R7's get my vote
You're talking to a Softs novice here... do you mean Chase or...?
Best two sets of pads I've owned.
Blueroom were a bit stiff to start off with and the Ayrtek are absolute class as well.
Afraid these don’t count as “Traditional” in my opinion. More of a mix/ inbetween.
Traditional would be all cane. Would just about let Legends slide.
Like the SPS:
a member on CIF has a pair of pro SS Test Opener (not available general retail) they are as good as it gets too.
Keen to see pics of these… SS Test Opener (Asian)/ Limited Edition (UK) are available for general retail and are pretty nice. So wondering how these differ?
Keep em coming... I suspect there are fewer and fewer companies producing ‘full cane face’ batting pads?
