from wat i have seen is that people really like the classy all white look

Post by: hell4leather cricket on September 26, 2009, 09:15:49 AM
yeah ,we are going to keep the excel range ,just 'tweak' it a bit.Just thinking of doing a more modern/colourful range  to give people the option.

How about pads designed like Kookaburra with the big fat knee roll, also cane rods.
Title: Re: 2010 range
Post by: WALSHY on September 26, 2009, 09:20:08 AM
Also if you had different bits of padding in the pads people could create their own stye of comfort!
Title: Re: 2010 range
Post by: jamespaxton on September 26, 2009, 09:34:37 AM
yeah i like plain simple white pads, with the canes.
Title: Re: 2010 range
Post by: Damo1583 on September 26, 2009, 09:53:53 AM
Plain white stuff mate with a red 666 logo.........definatly the way to go, plus it will highlight you bats........

I like those gloves exect for the finger with all the detail.
Title: Re: 2010 range
Post by: musama91 on September 26, 2009, 09:53:47 PM
Please, no rubbish sausage style fingers. The grip isn't as good as it is with split style

Post by: raymond on September 26, 2009, 10:38:09 PM
Thats a complete load of bull, if you have nothing of value to add then dont post at all. The vast majority of top international players use sausage style gloves.

its a personal opinion just not expressed in the best of ways!

Post by: Apple on September 27, 2009, 07:42:05 AM
im more a fan of split finger, but really like the look of the slaz Micheal Clarke gloves i also really like the feel of Kookabura Ice gloves,

If any are going cheap tell me!

Yes raymond you are right but you fail to understand WHY they use sausage gloves. With split finger gloves, the knuckles rexposed so all batmakers highly recommend that players use sausage style finger so the whole of the finger is protected.

Shut up you moron

no need to be aggressive. daft way of going about things. If you think I am wrong, then write your own counter argument. moron will get you about as far as.... well nowhere really!

Post by: Howzat on September 27, 2009, 06:03:52 PM
Have to agree with Musama, no need to be like that Raymond. Any more and it will be a ban.

Far better to explain why you feel he is wrong.
Title: Re: 2010 range
Post by: raymond on September 27, 2009, 07:08:56 PM
1. There is no difference in the plams between split and sausage gloves so any difference in grip. Its not as if either gloves protection can affect the grip. Its purely a comfort issue.

2. I apologise in the second instance as im sure tendulkar ponting and the like would listen to batmakers over their own preferences, clearly.

3. Split finger gloves do not leave the knuckles exposed as obviouslt then they wouldnt be sold.

4. What are these dizzieing heights i will achieve by not calling you a moron? i am intrigued.

I agree my tone was hasty and unnessecary, but leo how can you threaten to ban me for calling him a moron when hes clearly talking rubbish.

why don't you just explain that in a more productive way and argue your point respectfully and intellectually rather than in the way you did? Save any further issues such as this

go to your local cricket shop. Get the Kooka Kahuna RP gloves (the most expensive gloves in the market) and curls your fingers. Then you will agree with what I have said. I am not here to teach you life lessons but one day you will realise how far just being friendly takes you.
Title: Re: 2010 range
Post by: raymond on September 27, 2009, 07:35:14 PM
Dont try and patronise me, being friendly on a cricket forum is hardly going to change anything about my life. People are only generally friendly when it benefits them in some way.

And about the gloves, i dont believe that iit expose the knuckles whilst holding a bat.
Title: Re: 2010 range
Post by: aidy1098 on September 27, 2009, 07:38:11 PM
i would only think that they wud expose the knuckles if they are too small for u and are streching or straining! as they are designed to have a bit of give! or if u hands are smaller then they wont be exposed at all in my opinion
Title: Re: 2010 range
Post by: Johnny on September 27, 2009, 07:42:42 PM
Please, if someone really wants to, go start a thread on the merits of sausage finger versus split. In the mean time, does any body have any further ideas for matt's new range?

I used to have a sweat band that was black, with red and yellow licks of fire on them (very rock!) - I think a similar trim for the 666 range would look good

Title: Re: 2010 range
Post by: Johnny on September 27, 2009, 07:43:14 PM
That's a bit of a rubbish example, but same idea.

Wrist bands on gloves and straps on pads would look cool
Title: Re: 2010 range
Post by: aidy1098 on September 27, 2009, 07:46:28 PM
wud look very cool! but may also give a chepish not classy image that may not appeal to very many just my opinion but i thing it looks quite cool!
Title: Re: 2010 range
Post by: Coach on September 27, 2009, 07:50:44 PM
yeh i think that would fit the name very well
Title: Re: 2010 range
Post by: SillyShilly on September 27, 2009, 07:55:02 PM
You have a very good name with which there is plenty of scope to experiment with the play on words - Hell = Flames, Fire, Devil etc - conversely, you could play with the idea of limited edition angelic/heavenly design to juxtapose the hellish theme. Just an awful idea of mine!
As for softs, if i was in your shoes i would go for something a little bold - Black/Red Panels on parts of the front of the pad - Black and Red Pittards Leather on the palms of gloves. An all silver glove maybe - similar to the popular all white gloves but giving it that unique edge.

i like the angel design wud be so good, or maybe a limited edition angel range aswell as the Hell, Devil etc. theme and have it like white/silver with a hint of yellow as that way can appeal to more people

great idea SillyShilly
Title: Re: 2010 range
Post by: Apple on September 27, 2009, 08:25:15 PM
I like the all red palms or all black palms, i think a all silver or gold glove wud get chris gayle going!
Title: Re: 2010 range
Post by: musama91 on September 27, 2009, 09:31:52 PM
Black or red pittards palms for gloves!!!!
Title: Re: 2010 range
Post by: Coach on September 27, 2009, 10:03:45 PM
Never personally been a fan of coloured palms but i like the sound of white with a touch of silver!
Title: Re: 2010 range
Post by: SillyShilly on September 27, 2009, 10:09:22 PM
Musama - Salix have and will be releasing gloves with coloured palms this year (red and black), the colours shouldnt sound that outlandish. Many other brands use coloured palms and i think that they work well, at least with black palms the gloves dont look so worn so quickly.
Newbery already incorporated silver and white this year with the gt range, and im sure many companies have done so before - but i've yet to see and all silver glove ( cue tom with link!)
Title: Re: 2010 range
Post by: Damo1583 on September 28, 2009, 08:34:49 AM
Salix pod blacks are by far the best glove of 2009.........absolutly stunning! and yes they are pittards leather!
Title: Re: 2010 range
Post by: WALSHY on September 28, 2009, 09:13:00 AM
Would it be possible to get that fire design some how printed into the pittard leather palm?
Title: Re: 2010 range
Post by: Damo1583 on September 28, 2009, 09:35:04 AM
fire designs should go on the wrist bands, also it would be cool if you could get some fire design grips for your bats!
Title: Re: 2010 range
Post by: WALSHY on September 28, 2009, 09:38:02 AM
Now that would be sick!
Title: Re: 2010 range

But I also like my idea of fire palms!

they are the 2008  range, we are  looking at a similiar  colour range to the ones you mentioned.

i think a totally plain white glove would be nice, sausage style, with the flames on the sweatband bit.

Whack some photos up when you do - i think it will be well received! How are the clefts drying out, got any super light ones in there?

Did you ride a moped out there at all? I ended up on the back of one down a street lined with what I assume were prostitues, quite an experience.
