Is that a trick question? I've just said they're untouched and unopened so I can't comment on comfort.

Just go into a shop, pick out the nicest bats you see for your price range and choose which you like best, simple.
-
Remember this:
'A cricket bat is not a scientific machine, fine-tuned to perfection. It is organic, more work of art than functional tool. So, while the broad characteristics of a range may be similar, each bat will be different. Get to a shop, pick up a load of bats, speak to the experts and find your perfect weapon.'

ok well I'll have to wait till jan to do that.

back on topic, personally I think the Kook gloves are the best on the market, and have been for as long as I can remember (if you like the more traditional sausage glove anyway).
-

yeah ill pm u both with details
-
I could possibly suggest where you could get a pair of brand new RP gloves at a fair price, think £30 is the price but don't bother to contact me unless your 100% buying, I'm aware Tom offered you a pair for £30 which you didn't take up.
-
ok message to everyone will the incurza bat grip be ok with the kook kahuna pittards as i dont want the grip messing up my gloves.
-
oh for crying out loud, will you stop asking questions?
-
LB, yes, the grip will be OK with the gloves, no problem.
Chill out with the questions mate, I know you are new to cricket and mean well, but its clogging up the forum!!!
I just PMed you, if you have any questions, just drop me a PM and I will try and help if you like to get you through your first few weeks as a cricketer.
-
Are the 2010 kahuna 1000 ones out yet?? anyone got them??

Would love to know the same, and if anyone have both sets from last season and the one coming up to compare weights, protection etc.
-
yes i do. To be quite honest they are near identical to the pontings, apart from the graphics are slightyly different and there is a bit more protection on them
-
yeah they look so different i wanna see what they are like.....aswell as protection, weight etc
-
Peplow - http://www.pro4sport.co.uk/cricket/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=400&cat=Batting+Pads (http://www.pro4sport.co.uk/cricket/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=400&cat=Batting+Pads)
get them in SLH
-
can you please post pics mate? that would be great....
-
Thanks pumakid, From the images i have seen of the rps this year they look far more flashy than last years range, when looking at the recent aus wi test i thought all of pontings gear looked superb so why change?!
-
I don't have them myself - over budget for me :P

-
From talking with the guy i bought the pads off, he thought that they changed from Ricky Ponting because he was wanting more money, therefore they changed the name and tried to make them look different with slightly different protection and graphics.
-
no the incurza grip wont - its octopus for about 75% of the length and octopus grip is good but it shreds your gloves, whatever the palms are made from. Just get a ribbed/ringline/spiral/chevron grip.
-
Ok, that sounds reasonable, after all why change the name of something that was selling very well like the rps were! Maybe theyre trying to hide something, like poor quality etc and that ponting maybe wouldnt want his name attached to such products. Only a guess.
-
okay. Il be 5 mins

-
they are exactly the same in terms of the design/dimensions/technology/weight etc. All that has changed is the graphics.
-
Generally thats what the big brands do each year.
-
oh i thought the side wing looked a different shape....and bottom looked smaller.. and generally looked larger...must just be me.
-
If yuo look at the description for the 09 and '10 pads, its the same - fiberglass canes, leather instep etc etc
-
yeah but they do look different imo
