Title: What do you call someone who goes through tons of kit?
Post by: mickyp on January 26, 2013, 04:27:04 PM
On a golf forum I belong to, someone who is constantly buying, trying and selling kit is referred to as a 'club ho' (it's a US based one!). That got me thinking about all the kit that people get through on here. What does everyone think would be a suitable term for the kit junkies on here? Fire away... ;)

Wilkie, Reds or Procricket would be suitable

I'm changing my ways my friend. I have been offered some top draw kit lately and resisted it.
I think it's referred to as SKBK. See Kit, Buy Kit.

I went through a stage of seeing bats I loved the look of, and buying them. Then selling them to friends because hey were the wrong shape bat for me. I've learnt my lesson now, and only get tempted by bats with low middles :).

Just don't talk to me about gloves

That's the most commonly used one on the pro circuit as they go on the hunt for the latest and greatest free clobber

I seem to remember Marcus Trescothick referring to himself as a 'kit bully' in Coming Back To Me because he absolutely loves his gear and tried out a lot of stuff. I'd never heard this before but assumed it was a common term? Anyone else heard this one before?
