Title: Visit to SS to pick up SS KP, Gladiator and other Models (Photos Added)
Post by: Uzi Sports on December 20, 2011, 09:23:43 PM: I went to SS with my son Uzi(sponsered by SS) today to handpick SS bats. He also went to pick up his bats.
Spent 5-6 hours with Jamaes Bening to go through almost all the bats they had and picked up all the best ones i could find in all the models. There were few pro players came to pick up their kit.
I was oly going to buy SS KP bats but came back with too many bats(Gladiators, Heritage, LE etc). My weakness is that i can't keep myself away from top performance bats. Any way i will post the photos very soon.

Regards

Asad

Title: Re: Visit to SS to pick up SS KP, Gladiator and other Models
Post by: Uzi Sports on December 21, 2011, 02:04:31 AM: All bats are 2.7 to 2.9 and have edges around 39 to 40mm. These are not picked on their look but mainly how good their pick up and ping is.
Enjoy

Post by: kaustav on December 21, 2011, 02:14:18 AM: Awesome looking willows here :o

Normally SS bats do not have these big edges.

Question: how do you check the ping while hand selecting bats? With a mallet? Old Ball?
Title: Re: Visit to SS to pick up SS KP, Gladiator and other Models (Photos Added)
Post by: Cover_Drive on December 21, 2011, 02:51:46 AM: Key is to bang mallet hard and hear the sound, if it's soft then it's good if not then it will require some knocking etc etc

By bang I don't mean you make a hole but hard enough to hear rebound properly

Post by: kaustav on December 21, 2011, 03:03:55 AM: Yeah-- making a hole in the wood would lead to a lot of raised eyebrows...sorry CD couldn't resist :D

Post by: pacman75cricket on December 21, 2011, 07:05:19 AM: Some really nice looking bats again Asad especially if picked on pickup + ping.

Title: Re: Visit to SS to pick up SS KP, Gladiator and other Models (Photos Added)
Post by: 97notout on December 21, 2011, 12:04:57 PM: Sometimes when I play a shot it seems as though theres a hole in my bat, perhaps I'm hittin them too hard with the mallet or is it I need glasses. lol

Serious question though, never known why the TON on the edges, seems an SFQ but why is it there

Post by: johan95 on December 30, 2011, 08:52:35 AM: County or Nationals?
How tall are you mate. If you are still using junior pads get totr stuff, but from my experience the SS softs are fab. Or you could get some very low sitting adult pads from another brand if you were concerned about amount of protection..?
Title: Re: Visit to SS to pick up SS KP, Gladiator and other Models (Photos Added)
Post by: Joe on December 30, 2011, 09:07:44 AM: To be honest if you spend more than £45 on any pads then your gonna get enough protection as long as your not playing test match level. Go to a cricket shop, try all the pads on and whichever you like the most buy.

Would you recommend the SS Matrix Batting Pads for a junior cricketer playing at the highest level possible?

Definitely recommend SS Matrix pads. We also have Few 2009 Newbery SPS pads and Argis pads at discounted prices

Post by: Uzi Sports on December 31, 2011, 01:16:24 PM: nothing as both are made by the same maufacturer

Post by: kaustav on February 28, 2012, 10:25:09 PM: Asad-- just wanted to give credit where it is due: your SS Matrix is just too good mate. It has transformed my season---- after averaging in single digits in my first 6 innings, I have scored a fifty in each of my last few once I started using it. Coincidence? I dont know but I do know that it is one of the best SS I have ever played with and I have played with a few. There is no bloody doubt that you handpick your bats and your selection is superbly dependable!!

Thanks,
Happy Kaustav :D
