Title: Do I Go Kookaburra or Slazenger or Ayrtek?
Post by: Liam-SCCC on August 02, 2011, 02:59:12 PM: Hi guys, I have found a decent online sale so thought I would get next seasons kit sorted and then store it away!

I narrowed it down to 2.

Option 1: Slazenger - Ultimate pads and gloves, V100 Pro bat.

Even for a number 11, Jimmy Anderson looks pretty good in this gear.

Total Cost: £292

Option 2: Kookaburra - Kahuna 1000 pads and gloves, Kahuna 800 bat

I have Kook Ice 850 pads and loves the feel, nearly bought the Kahuna 1000 gloves earlier this year and loved them. Had a Kook blade bat that was decent.

Total Cost: £300

Option 3: Ayrtek Elite - Elite Bat, Pads, Gloves and Duffle
Let me know your thoughts.

Liam

Post by: peplow on August 02, 2011, 03:57:05 PM: Ayrtek all the way, you'll love it down there!

Post by: jimba101 on August 02, 2011, 03:58:44 PM: Personally i would go with ayrtek as you can pick up and feel the bat before you buy. I do rather like the kook softs though....

Post by: Liam-SCCC on August 02, 2011, 07:40:58 PM: I am leaning towards Ayrtek as their bats are better and I'd imagine the softs wont be too far off the Kooks
