Hi guys, what's the difference in weight between the standard and ti version? Just want to know if the ti version is worth the extra cash!
Cheers
-
I've just bought a new Ti masuri (upgrading my steel)
If I'm totally honest, it does not feel massive amounts lighter when on.
Unless you can get a Ti very cheap like I did, I would not say its worth it...
I take it the Ti offers more protection than the steel grill?
-
Ti grille is stronger providing it's made from proper Ti....shell is he same on both models tho
-
Well ti is about £75 and steel is about £45 posted so was gonna go for the ti but unsure.
-
I'd go for a steel personally if ur goin for masuri
-
I'd go for one of your beauties tom but I can't justify £100 for a helmet that I'll only wear occasionally. They're worth every penny thought. Love PW, simmys and waynes though. Very light and comfy!!
Thanks for the advice guys! Much appreciated.
-
Just make sure it fits properly is my advice, if it wobbles about when u run chances are it isn't going to protect you properly if the worst happens and u get hit
-
Will do tom, thanks again for the advice. Btw how much do yours start at? Tried the site the other day but I think its still down.
-
Yeh were changing a few things on it ATM....premier is £89.99 which is still 200% safer than the other brands we tested against.
2nd bit of advice don't set the distance between grill and peak to more than 55mm
-
Not bad considering. Do you take monthly payments? Lol could do with selling my barley used albion test helmet 1st I suppose.
-
Yes but we would need to use the "loansRus" 2084% APR lol for monthly payment plan
-
Hahaha good one :)
-
Tom, what do I get for £90 then?
-
Acis premier in one of the stock colours
-
That's with the pump fit system isn't it? In a matt navy with steel grill?
-
Yes mate, think iv still got a club logo if u play for the same bunch as simmy/Wayne and Liam too I'll include too
-
This is getting beyond a bleeding joke now. First a blue room now a frigging Ayrtek. Am packing in!! Can't have NOWT!!
-
Well I was gonna get a masuri but toms tempting me :d haha I wanna be I wanna be like pidge!!
-
Don't be blaming Tom. We need to sort this out pal, can't deal with all this sheepism I'm attracting lately.
-
At least his will be blue which none of u have yet lol
-
Sorry to tempt you here, but ist's only fair as you have done with the BlueRoom Ryan! Ayrteks are top stuff. Only bad thing about them are the jokes. They offer great protection and eyesight :) And you can't go far wrong at one for £90, it looks better as you aren't spending over £100 for the lid lol. :D
-
I'm sure the remarks about tho looks will become less when 3 county squads, one national side and several England Perf squad players rock out in them this season ;)
-
And me simmy and Ryan :D don't forget Tom, it all starts at grass roots!!
-
You boys are the driving force behind it mate....mc did say on thurs will the Leeds lads be wearing them ??? to which I said yes they are the pioneers of the RAW ;)
In seriousness tho yeah having the club cricketers such as urself using them will increase awareness so people can see just how they work as well as how light they are etc :)
-
Mc called me regarding the RAW ;) told him I was wearing one and once this sunk in he knew it was an easy decision to make haha
Yeah man, will get some right grief from the retards who are out of the loop but when Everyones wearing one it will become the norm again. Shame really because it's nice to stir the pot
-
Yeh rather be the shepherd than the sheep as they say ;)
-
I'm sure the remarks about tho looks will become less when 3 county squads, one national side and several England Perf squad players rock out in them this season ;)
Yeah very fair point...people are getting used to it now anyway, and accept that it is a top quality helmet :) ;)
-
Tom, what's the weight of the steel compared to the masuri lids? How much is it for the ti grill?
-
ACIS Premier is 676g with 2010 Ti grille so steel will make it 750g ....masuri ti was 681g when i weighed one previously
not sure what amasuri with steel grille is ??? not got one at the flat to weigh :( can find out tomorrow though
-
Ok cheers tom. How much extra is it for your ti grill? Think I'm going net with si or pw's next week so I'll make the decision then.
-
£30.00 when bought with a helmet
-
i may be tempted to save some pennys then :-)

Thats amazing! Did u get good feedback from the bears? and can you tell us what other counties will be using them, and will they be using them in coty championship matches too?
Good work!
-
Tom, do you do a matt navy or are they all gloss?
-
Can do Whatevers required
