Title: New kit excitement
Post by: WalkingWicket37 on May 08, 2013, 07:13:28 AM
Am I just a sad muppet or does anyone else get really excited when they have new kit due to arrive??
I've got a new bag and a slightly used (but bargain price) Ayrtek due to arrive and I'm worse than a kid at Christmas!

Does anyone else get this excited or do I need to re-evaluate my life?? Haha  :D

Totally agree, real buzz when you see the van pull up and then I always ruin the packaging when I rip it open!

I think everyone on here is the same, I get worried that the wife will be in when the delivery comes so it more nerves than excitement. :D
Not a problem when I get it sent to my work.
My guilty pleasure is keeping gloves and they are ideal for just wearing in the house, watching the telly or throwing a ball into and I can always use the excuse they need breaking in. ;)

It's a wheeze, but the tension mounts when you have to wait for the next game to use it.....

Went home on my lunch break and the bag has arrived :D
Just need Royal Mail to get their finger out so I can use my Ayrtek at training tonight!

No Ayrtek delivered but the heavens opened and training was cancelled. Might have better luck tomorrow  :(

Nothing better than a new piece of kit. I'll always be trying it on endlessly, not that it changes from one time to another! Always picking up a bat to see how it feels, practice a few shots etc.

Hmmm, I now feel the need for new kit. *heads for the For Sale section*

Had this waiting for me when I got home from work

It has a couple of marks on it but considering I paid less than £50 I don't mind that  :)

And the Island Sports wheelie that arrived yesterday. Very impressed with this for the price

It's getting excruciating as awaiting 2 bats - a Talisman Perfect Storm AND a L&W Special Reserve!

Does life get any better...  :)

It's been a whole 2 months since I last bought kit, new bat was dispatched today, actually buzzing for the delivery tomorrow!
It's coming to work so no questions will be asked when a new bat turns up  :D

What have you gone for?

A GM Octane F2 808
Mass produced and a big brand I know, but I was keen to try one out. If it doesn't go for me I can get my money back on eBay so thought it was worth a punt

I do like the look of Octane's where have you ordered it from? Did you get to see pics of it before you ordered?

Spent a while trying to find somewhere with one in stock, got it from owzat-cricket in the end.

I didn't see it, but being an 808 I'm confident it will be a nice looking stick
