Nice!!! :)
Looks good and light at the same time.
-
yeah im hoping they will do the job :)
-
Look nice canners. Very morrant esque. Is that what you guys were going for?? How much are these going for when designs etc are decided?? Any inside images? I really like those.
-
Must resist buying pads, must resist buying pads.
Canners there stunning!! Fingers crossed I have some dollar when you finalise these.
There a thing of beauty IMO :)
-
Tai rates his morrant pads as the best hes ever used, so put a very strong case forward in going for this design, i like the way these have turned out. I am very pleased with them and looking forward to using them
i will post pics of the inside PW88... gimme 2 secs

Will you be doing a small men's or a youths version for us short people? :)
I do really like them a lot ha
-
Very nice minimalist but classy design as well. I am sure the people will latch onto these ones once the 'forum special offers' come out :D
When is the website grand opening?
-
quite possibly, depending on how popular these are.....
im sure i can add a pair off youths small mens in my next order if required

nah the website should be up for early March, everything is starting to come together quite nicely

These pads looks really nice.
How big is the top hat in comparison to the Morrants? I find it occasionally gets in the way.

Go-on Canners, get them KG ones
-
These are lovely canners, very very nice :)
-
Will you be bring gloves out as well then?
-
They look great, when will they be on sale and any ideas on the rough price?
Also are they going to be similar material on the front to the morrants or have they got a pu fronting?
-
PU I hope, that's the clincher
-
There are only few brands that do pads in retro white colour and they are a tad expensive. They look really classy.I wonder if you could the traditional pads in retro white. Though I am not sure if it's much in demand. :)
-
They have a PU outer
-
Any thoughts of matching gloves? And if so, what style? My vote is for GM LE / GN Legend style
-
bats, now pads?! man of many talents...really like these Mike. Might be in touch :D

Gloves are on there way also, but thinking about tinkering with the current design so watch this space
-
Very nice!
-
great from the front but i always buy pads that are not white on the inside due to my sweaty legs - unless internal pads can be removed for washing - might be something worth considering.
-
just come back from a net with Mr blank bat.
he had two 2020 bats which were astonishing.
but that is an aside.
the softs are significantly better in real life than the pictures. The gloves especially compared favourably with my gm le ones and the pads offered excellent protection and they needed to with the hopping around Canners was doing... out 4 times in his first 6 balls... anyway I wad very pleasantly surprised.
those bats of his phwwoorr
-
Ahem. . . . out four times. . . .thats the Mike i know. . . .lol
-
...you really ought to procure an entire set (FOC) for batoff purposes
-
canners is a good guy, but he doesn't need to hand out free kit to me. The kit is excellent.
-
Ahem. . . . out four times. . . .thats the Mike i know. . . .lol
to be fair I was out more times than usual too!
-
Mr. Buzz did you happen to wear the pads? If so how were they? Did you have a go with a Twenty20 bat?
-

To be fair I just meant on a 'demo' basis
-
Show us the T20 bats.... Now!
-
Buzz what happened to......
rule 1 about barn club, you do not talk about barn club haha
i'm glad you loved the soft goods, im very very pleased how they came out. I seriously think people will struggle to match the quality of our softs for the price.......
oh and that T20 bat is something else, what a pick up....
Tim you couldnt handle this bat ;)
-

Canners didn't have a demo bat irritatingly but I haven't picked up a bat that screamed runs like those 2020 bats for a while.
I tried the pads, now I am not usually a fan of the modern style of pad, but these are of high quality and good fit. they are also good to run in, and light.
they will take some wearing in however.
-
Buzz when can you speak to the Stig regarding the sponsorship deal?
quite like the idea of seeing my gear on the big screen ;)

How much are you willing to pay? I haven't spoken to him about his sponsorship deal, but it can't be that old as he has only recently moved to GM from Newbery. :o
Plus he has to like a company's logo, so you will struggle there too... ???
-
The stig doesn't even know pittards leather when he see's it, so I'm afraid our kit would be wasted on him ;)

Haha thanks for replying! I appreciate it :).
I quite like the fact they have PU facing so if they get dirty then they can be easily cleaned.
Stig has moved to Newbery? :O I guess he want to become a classy batsman like Ian Bell perhaps :D ;)
Time for him to join M&H club :D
-
no, the stig has only recently moved from newbery to gm.
and with canners poor chat he won't be signing to 66 for the srilankan2020 competition which he is trying to get a contract in (mrs stig didn't want to go to Bangladesh ahead of their trip to the ipl
-
I've had a quick look through the pages and cannot see how much these will be

Thanks mate was just posting that exact link
-
Right then - a little update on these. as you all know, I am a proper batsman now, so my reviews carry a certain amount of gravitas.
I tried a pair of these out on Friday, during a net. I have to say, I was never bothered by this type of pads, I thought they were a bit poncey and over the top.
My initial reaction is that they are seriously light, and very, very comfortable - I really couldn't have predicted how different they were.
I even tried a couple of something called 'runs' after hitting the ball, and there is no problem with the whole 2 strap thing and the pads slipping. They also take the impact of a ball fine, when you miss it - as Canners ably demonstrated.
As much as I dislike praising Canners for anything, these are very nice, and I kind of 'get' this type of pad now. If you are looking for something light and a bit different, these are well worth a look.
(The Cat would like to make clear he receives no renumeration for these reviews, only snacks)
-
Brucey i must say you looked even better with those pads on, i thought it was Ravi Bopara without the tan ;)
-
LOLOL
-
Top value as well ;)
-
These look lovely, I was in the same boat as Fattus but, more and more companies are going this way and I guess this style has just grown on me! Looks a top job Canners!
-
I agree they look great, wish I'd waited and bought some of these but will have to use my GM LE D3O pads now as they didn't sell.
Only thing I would change is the colour of the interior padding just do it doesn't get marked by sweating - not that I usually bat long enough to sweat much of course.
-
Thanks been netting an awful lot in these and cant believe how protective they are for the weight, i dont think il be going back to traditional pads for a while

You need a car lot, you're a natural ;)
