Title: Who's a lucky boy then!
Post by: WalkingWicket37 on April 21, 2015, 09:27:27 PM: It's not me this time! Another forum member joined me in my risky order and got themself a new stick.

It's a TON gutsy, and at £65 it's definiey a low budget bat, not that you'd guess that looking at the quality of the stick!

It comes with a branded bat cover

40mm edges, a lovely full profile and 2lb9 (and 3/8 again for the picky ones)
I haven't measured the spine yet

Also in the package are 3 clear scuff sheets
A pair of SS super test gloves (this is a new pair of mine, they were missing from the order but will follow before the end of the week, the seller dealt with the issue brilliantly)
A pair of SS tournament gloves. These are blue, have a towel backed thumb and offer good protection. I may have to get myself a pair of two in the near future to go with my new Master ;)

The £12 gloves really have tempted me though, not that I need any more pairs :-[

That would be me, couldn't resist the gloves at the prices and when I saw that bat with fuller profile at £65 I was smitten.

Nope, cricmart, the same place as the Master came from.

The carpet is lovely and soft under foot if you don't have shoes on, and the colour scheme is great for hiding muddy paw prints when a certain little one goes out digging! :D

I have no idea mate as I haven't taken them out the packet to check :-[

I've bought Super Test gloves from India in the past which fit me well (like a glove, in fact) but that might just be because I have girly hands!

Post by: Neon Cricket on April 22, 2015, 08:33:54 AM: Have you got a link to their site mate? The only one I can find doesn't seem to work

No idea as I've not taken any out the packet yet! I will probably find out at some point in the next couple of weeks.

Not that I am aware of, I was told that Cricmart are a distributor for SS so I guess that means they get first dibs on the decent willow!

Post by: mo_town on April 22, 2015, 10:03:12 AM: Interesting...do they share actual pictures of the bats?
Title: Re: Who's a lucky boy then!
Post by: WalkingWicket37 on April 22, 2015, 10:13:00 AM: Yes they do, they sent me several pictures and the weights of the various Master 1000s they had in stock and let me chose which one I wanted, and when asked for "Light bats you have in stock" they sent me pictures of the Gutsy.
Title: Re: Who's a lucky boy then!
Post by: Chalkie on April 22, 2015, 10:31:17 AM: Before I bought my Master 7000 from them they sent me pics of several in my weight and a couple from other ranges at similar prices, including a beautiful Maximus but it was just outside of my budget.

Just make sure you bear postage costs in mind - circa £25 for a bat - which is pretty high but that does mean quick delivery which is tracked.
Title: Re: Who's a lucky boy then!
Post by: MrCricket321 on April 22, 2015, 11:01:28 AM: Might consider the SS Master 1000 as a net bat - for 115 inc postage sounds like a steal. Hows the ping on the Master by the way @WalkingWicket37?

I've just tapped up some old balls and she makes a lovely noise, not the tinny sound some new bats make but a nice deep woody sound on hitting the ball.

I then used a mallet and toe is dead (aren't all bats) up to where my thumb is, where the mallet came off right up to where the Master sticker is. This area isn't all middle by any means, but it's certainly a generous sweet spot :D

Post by: MrCricket321 on April 22, 2015, 11:17:34 AM: Thanks for that mate, holy crap i just cant get over those amazing stickers
Title: Re: Who's a lucky boy then!
Post by: SOULMAN1012 on April 27, 2015, 05:14:18 PM: This bundle arrived with me today and first impressions are excellent t especially the tournament gloves for £12. Nothing about them seems cheap although no reinforced finger protection like the super test gloves.

Bat has the duck bill toe and little concaving and although only 2.9 she is a big bat will share more pics when I get the chance.

Thanks to Cam for helping me get hold of this little lot, let's hope now my season is due to start properly this weekend all my SS kit gets me some runs (although got a few pieces of willow in reserve :))

Post by: WalkingWicket37 on April 27, 2015, 05:32:20 PM: Glad your package arrived safely Chris.
Hope the kit serves you well mate
