Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know when New Balance will be launching their kit for next season in the UK and what does the range include?
Thanks!
-
I had a Twitter convo with owzat cricket and they said they are expecting it in the new year and they are also not very clear whether they'll be selling the yellow/blue range in the UK either.
Think jake and a few other retailers have already mentioned about the shoes
-
Vitas had two bats in stock yesterday £125 not bad at all concaved profile but tapped up nice
Stickers are ok very bling but struck me as being good value if you like that kind of thing
-
Were they the yellow/blue range?
-
No red dc560 model if I remember
-
we have the following shoes from New Balance

The CK10AB ones look really nice! look a bit too flash though, i'm guessing they are New Balance's competition to the Asics Gel Advance series?
-
I'd spotted those in the big bash, look good to me! No single front spike for marking your guard is a bit of a killer though.
-
Watching David Miller I can't help but think how nice his bat looks.
The stickers look bright, yet the colours work and there's a certain appeal they have.
The real ones (as advertised by New Balance themselves) look like this:

It has however made me realise how bad the fake ones one of my teammates has applied are!
He got a set of these:
(http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb450/CPye061194/BFB80A60-2DF6-49A7-9EBD-A19D26D457ED_zpso11htenn.jpg) (http://s1206.photobucket.com/user/CPye061194/media/BFB80A60-2DF6-49A7-9EBD-A19D26D457ED_zpso11htenn.jpg.html)
Now I've seen them in the flesh they just look fake. They're too dark, not textures as they should be, and in the case of the yellow text they don't look even close to how they should!
I'll try and get a picture at the nets next week, it could be a real life case study on why you don't buy stickers on eBay! ;)
-
Highly likely his bat is simply a stickered bat too though, just genuine stickers

Very true but totally irrelevant lol!
My point was that the fake stickers look very fake and should be avoided...
-
Agreed. Either go with a blank bat or get the genuine article. Fake stickers always stand out like a sore thumb

Not sure I quite agree, my red NB stickers look the real deal
-
This is why you don't buy fake stickers!

They stuck to the bat so well the owner had to tape the bottom one down!

if you are paying a premium just for the stickers then why not get fake ones. 99% of people won't know anyway.
-
Saw a stack of real ones the oother day. The look 4 billion times better than the fakes. And actually have the correct writing on. Lol.
Achieve bat is red!!! Lol

Because these fake ones look absutley gash!
Wrong colour, wrong name and just look awful, I'd rather use a plain bat than put this particular set of fakes on mine...
-
if anyone does find those stickers but real.. shout. I do like them, but I'm not paying a premium for them.
-
I had a birthday recently and my mum got me these via my wife asking me who my favourite current player is
Nice bat maybe a tad heavy at 2-10 but nice and for £99 quid a bargain bat
As for the stickers i think there there some of the best on the market

Photographing your bat on your old Y-Fronts. New trend?
-
I noticed Pro direct cricket are stocking the full NB range and after seeing the quality of the bats Paul from IJC posted on his twitter I am definitely interested in purchasing one and hopefully a blue and yellow one, do any of the forum sponsors know when they will have the bats in?
-
Blue and yellow are exclusive to Barringtons and PDC I think
-
Yep blue and yellow are exclusive to those two retailers until the end of the year. Picked up some of the yellow and blue gloves from Barrington last week, very nice looking and feel very comfortable
-
This just arrived today. Have to say my initial thoughts are that i'm quite impressed. The willow looks decent, huge edges (44mm) for the weight (2lb 9oz) and not hard pressed, in fact it is quite soft if anything. Heavy concaving as you would expect to get that edge size.

was that £99 Maverick?
-

1260 models are £300+
-
No, I wish!!!! I paid less than £300 though
-
Lovely looking willow.£99? Where from?
Bargain!
94 quid from all rounder is the tc560 this or is the top grade and looks import shape might be wrong lovely profile
That is a belter bat I suspect wit the ashes here new balance will be a very busy brand over the summer
-
You're right Dave, I think this is an import shape (based on where I got it from) and the images from other stockists have a different profile like the one you have shown
-
Looking good value for those prices, remind me of the real nice looking Kook bats at a similar price point this time last year.
Paul @ IJC had some i believe, think i saw some pics on FB

Hmmm, that's a tempter!
Or £135 for a blue one from PDC...

Yes there two different vendors used for the Indian market.
Great shape this one mate one of the best shapes I have seen quality bat think my shape one is being phased out
-
so will the 2 vendors be producing 2 different shapes for the same models or will they be producing different models?
-
Very nice looking bat.
Best stickers on the market by a country mile.
