Newbery SPS?

hawks are cracked up to be pretty good apparently!
Ayrteks look good
Salix, always liked them! (but dont think they fit me overly well as dont do small mens size!)

those would be my 4 choices!

hawk i have treid 2 pairs and both top hats were crooked and slightly large
salix agree there a overpriced pads and gloves as they come

newbery had the old sps 1 the blue backed ones were very good....

as you know me i fussy with the softs...

poorest pads on the market kookaburra poor top hat

knee locator is key to a good fit in my opinion...

looking for maybe 2 traditional and maybe a couple of none.....

last year i tried

chase 175
kookaburra rp
bas bow
bas legend gold
itias exo
puma ballistic aus version
impala
ayrtek modern

Well the ayrtek elite 2011 ones I have would be worth a go mate as trad with knee locator and not heavy

yes i like your your in line tom so are willowwizzard stuff i tried a pad in aus in 08 and they were fine...

Go with ayrteks i have only seen youths version of the pads! but they were nice, i am similar in pickiness with pads and my gt's were perfect fit for me at start of season, little too small now, but moving onto the sps to give them a crack!

They look to be the last ones- think they were 40 before!I have seen them in the flesh, absolutely gorgeous, bt might stop you from diving to avoid a runout,they are that nice!

Never tried them myself (only in the shop) but a few of the lads at my club rave over SF softs. Must admit they do look nice, small top hat and lightweight . . . .
