After contacting Rob to book an appointment for the Blueroom I have been longing for, I went down to the Pack Cave at 11:00am. Rob was very helpful and told me to pick out as many bats as I wanted and take it from there. I picked out this lovely looking New Wave Elite at 2.9-2.10. I told Rob that I didn't mind how big the edges are if the bat is not concaved too much and I managed to find this beauty. The handle was a bit too round for me so Rob very kindly took the binding off and made it more oval and put the string back on. It was originally in white and blue but he changed it into magenta for me.
The bat itself has got 9 or 10 grains running pretty straight with a touch of heartwood on the left handers outside edge. 30mm edges with no concaving if very little. Tapped it up with a ball and it blew me away. Absolute rocket! The finishing as usual is top drawer and the balance is lovely. All in all very, very happy.
Rob also gave me a fantastic deal on gloves and pads. I got the Bombora gloves in pink. The heritage right handed gloves were sold out until march but these gloves are top notch as well. Pittard palm with V splits on them. Overall very comfortable.
I got the Heritage pads as they offered brilliant protection with cane on all the bolsters. The knee is solid with lovely padding on the inside, meshed and padded straps with leather pull tabs. Really good quality.
Also but a few other things like grips, aero P1s, leggings and inners.
Enjoy the pics!

Lovely gear as always from Rob
Guranteed to be happy with it all fella. I've decided to wait for my softs as I wanted the new Avalanche that are due in in the new year.
Always love a visit to the pack cave. Still trying to sort a date to get a forum meet but he's so busy at the minute it's proving very difficult to sort a date

Blueroom ranges to alter visually and aesthetically wit changes to gloves and pads

Will there be a sausage finger glove coming to the blueroom range? Thinking of getting another pair of gloves

I love, love, love those pink gloves - I shall have to have a look and see what the pads are like.

Had my first net with the new gear. The bat is a gun. Just middles every where. Still probably needs another few nets but it looks a cracker.
Gloves are lovely. First time using pittards and absolutely love them, can't beat them.
Pads are really comfortable and protection is top drawer. Really good stuff.
