Hello all,
This post is purely in my personal capacity - nothing to do with IJC or anything of the like.
Just showing off my new Phantom softs I unboxed today! WOW! (Ignore the bat, it's a refurb job Phantom did a while ago, and has appeared on the forum before!)
The gloves are incredible, and I love the extra wide side wings and shorter top hat on the pads. Wowee did this make my weekend start off well!
Enjoy!

I do like the Phantom pads, not many companies have 8 cane pads nowadays and they look classy.
How comes on the colour red ones the inside padding is black an not white like the others, did you request this Chris?
-
I think they look magnificent.
-
@liscon12 Yes - it was something I requested for my coloured kit stuff. I didn't want my maroon trousers to rub off on the white inside and make it look grubby - black will help cover this up!
8 cane is unusual, and another example of Phantom doing something a little different.
Just over the moon with the stuff!

These look very nice indeed, only thing I would change is I'd make the bottom of the middle 3 canes level but that's me being ridiculously picky! Good stuff Chris

they look very nice indeed

Ohhhh I didn't see it on sky news for the new sponsorship deal so you kept that quiet
-
They look terrific bar the quilted top hats, can't give a reason in particular, maybe just looks like a bit of overkill.

Just had a teammate walk into the nets with phantom pads, gloves.. Have to say, looks the part, and he loves it.. He was borderlining paranoia everytime the ball hit the pads though! (Expensive kit, dont want ball marks etc)

Tell him the best way to avoid that is to use the bat ;)

Sorry didnt mean to like this.

Looks Robinson Sports India Make. They resemble a lot.
-
The pads do look absolutely stunning.
-
nice!
-
8 cane is unusual, ....
It may be sacrilege mentioning this brand name on the Forum but haven't Slazenger been doing the 8 cane design on their top & mid-range pads for a long time? Their current designs too seem to be having 8 canes.
-
Look nice, bit late to bring them out! I've already bought 2 sets of unbranded pads and gloves.
-
I know they're at the top end price wise but by Christ they look the part don't they!

They came out in January.

Season starts mid April, would say that's about normally for an English seasons release.
-
These look ok but the Phantom sausage look rather tastier
I wonder if they are like the old H4L/Vulcan gloves with the inserts as they are the best gloves I have used
-
@chrisbd can anyone order coloured pads from Phantom or do you have to be a sponsored player
-
Have you seen the new softs from H4L? They are absolutely stunning and around the same price as these. These look nice too though...
Just stirring you up, Chris! :D
-
Softs look terrific and having seen a pair my mate had purchased I will certainly be purchasing a pair once my pads give in this season
-
Just as I'd nailed down being fake H4L sponsored for next season... I'd completely forgotten about these! Love the quilting on the inside of the top hat. Fake Phantom sponsorship, here I come!

Some would say that was going from a "fake H4L sponsorship" to a "fake H4L, sponsorship" ;)

Oooo...
I guess I could say I'm H4L & Phantom sponsored!
"How much discount do you get?" They will say, "Absoloutly nuffin" I will reply...
-
Haha - they are great pads. Finally back from uni and using them a bit more. I do find the slightly shorter top hat means they "click" less and catch less on the underside of my thigh pads - would be especially important if you use a big thigh pad like some of the gorgeous Stretton offerings seen on here recently!
-
Just stumbled upon this thread - what are they like size wise?! They look beautiful, but I'm rather tall, at 5ft 9. No, that's not a typo - I am a genuine short-(No Swearing Please). Like GN pads as they come up quite small, and currently have a pair of Legends - they're nice, but these just take the crown!
-
Ollie, they aren't huge - I think for 5'9 they would work. I wore GN Legends before these and they don't fit that different IMO
