I find it a shame that there seem to be so many fake Adidas bats around.
I had a stunning Incurza Elite that went like a rocket, which I swapped (and regretted it)
But I have only really used the Incurzas and recently purchased another Elite for really decent money, and the knocking in is going beautifully!
I may be wrong, but the impression I get is that consistency may be a problem?
Biggest problem is the sheer number of readily available fake (or genuine; leaked/nicked from factories who knows?!) stickers out there on absolute planks.
The number of bats they are 'making' means by law of averages there will be some good ones.
Their softs are an abomination as far as im concerend. No doubt well made/comfortable, but just look at them! Grim.
Maybe i'm just too much of a purist (he says while representing a brand/club that endorses skin tight pink clothing covered in pink lions....) but i just resent the whole idea of Adidas being involved in cricket.
The shoes and whites are the only things worth having imo.
