Sam, why not try Newbery GT335 in small mens, they look great, offer class leading protection and have a small top hat.

newbery pads are a different class mate, highly highly reccommended, as is dealing with talisman, great bloke

Post by: peplow on August 17, 2009, 08:30:24 PM
talisman, i considered those or the spsII but i heard bad reviews about the spsII and i saw the gt335 on sunday whilst playing and they looked really odd....i think this may be becuase they were on a really odd, short, fat man but i'm not sure....

I have the Kookaburra Ricky Ponting and they are very nice but not as good a fit as the Newbery SPS2's which are my favorite ever pad, tried the M&H Distinction but they look good without offering the protection.

Mike did you get my PM?

Post by: peplow on August 17, 2009, 10:25:15 PM
talisman, which are smaller fitting and smaller top hat out of the kooks and the spsII ?      also anyone with blade runner opinion, pics or anything'
Title: Re: Kookaburra Pads
Post by: Talisman on August 17, 2009, 10:32:54 PM
I would think the RP's by a little bit, GT's are a lot smaller top hat wise.

gt's do sound quite good. Can't decide now. Rp's blade runner sps gt.

i have just used today, in a friendly match, some grizzly sample pads bought off mike, very similar to the gt's - very comfy and good protection but i just hope that they stop squeeking!

yeah definately gonna go for some kooks. saw the newbery's today and wasn't as keen on them, they didn't really feel right. going to look around for a place to try rp's and blade runners... should i wait for next years model? wondered whether it would be worth it?
Title: Re: Kookaburra Pads

depending on how long you want to wait to get the pads you might want to try http://onlinestockist.com/ (http://onlinestockist.com/)
have to wait a while for delivery but they will be the cheapest around, unless you get offered some pads from the kindly members on the forum, i think a few people have the rp's. Talisman has a couple pairs of the rp pads and gloves which i think he was looking to sell. They are good pads and the people i know who own them seem to be very happy with them.

yeah was looking at that onlinestockist to buy and sell to mates to make a bit of dosh! how much are customs charges?? and other hidden charges?

looking for SM LH which are probably the hardest to get out of all types of pads!! which is annoying...
Title: Re: Kookaburra Pads
Post by: SillyShilly on August 18, 2009, 09:42:00 PM
No custom charges that i am aware of - postage for a bat is £11, gets cheaper with the more stuff you buy. Might be worth waiting a month or two and they may be selling off the 2009 stock a bit cheaper.
Title: Re: Kookaburra Pads
Post by: Tom on August 18, 2009, 09:43:10 PM
I doubt they will, a lot of it is ordered in as you order. They hold very little stock. I can also better Online Stockists prices if anyone is desperate.

Title: Re: Kookaburra Pads
Post by: Master-Basterd on August 19, 2009, 01:55:49 PM
I can get you some newbery SPS2 for £70posted.
