Hi guys,
Need a couple of new anti-scuff sheets for my bats.
On my previous scuff sheets I've had I've found they all protect my bat well enough, but they don't allow marks and cherries to be left on the bat. This might sound weird but I like my bats looking well used with cherries all over the face.
What scuff sheets show up cherries do people find?
Thanks
-
I know hammer edge does.
-
My bat looks like I've had some long innings due to all the cherries left on the scuff sheet (hammer edge) truth is it's only been used in about 10 nets
-
Give it a whack on the Bowling Machine Al, my Instinct is Green ;)
-
Haha, I wish mine was! The cherries just don't seem to stay on, they only seem to stay on for a couple of balls before they get rubbed off by the next shot :(
-
Ohh that's a shame then mate :( - Your hammer edges are too good lol ;)
Do you use the really hard bowling machine balls (cue the puns!) - cause some of the harder ones have green marks on them (waheyy)...light ones won't mark the green?
Or just have a net when you try to leather everything, that ought to give a few cherries :)
-
I use the hard red Bola balls mate, everyone elses bats get plastered in Green cherries and mine are left all clean!
Its a Kookaburra anti-scuff so might be why, its very good quality though!
-
Yeah if yours isn't getting plastered in cherries something must be up...
Too good a scuff sheet as I said...honestly ;) :D
-
Which scuff sheet do you use?
I mean I like to have clean bats which scuff sheets are those mate?
-
They are Kookaburra ones, not there Armourtec ones though.
The first came with a refurb and the second was supplied on a Pro's bat.

I find the type of ball you play against influences the amount of 'cherries' you get. Our saturday league balls leave nothing but the ones we use on sundays cover bats in huge red marks. Possibly something to do with type of dye used or how they treat the leather.
