I have both acquired and parted with plenty of kit over the last few weeks but currently have the opportunity to net and it has given me great chance to actually use my kit most days.
The three of us that share the house leave a kit bag down the ground and manage a grass net regularly - after they have helped on the pitch
The bag contains OLS blank pads, unbranded sausage gloves (from Dan on here I think), the world's smelliest Albion helmet and an RS combo thigh guard
Big son uses a Kook Concept 2.0 sourced from yet another fellow CBF member & the younger one uses a G2 Keeley 074... I have used the opportunity to road test some bats I normally just look at and waft around the sitting room. So I traded in my trusty SS net bat and tried something different.
This has led to some lesser spotted red marks appearing on bats - apparently this happens when you actually use them!!??
First up is Vulcan Merlin Original
I have had my eye on one of these for ages and eventually succumbed to a deal Dean posted on twitter
Weight - 2.9.8
Handle - Oval - not too skinny I only need one thick chevron grip
Edges - 38mm
Spine - 56mm
Swell - High - I discovered way to late in life I hit the ball higher up the bat than I am proud to admit
The finishing is second to none, I love the minimal stickers, I love the lamitoe even more and it's really well balanced with plenty of wood all over... light enough to manoeuvre but big enough to feel really confident with.
Now the good bit - it absolutely pings
I can assure you that this is not because I time the ball like a Bell/Pope hybrid but because it is really well pressed and forgiving with a large sweet spot.
Love the bow in the blade and the option to choose grip and add scuff was a nice touch too
I did think nothing would touch the HitsHard (review to follow) but crickey this is a very good bat
