natural risk of batting. bravo for pushing things to the limits.

I got whacked on the arm from a side arm last week - the feeder was so apologetic - my response - "Don't say sorry i should have hit it"

bowling machines are there to practice things. unfortunately at 99mph your injury risk increases.

pretty sure @StrettonFox Sports must be preparing something for this ;-)

I doubt that.

any reason or just a overall lack of hope?

^ There was talk earlier in the year about other products but nothing has materialized yet or atleast I know of.

It's been said a few times on here from stretton themselves.

Due to being approached by a manufacturer asking them to work with him, all products have been held back until the 2017 season.

new thigh pad sets, box, toe guard. Gloves and pads should be available next year.

Didn't he say the pads were a joke?

Hi everyone, a quick update.

I've been restricted to what I can say at this stage but some information can be mentioned as it influences SS16. This is the first platform where this info is being mentioned.

Stretton Fox is currently in discussions with another cricket brand regarding collaborations of current and new technologies moving forward into 2017, the immediate result is all developments under Stretton Fox have been and are currently on hold until this is fully confirmed. I can't say who and any more details other than if everything goes well 2017 will see more kit innovation than I personally think has happened in over 30 years.

How this effects the current situation is 2016 will not see Stretton Fox soft goods.

The batting pad images were actually (I think most people guessed anyway!) a bit of a spoof to get people talking) there is an amount of truth in the technology as we are looking outside the box a bit, but the actual pads are very different. A few people have seen the real designs but otherwise this is, as the above on hold.

To the very patient and kind players who have kept in close touch waiting for a landing date I can only apologise. It does mean 2016 will not have all the stated kit, but honestly, if all goes to plan you'll forget that in about 2secs after seeing whats hopefully in store!

Feel free to drop me emails george@strettonfoxsports.com

Thanks again!
George

A little too late, but has Stretton Fox released their toe protectors yet? If so, please share the link!

don't think so, 2017 is the year. so wait with baited breath for the newest release from a "well know supplier"
