I used the word make in the loosest sense as I presume its all imported stuff (happy to be proved wrong tho)

I get Wisden from my local massif Tesco store but all other Cricket magazines I need to go to WH Smiths.  Mind you when I am there it takes me about an hour to find the randomly placed cricket section that they seem to move every month.

This month it was between body building and Steam trains?!?!

Didn't have any in their factory store just ibats and the bats previous to them, infact my mate picked up a gold hard drive 14 grains and a strip of heartwood for £60 a real bargain.

I have a Gold Hard Drive with 8 grains. Love it :)

Do the ibats look better in the flesh or not? They dont look to appealing online and in other pics.

Have you got any pics mate?

Post by: Colesy on February 14, 2010, 05:07:27 PM
Lol I do but it is being sanded soon and it will look a lot better then so I will put more recent pics up then. (It is stickerless due to a check for damage on the handle.)

iBat looks awful IMO

Post by: quick-keep on February 14, 2010, 05:10:11 PM
Alright mate, are you going to get new stickers for it?(glowworm lol) Have you seen any ibats in the flesh, a 10 year old at my club had a bottom range one and it looked (No Swearing Please)
Title: Re: Woodworm GloWorm
Post by: Colesy on February 14, 2010, 05:12:57 PM
Probably not, can't be bothered to go through the hassell of finding some and paying lol. A friend of mine has a decent iBat but it looks bad, the face is a s**t quality (stiff plastic which snaps - litterally) handle is far too thin, middle isn't great. I think they're shifting clefts again. :(

Woodworm took a turn for the worse when they underwent new onwnership by the sound of it!

Title: Re: Woodworm GloWorm
Post by: Colesy on February 14, 2010, 05:24:52 PM
Lol got some sunglasses off them, they don't seem to be bad for the price. It's a plus :P

Haha, the only difference in the lids is the ear pad colours.

Oh, another friend of mine (I make it sound like I have a lot :P) has this helmet, from what I can remember it's quite comfortable. It is not down from £100 though.
Title: Re: Woodworm GloWorm
Post by: quick-keep on February 14, 2010, 05:33:54 PM
Yeah, i quite like the lids. Bit heavy though, they say the pads are down from £250 lol

Didn't think much of their ibats in the flesh, IMO the older bats looked better shaped with more wood for the weight and although they didn't have many my mate got a G1 bat fir £60 compared to the £200 for the same ibat grade willow!

I bought some of their skins 2 for £20 and they are pretty good.

Interesting enough when we where there they had about 6 CA bats out, but not really on display after we looked at them they got taken away! Is that who is making woodworms bats then?

just on the subject of flourescent yellow, the new kook blade softs are absolutely vile, saw them in the flesh yesterday and they are way too bright. such a dissapointment after last years blade stuff (especially the aussie versions)

They look like they're trying to recreate the look of the Torch, I just think these stickers are nasty compared to the older ones
