So, after much toing and froing as to what range I wanted to use, I went for the Scorch range. I got all the kit through about a week ago, and have been busy knocking the bat in. It feels incredible. and looks great. the gloves are a great fit and very comfortable, however, the pads outclass any I have ever had, every detail has been taken care of. even down to the straps. So now for a bit more detail.
The bat: It weighs 2.10, which is actually 2 ounces heavier than requested. However, Gary rang me before he sent the bat to check I was okay with the weight, I said yes, and I am glad I did. the bat is amazing. It has absolutely no concaving, and is in the Tendulkar shape but with a higher middle (by my request). The handle is probably my favourite part, it is a large oval, and feels great in the hand, however, the best part is the flare at the top of the handle, as it makes the bat pick up excellently. This bat is made from amazing quality willow and the grains run dead straight through the toe, my only slight dislike is the heartwood, as I am not a massive fan, however, it is a tiny insignificant detail, as the bat is amazing.
The softs:
The gloves are lovely and comfortable. They have excellent protection. The palms have softbac reinforcement on high wear areas, and have alot of ventilation. I love the colour scheme and the fingers all have added protection. The Pads are amazing, they are lightweight, and really really protective, the straps are really padded and the colourscheme and design are amazing (IMO) If I had one criticism of the softs, it would be the sizing of the gloves, they come up slightly bigger than my former ayrtek gloves, but it is a minute difference.
once again, thank you very much Gary, and I cannot reccomend B&S enough, great service, great products, and Gary is a great guy.
