Ok, GM users. What in your opinion/experience are thhe best softs combinations from
GM? And what do you use.
-
i have both the d30 original l.e and the original l.e gloves , i prefer the original l.e gloves due to being sausage fingered also not as bulky as the d30 pads i went for the original l.es very light better looking then the d30 and not as exspenive .
-
Original Limited Edition, love the look of the gloves and pads look nice too! In pads I like last years D30 but this years are crap.
I have 2009 model Original Limited Edition pads and gloves, still thinking if its worth upgrading to 2011 model so I can have a complete matching set!
-

What's the problem with them?
-
Edward, have GM changed the sizing of their pads?
In 2008/09 I was around 5ft 8/9 and wore a pair of your mens 909 pads fine. They were perfect for me and I loved them. However, I had a pair of your 2010 LE pads and had to get rid of them as they felt too big. And that was me a 6ft 1.
Has the mens sizing changed or thetop strap moved up.

CD's quite particular with looks, Ed. He doesn't like the Apex either for some reason!
-
Still using a pair of 2009 original LE gloves as they're so soft and comfy. Really like the armourtan leather palms as they haven't worn much at all so ill be keeping these for a little while yet :D

LOL Haha Sami thanks :)
Edward to be honest I personally don't like the look of this year D30 last years looked much better in my opinion.
The LE's are perfect, have my eyes set on them!
Original Tehnik and D30 Original last years were lot better than current ones because the present one look much flatten out and it make them look wide
-
I really like the new 2011 LE softs, just too bloody expensive
-
I agree but they are quality too! My friend has last years D30 and they are of impressive quality and mine are great too!
So quality is there.
-
I just couldn't bare to see £100+ go on a pair of pads
-
Have to say i have used the Original LE pads and gloves and they are superb very comfy and stylish!!

Hi Liam - no we haven't particularly changed our sizing specs. Are you sure the LE's weren't OSM compared to Mens?
Kind regards

Yep, I agree with you on the catalogue and web illustrations of the d3O pads. However, these were pre-production and for production, additional vertical ribs were used which much improves the look and feel of the pads.

Quite right, outrageous prices.
For the 2011 season, all software costs from India skyrocketed for all brands.
Kind regards

Yeah I understand the reasoning behind it all. Ill just have to save some pennies :)
I have an apex LE in my possession now and I must say for a shelf brand it feels superb.

you buy coverpoint pro's?
-
Yeah we came to an agreement
grains looked nice on it, tap up well?
-
They are nice and i haven't had chance yet. Still at work
-
a shelf brand
"a shelf brand"
Since 1885. Oh well, back to the drawing board....
-
My top strap snapped on my LEs. Gutted hadn;t had them long,
-
I meant off the top shelf Edward. No disrespect was meant in any way. I've always liked the GM gear Ive just never had the finances to fund a purchase.
-
Good addition of 'top' shelf as well Liam - would you like a spade to dig yourself out of this one mate ;)
-
top shelf
"top shelf", OMG it gets worse!
What would William Gunn (RIP) say...
-
I think GM have their own shelf...
In my opinion, the Jack Daniels of cricket. And I bloody love JD mate ;)
On a side note - Edward, I didn't realise the Unicorn you represent looks after the darts as well! Amazing what google and Linkedin will tell you!
-

Well the bats we saw could be classed as bat porn so fair shout I reckon

You all know what I meant lol

More of a single malt kind of a chap myself!
Yes, Unicorn actually owns GM - I trust you were watching the Premier League of Darts from Sheffield last night?
-

"Top drawer" perhaps?

When I have MD after my name in company emails, I will start drinking single malt.
Not missed one yet this season. Suprised Aidy Lewis is having a nightmare, whilst Taylor seems to have remembered how to play the game
-

Indeed.
-
Edward may i ask a question please
Why do you not sell the same pads to the public as you do to the pro's is if for brand recognition as i understand there a advertising size your not allowed to break.
Thank you for your time Sir

Adrian certainly didn't turn up last night, but he's poised in 5th, so not so shabby. As for The Power, simply the Greatest There Has Ever Been.
Well done James, Barney & Gary last night too

How do you mean? Tell me more!
-
well i see the side stripe i understand that your only allowed so much advertising on your pads in the first class list a professional arena.
Why not sell the same pads to the general public or is it to do with brand recognition Sir.
Sorry about the spelling writing..

The players issue don't have Limited Edition etc printed on the wings either.

I think I would rephrase the question "Why are the players not allowed to wear the magnificent designs that are made available to the public?"
We set out to design a coordinated range that we believe best suits the needs of the cricketer and the marketplace, and that then gets regulated by the powers that be.
Just the way it is, I guess!

The LE's were definitely Mens, I also tried on some of this years 909 D30 pads in Mens and it felt the same. I have also seen this with other brands
-
I thought I would drag this up - I have helped myself to a set of 2011 909 pads (£44) and Original gloves (£40) in the sale - some pretty decent prices for this stuff about... :) got some free GM trackie bottoms with them too.
Just need to test out a GM thigh pad and I will be all set to go ;)
-
Deal of the day... http://www.sportsdirect.com/gunn-and-moore-original-limited-edition-batting-gloves-859274

I paid £39 for the bag mid season off kickback sports and for the money it's pretty good, only used it about 6 or 7 times though so I wish I'd waited for this sale.
Still very tempted by the GM LE gloves but keep holding on to see if any other better offers like a end of season sale from H4L, redback or any of the other brands.
-
humm - I think they may have sold out of the gloves as I haven't had a confirmation email yet of the order and they are not on the website any more - it usually comes in a couple of minutes, but this has taken an hour or so already... :( :(
-
I've got both this years LE pads and gloves, and had last years, excellent quality and so comfy!

I did wonder why they had come back in stock after disappearing, almost looked like the sports direct website had gone back to how it was about 3 or 4 weeks ago as the d30 pads were back too. I wasn't sure about ordering anyway so I'll hang on and see if any other stuff comes up cheap. looking at previous years h4l, redback have had sales on so keeping my fingers crossed.
If no good offers I'll make my current softs last as theyre ok really, I'm just tempted by new stuff.
-
just got the confirmation email, I'm pretty happy about that one!
-
Here are the 909 pads (looking a bit odd as I have done up the straps tightly as part of the wearing in process. - the "top hat" is in proportion - the picture just looks odd because of the angle) and the orignial gloves. My new L.E. Gloves will be here today or more likely tomorrow...

well done on going the whole hog and getting the le gloves, i just hope the pads offer enough protection against the bola's 85mph in duckers :)

85 mph induckers - pah - I will be smashing them through midwicket into the solar panels.
And remember I will be working you over with the help of the ridge afterwards :)
