So you went for the AJK in the end then mate, mine is by far the best bat I have owned. The power these things pack is just unreal, only used it in a few net sessions against the slower bowlers but it is a gun.

Thats looks a great profile, i am guessing a high middle - 2'9 lbs your usual weight? nice bit of willow that...

Weight is 2lb9oz with GM control grip and hammer edge.

Middle is mid-low, more mid. Been effortless to find the middle - very happy and high satisfied net sessions so far.

That AJK is lush!

Andrew mentioned these briefly when he rang us to discuss the possibility of us stocking salix in the future.

AJK range is exclusive to barringtons as a 'reward' for barringtons being Salix's best customer, which I think is a really good gesture.

Bat looks a corker mate. Really looking forward to the possibility of salix on my shelves in 2014

I agree. Andrew is a top guy.

Barringtons buy loads from Salix (still have a quite a few left from last year)

Awesome kit Yash. Very nice bat, you have a quality kit

Thanks Rajesh.

Couldn't resist. But go a amazing price from Barringtons as I am one of their big spend customer.

But feel its money well spent.

First time in years, I have felt satisfied with just one bat in my kit.

Also, the Legend pads and gloves are top class. I have always been a Salix & Puma softs, but both were late this year with their soft goods so went for the Legends.

That Ajk looks incredible!!

It had to be, to convince me to part with the kind of money I have paid.

Finally got time to take pics of the kit.

This is my kit for 2013.

The Legend softs are amazing. Better than last year.

The AJK limited edition bat is phenomenal (guess that explains whyI have only 1 bat in my kit)

Can't grumble at that yash lad

[yvk3103]

Can't grumble at that yash lad

I am certainly not

Best kit I have ever owned at the start of the season.

[procricket]

Surprised you did not go with the gn legends thigh pad

[lukemannionzimbabwe]

My recoil 700 I love it, picks up light, pings well, and is an all round great bat if you ask me

I recorded a video of most of these, which was basically me rambling on for 45 mins, smacking bats with a mallet and bouncing a ball on them, and then decided to scrap it as I can't be bothered uploading.

While i was taking pictures of my new bat i thought i'd snap my all of my kit together for this thread....

My kit includes...
2 H4L customs
H4L Limeted Edition Pads
Newbery SPS 1 Gloves
Aero P2 Strippers
Masuri Titanium
Adidas SL 22's



Still have my old GN Quantum kitbag which isnt in the best of condition now so thinking of getting a duffle as i dont carry that much stuff. What duffle would people suggest?

[King pair]

Lovely kit mate, but is it just me that would get very annoyed at having h4l everything and SPS gloves? I know it's a preference thing with everyone but all my kit match I dunno if it's habit or superstition now haha
