Title: B&S 2014 UK Launch at Vitas Cricket
Post by: Vitas Cricket on October 28, 2013, 04:07:18 PM: B&S attended our CBF event on 26/10/13 and launched their new 2014 range for the UK.

I love the bat shapes, and those who tried the demo versions out at the CBF event will know just how well they perform.

Post by: SOULMAN1012 on October 28, 2013, 06:10:20 PM: Personally I love the LE softs. The 2 LE bats they had I respectable weights were really concaved which was a massive shame as then rebound on the pictured LE at the start was unreal and the face was a beauty.

The B&S gear was in fact that good in my opinion I ordered the softs plus a supreme stock bat for the same price I was gonna spend on an Oblivion E41. The price for the quality of this gear is amazing. Actually really looking forward to getting mine and trying it out next season and firstly in winter nets in the new year.

What weight is the players B&S LE?

They were 2.13 or 2.14 and big pieces of wood they were as well.

Post by: Vitas Cricket on October 28, 2013, 06:44:30 PM: Yes both ones i have currently are 2'14. Massive but on the heavier end of most peoples preferred range.

When stock arrives, there should be some lighter ones in there, obviously will be slightly smaller, but still very very big compared to most bats.

Title: Re: B&S 2014 UK Launch at Vitas Cricket
Post by: Vitas Cricket on October 28, 2013, 10:42:52 PM: LE softs are essentially the Supremes we stocked this year, with some new colours and minor design tweaks. Incredibly comfortable and classy feel to them, lots of nice leather in the pad, the addition of pittards improve the gloves too. Great value, something so top end from a bigger brand would cost much more.

The scorch softs are lightweight and comfy, I like the colours and the fact that they are a bit jazzier. The modern style pad may appeal to a man of your taste brucie? ;)

Post by: keysersolze on October 28, 2013, 10:43:07 PM: Great value bats for the money compared to the big brands and we have had a couple of B & S bats pop up here in Devon in our indoor league after some guys got back from a Surfing holiday to SA. Have to say great bats very well made and finished though I have to say I like the pads and gloves but I personally prefer the minimalist look.
