I have sourced some helicopter scuff sheet that I believe enhances the bats performance in a similar way to a laminated bat through a combination of the glue and thicker plastic used. It's used on Helicopter erosion shields and I have been trialing it now for a few months. I think it works but would like some others to give me their opinion. Therefore I'm looking for 3/4 people to have a go with it and give me their honest opinion.
Let me know if you are interested and I will choose a few to trial it for me.
Thanks
-
yes please, I
will pm you have pm'd you (twice!)!
Many thanks
-
Ok Buzz your number 1. Pm me your address and I will post one to you. Put it on one of you decent bats and let me know what you think.
-
i'm game :)
do i need to pm you?
thanks
-
I'm keen, but not planning on hitting any cricket balls until February now
-
I'm keen as well :D
-
I'll be up for testing one :)
-
Ideally I need people that are going to be netting in the next week or 2.
Thanks

I have games until the end of September so I'm your guy :D haha
-
I'm up for it and playing at least 3 more games this season :D

yes please keiron iam all up for that
-
How much are they as I have a rubbish scuff sheet on my D&R so could be in the market for buying one :D
-
I'm waiting for the feedback from the tests before putting a price on them !
-
Haha Christ, if this keeps up, bowlers are going to need standard issue bottle-tops to stay competitive in the game!
Having said that, we are deep into pre-season training if you are willing to sell to Australia?
-
If you haven't got enough mate and you know of somewhere to go for a net lol, I'm keen.
-
certainly interested. Have a bat I could try it on.
-

Haha, where are you from? Newcastle here!
-
I'll definitely be up for it, as university nets start pretty much as soon as term starts, so I could get you the test results 2 weeks after the training starts? I feel one session won't be good enough!
-
If you can get it to me for Saturday, I'm supposed to be playing on Sunday!
-
Hey mate i wouldn't mind trying these as i need some sheets anyways and also have 4 league matches and 2 finals left...
P.s. also pm'd earlier but was typing with one hand as the other hand was busy keeping a 1 yr old at bay....
-
Kieron I have games this Saturday and Sunday and can net whenever the weather holds so can put my name in the ring if you want.
-
Thanks for all the offers and pm's gents. I have selected a few peopl and the sheets will be in the post today. Give them a go and see what you think.
Thanks again
-
awww boo ive only just seen this :(
-
Hopefully those who I sent scuff sheets out to have received them by now. I know Dave (procricket) has already used his and recognised some difference. Wonder if anyone else has had chance to use ?
-
Haven't received it yet, took the old one off and gave my bat a sanding and oil in prep for it to go on.
-
I used mine in grinding out 34 on Sunday. Very impressed with the thickness, it's going to take alot to break through that sucker. Looks like 3 layers? Performance wise, I didn't think I timed it any worse than normal but didn't feel a noticeable improvement. It's difficult when your bat is going pretty well anyway and the deck for once is coming on. That said, one little collingwood shovel down the ground did seem to speed away...
-
So chaps what the feed back like?? My SAF needs a refurb and my D&R needs a new scuff sheet and these sound like the go..
-
well i like mine there tough for sure and do not mark easily i found no significant increase performance but they are a top scuff sheet bar the gloss finish
Cheers keiron for allowing me to test it
-
Hmmm how glossy is the gloss?
-
similar to the gloss as Laver scuff too
there a quality product
-
Thanks Pro... Will have to wait and see when they become available
-
I guess only time will tell if them improve performance but hey like Dave says they are good scuff sheets all the same.
If anyone would like some please drops an email or pm.
-
How much?
-
So what's the verdict on these? Did anyone notice performance enhancement after slapping these on?
Btw, how thick are these sheets? Regular sheets are about 6-8 mils I guess.
-

No chance. Regular scuff sheet is less than 1mm thick.
-
0.6 - 0.8 I think he meant
-
1 mil = .001 inch (.025 millimetre)
So 8 mil would be about 0.2 mm
-
"Anti-scuff – All bats may have a sheet of traditional style anti-scuff fitted. This sheet shall not exceed 0.04 in/1 mm in thickness"
-
Mate, 1 mm is the maximum thickness allowed. I don't think typical scuff sheets come anywhere close to that.
-
1 mil = .001 inch (.025 millimetre)
So 8 mil would be about 0.2 mm
Hmmm. Either you live somewhere imperial or you are of an older disposition... I normally hear mil as slang for mm.
-

It's a US term. One thousandth of an inch is call Mil or a thou is equal to a mil
-
In Norwegian a mil is 10km, that'd be one serious anti-scuff.
-
So Kieron, how thick are these sheets then?
-
Does the below also apply to bat tape?
"Anti-scuff – All bats may have a sheet of traditional style anti-scuff fitted. This sheet shall not exceed 0.04 in/1 mm in thickness"
Definitely seen multiple layers of bat tape that would be more than 1mm thick
-
So Kieron, how thick are these sheets then?
I would say 1/2 mm or 20 thou to those imperial engineers out there. I will get my mic out tomorrow and let you know exactly.

Pls share your test results too!!
-
Any updates/feedback on these scuff sheets?
-
All the scuff sheets purchased yesterday were sent out today.
Still have some left if anyone is interested.
-
What price for one of these mate :).
-
£5 inc postage for 1. Discount on multiple purchases.
-
Still have some of this left. Drop me a pm if you would like some. Thanks.
-
I'll have 3, will collect when we come down to you Saturday week.
-
No worries Bruce.
-
can you please put a picture of this magic :) scuff sheet
-
Think Dave procricket put a picture up somewhere with it applied to a bat. It's not magic by the way.
Let me know if you would like some
Thanks
-
Received some sheets this morning, look good quality and very quick delivery! If only they would turn me into a good batsmen! :-[
-
Bought one of these last week.
Seen a better "ping" on my bat. Much stronger than other scuff sheets
Might be worth trying a thicker design (as people have mentioned). Same theory as a laminate bat, but not too sure if it would be illegal to use a 2-3mm scuff sheet
-
How have other people been finding this scuff sheet ?

Haven't tried them yet...but will most likely give them a go on Feb 2nd
-
so guys what's the verdict? any feedback....
-
Any of these left Mr Bulldog?
-
Yes Sir, drop me a PM and we will sort some out for you.
-
i am thinking of getting some of this or the helicopter stuff,but no one seems to have put a review of it. can anyone give me an appraisal
and is it really 3mm thick
-
In all honesty I prefer a helicopter sheet. I liked the idea of this version but the rigidity meant that when you edges the ball, the sheet split and cracked. And, hands down the most god awful scuff sheet to remove!
If you don't mind spending time to remove it (or get someone else to do it) then I'd recommend them if you can somehow reinforce the edges.
-
put mine on and was really impressed, the bowlers who nearly lost their ankles weren't though.
ive just bought 4 more, highly recommended
-
They are less than 1mm thick. I guess the extra glue makes them difficult to remove, not that I have tried.
-
Dont like the sound of them splitting when edging,are they that brittle?what about putting a strip of the fibre tape down the edges nice and tight
-
Ive not had one split personally.
-
Another idea might be to trim them to bat width so that they don't wrap around the edges.
-
Any of these left fella?
-
Ideally I need people that are going to be netting in the next week or 2.
Thanks
even am intrstd. in this pease.

Just on the cracking topic, my outside edge has received a right battering and has cracked onto the face, but the inside edge is fine:-

That said it's done a decent job of protecting the face during winter nets, better than many I've used. I'm going to leave it on for the season and get GM to refurb the bat in the autumn, including taking the sheet off :)

Normally I put fibreglass tape on the edges to stop this from happening! Nothing bugs me more than a cracking scuff! >:(
-
mines been doing this, looks a right mess, gonna trim all the scuff off round the edge of the bat, then just replace it with tape
-
Think I will trim the sheets to bat width in future to save from cracking. Afterall you don't need performance enhancing on the edges anyway !!

speak for yourself
-

Definitely not mate, my edges go well enough for the ball to carry to slip without enhancing the performance ;)
-
Haha yes, perhaps that is the next product to look into......a scuff sheet edges that stops the ball carrying to the slips !!
-
Can those who’ve used these recently please post your results? Concerned that if they crack like shown in Chads pics then perhaps hammer edge would be a better alternative.
-
as per my pics above, the outside edge got a battering. The inside edge was fine. Funny enough on another bat I found plenty of damage in the same area, using a hammer edge scuff. Difference between the two bats is the scuff type and I suspect this scuff it a little too rigid on the edges. However, I also don't think a Hammer Edge would protect your bat any better, it just doesn't crack on the scuff, but on the bat itself. As Kieron suggests, a face only sheet would solve this problem and I found little or no damage to the bat on the face. Performance wise, the bat went well with it on but now I've taken it off I'll have a clearer idea when I next use it.
-
Sold out of these at the moment. Next batch will be bat width to eliminate the edge cracking problem.
-
Agree - I think if like the hammer edge these could be cut to the width of the bat with edge tape it may work better.
Kieron did you get my message?
-
does anyone on the forum have these helicopter sheets need 3 asap. can pay through bank or paypal. whatevers preferable........
-
I have plenty of Helcopter scuff sheet in stock.

I'm confused!! Is the stuff in the pics which was trialed/ cracked not Helicopter Scuff sheet?
-
I'm confused!!
lol so am i, didnt notice that and i just paid......
-
No, those are performance scuff sheets!
-
Hi lad. Have the next batch of performance scuff sheets arrived yet

Can you please send me couple of these for trial??
-
These sheets sounds amaizing, dfntly. want to use one.
-
How do these enhance a bats performance, do they just give the bat more ping?
-
Back by popular demand......I have more of the performance scuff sheet in stock. This time it is more flexible than last time so will not crack on the edges as some people experienced before.
£4.00 inc postage for 1 sheet. Discounts for larger orders.
Thanks
Kieron
-
How long is it mate?
And while we're on the subject of length how long is 1 sheet of this?
-
Standard length is 33cm for 1 sheet but its on a roll so can be cut to any length that is required.
-
Are any of these still available? if they are what is the prices for these?
-
Yes still available and its £4 a sheet. Thanks.
-
Hello,
How much would be three performance scuff sheets including shipping to Finland?
-
Good morning
How much for three scuff sheets?
How much do the sheets weigh?
Many thanks
