers, meaning you'll have to return to their store and buy something else. They'll make plenty of profit on the bat in that deal anyway, enough to cover £50 a couple of times even if it was being paid cash.

I think Woodworm are owned by The Sports HQ, who happen to be the European stockist/supplier of CA. Don't know if it's related

I hate it when companies release something brand new and say it was originally much higher priced. e.g Was £150.00 Now £49.99
