Been to the show. By consensus:-

Pants - sabre, county
Good - salix, slazenger
Most innovative product - v1200
Worst - sabre stickers, m&h new pads
Best overall bat - chase flc, salix torque
Best keeping gloves - m&h
Worst pr - gray nics for not letting us take pics

Simmy to show pics later....

personally the "cenkos" concept should have been named after John Newbery as it would seem much more fitting. Instead they named it after some investment company, guess that's the way capitalism works. Money talks

Lots of flat face big edges but hats off to dukes for labelling bats with the finished weight including stickers and grip. They also showed an average weight bats, unlike many who had heavy big edge bats.

What was good about the M&H keeping gloves Nick? Or is it best to wait for Simmy?
I saw the pic of the County ones and they looked horrific  :o

I find this odd as most of their gear has been out the longest Ie Maverick, Dynadrive etc.
