Title: Newbery SPS II
Post by: dan_griffin11 on February 21, 2009, 02:28:31 AM
bought a pair of these today from talent cricket, hopefully be using tommorow against a bowling machine, amazing pads, very light weight, and from what i can tell amazing protection. also look amazing i got them in the white, with whited out labels, look stunning, couldn't bear to get the camo. will put up pics later. but advise these to everyone, alot better then the ?gt 335? and IMO better then kahuna ricky pontings!

What made them better than the GT's? Just wondering as I have these and was torn between the two, but didn't get to try both on before I bought.

the gt 335's are too bulky, they are light, but they sit odly on your leg, and i'll put pics up soon :P

yeh i love my SPS 2's! Not sure about the weight thing tho i think my Catalysts are lighter but i like the shape of them especially how the top hats sit back

agreed Arthur, and also agree with you GM, i love the rigidity of the top hat too, makes you feel proper protected
