Pleasure lads, got back at 9:30 so not too bad on the way back.

Some nice new kit out there on the Bat brands front but prices seem to be going through the roof which surprised me a little.

Paul, did you get the chance to see James or Wayne as didnt get the chance to say hello personally :(

By going what Paul said regarding M&H I think they too are going away from that classy look! :(

I don't think their softs were too bad at all. It was the first stand we went to after Tom's so the memory is hazy. Bat's looked decent but not outstanding. reliable is the word.

Yes it was something in the £300+ region rrp for the FLC - buys you some lovely stickers lol

What did you guys make of the new Newbery stuff? I spotted some green trimmed pads next to the bag with the zany decals.

The new salix stickers may not be to some of you guys liking but the bats they had at the show today would more than persuade you to shelling out for one, they were massive for their weight, a 3lb dukes bat was smaller than their lightest bat.

Newbury softs were very good, they have pittards on most of their gloves now.

I took a few pictures with my iPhone which are currently uploading so will post them when they are done!
(except the gray nics ones which I wasn't supposed to take)

When you do see photos remember this. Every brand sticks out there best and lightest cleft on the stand. Indeed one brand hadn't even pressed their bats to make them look bigger. Therefore everything looks big and more often than not the weights are 2'13/14+ judging by the feel of the pickup. Indeed it was difficult to find a average weight bat on many stands. Dukes were almost alone in showing finished bat weights and including a representative range of weights and grades.

An interesting approach by the brands, do they not expect the retailers to actually pick up the bats??

Haha I think I can work that out. Can't say I'm surprised by that now everyone else has caught them up in edge sizes, need any advantage they can get.

Sorry, Tom, I walked onto your stand at 4.30 but everyone had gone and it had been packed up! Tried a couple of other times but you were busy both times! I think the show should've been 2 days long!
