Title: CJI flextech style...
Post by: Howzat on January 05, 2009, 05:35:50 PM: (http://www.cricketbats.com/auction/uploaded/2008-8-0/rad3D363Ultimateprotechpad.jpg)
What does everyone think of these pads? Would I just be better off with Flextechs?

Post by: slogger02 on January 05, 2009, 05:39:36 PM: get proper flextechs, i briefly had a pair very similiar and they were awful pads, it would have been more comfortable to wear corregated steel around my legs!
they dig in in all sorts of places, they are quite weighty from what i remember, look horrible and the protection isn't anything special.

They look ok - look a bit heavy and bulky!

Post by: sultanofswing on January 05, 2009, 05:54:19 PM: i was very tempted by the cji pads but then i decided on canterbury cuts instead, which i have to say are exceptionally light and pretty comfy

you could always try the new adidas pads they are a similar style, theres club for about £30 and top of th range for £80ish

Post by: Howzat on January 05, 2009, 06:03:13 PM: Hmmm anyone know how light the canterburys are compared to other pads?
Sultan did you post a review on these pads?
Title: Re: CJI flextech style...
Post by: sultanofswing on January 05, 2009, 06:47:25 PM: no i havent i have got cricket commitee at 7.30 but will post pics and review afterwards.

i have read somewhere that canterbury front pad is 100g lighter than aero front pad

Post by: Howzat on January 05, 2009, 06:49:57 PM: Thanks Sultan - I look forward to it :)

Post by: yvk3103 on January 05, 2009, 07:01:29 PM: The CJIs look aweful. The colors are too loud. I prefer the Puma flextechs. The new Iridium's are good looking.

I prefer the more traditional looking pads though.

Post by: slogger02 on January 05, 2009, 07:12:36 PM: had the canterbury pads, as sultan says they are really nice pads and are lighter than everthing bar aero etc
Title: Re: CJI flextech style...
Post by: Howzat on January 10, 2009, 09:43:55 PM: Finally ordered some pads, went with Canturbury Cut Medium RH for just £22 :D

Post by: Marcussjd9 on January 10, 2009, 10:14:25 PM: Where you pick them up from Leo?
Title: Re: CJI flextech style...
Post by: sultanofswing on January 10, 2009, 10:18:28 PM: hope u like them leo!
Title: Re: CJI flextech style...
Post by: Howzat on January 10, 2009, 10:38:34 PM: Rang up Roksport as they only had Small Mens on their website. They said they will send me medium size and wrote a note, then I made my order online :)
Hope they remember to send the right pads!

Post by: E-Unit on January 11, 2009, 07:52:53 AM: Why not get normal pads leo? lol
Title: Re: CJI flextech style...
Post by: Howzat on January 11, 2009, 09:23:53 AM: I like the canterburys a lot, theyre not too weird but theyre half as light as most normal pads. Also apparently theyre shaped so you can get more leg byes haha!

The ball does fly off them (which can be a positive or negative in certain situations). Sorry I didn't get back to you about sizes but if you're 5'10" as you say then the mediums should definitely fit you perfectly

Title: Re: CJI flextech style...
Post by: sultanofswing on January 15, 2009, 10:56:32 AM: You could have just hit the ball??
Title: Re: CJI flextech style...
Post by: dan_griffin11 on January 16, 2009, 12:07:56 AM: cause i didn't try and hit it or anything.... and everyone i've known that uses flextechs has found it has happned at least once to them
Title: Re: CJI flextech style...
Post by: Bellie on January 16, 2009, 07:09:40 PM: i dont really get what your on about. is getting bowled off your pads when the ball hits your pads and rolls back on to the stumps?
