One for Buzz.

Not the most imaginative design...

Also what did you make of last years kooks players editions?

it seems they are jumping on the bandwagon of remfry...

the kook thigh pads are pretty good, although the aussie players don't appear to use them, I have a set of mid range kook thigh pads I am using at the moment and they are decent enough

The "green" ones from last year had UHDF, ultra high desnity foam, they are the hardest, lightest ones i have seen. Much like the remfly ones. They also did some leather covered ones too i think.

In my own searches i have been unable to get the right type of foam. Everything else i can get. If any one ever see any good foams!!!!!!!!

Sir Buzz, would you recommend the Hawk ones? The ones they stock now?

Ben, take a look out ours here. Made by the same people as Hawk (I think) very nice thigh pads.

Ross where have u looked for foams?

The best options ive seen so far are foam floor tiles, which are a bit soft and lamitae floor underlay, which is a bit expensive. Lets use the collective power of custom bats to find a good foam source!
