Stickers look very garish in my opinion though.

Post by: The Cricket Boutique on June 23, 2016, 07:44:33 AM: @Northern monkey Their kit is only available in 2 places, their website and another one ;).

The Bats are made by Tom and Jeff and are fully handmade! The R1 Pads are traditional and top level protection (around similar weight to other traditional pads). The R2 pads are not so traditional but are really lightweight and you can hit your leg hard with a bat mallet and would be fine.

R1 gloves are TOP NOTCH! R2 not so good but still ok for the sort of money they are.

I will see if I can find some pics somewhere.

Feel very nice swinging around at the boundary, sound and look nice at the middle. I keep trying to poach one to give a try but they're on to my tricks!

Post by: Northern monkey on June 23, 2016, 12:56:25 PM: Ah thanks guys

Post by: The Cricket Boutique on June 23, 2016, 03:53:28 PM: If anyone is interested in their bats here are a couple of them. Left is a G2 Velocity and Right is a G1 Arc. They also come with a full length padded bat bag/cover.

Title: Re: Reaper cricket
Post by: The Cricket Boutique on June 23, 2016, 03:59:41 PM: @Vitas Cricket I think you are right. They are not too bad but noticeable. I would say the close up photos make it look a little darker than in real life.

Post by: Mpt7 on June 24, 2016, 08:57:24 AM: Had him down our club and knows his stuff and made a bat in front of us

If you're local I don't think you can go wrong with a batmaker you can speak to

The few i picked up swung pretty nicely
Title: Re: Reaper cricket
Post by: The Cricket Boutique on June 24, 2016, 12:00:01 PM: Yea. Both the guys know their stuff and love the game. I do enjoy my chats with them and they are really good to deal with too.
