Yh went good picked up a pair of 2014 NB Ck4030 for �47 and they're well stocked with 2015 kit and still have a kit left over from 2014. Some really nice kit there was really tempted to buy some new pads an bat. They had a nice GN Legend a bit too light for me though but forgot to take any pics as I was in an hurry.

Very good customer service very helpful answering any questions I had. Also gave some good advice on kit.

They couldn't be more helpful hopefully they'll help you pick stuff to add to your collection.lol

Has anyone used their spikes in nets after taking the spikes out?

I tried it with my 22yds but found myself to be a bit off balance.

Tried that one in my Asics Gel Gully's or whatever other lacklustre name they have.

Deathtrap.

Went flying a lot. Would not recommend. (That was with the astro blocker things).

What do we think the best spikes are this year?
I'm a really good fielder (if only the other parts of my game were any good...), and have cone to the conclusion that I should invest in gear that will help me field, as opposed to buying a new bat every 2 weeks.

I like the Purple Pumas, and �70 from PDC is a good price.
The new NB CK10 'Minimus'? look promising, as does the Asics Gel Advance 6- all of a similar ilk.

Anyone own these and can give me pointers? Needs to be super light and comfy.

If you have had any achilles problems (like me), I would definitely go for a shoe without a horrible bit of solid plastic at the back of the shoe. I purchased a pair of Gray Nicolls then some Asics and both had this rigid bit of plastic which meant every time I ran, it would dig into my achilles. In the end I purchased a second hand pair of Adidas (off Ebay) which has leather where this offending bit of plastic is on the 2 shoes previously mentioned and subsequently much more comfortable.

Best shoes will depend on fit in my opinion. Tried a lot of trainers and Adidas fits me better, Asics are too wide and Pumas too narrow. So I am assuming spikes will be similar fit hence wanting to try a few in store rather than buy online.

Do you know why the Pumas are called multi purpose ooh and very ott color scheme.
