Ok - many things have deeply aroused me in this and the photo thread. I have questions though -

When is this stuff released to us mere mortals and the prices confirmed?

Paul - will you be stocking the Boom Boom Aggro? - I must have one!

Has anyone got a toe up shot of the new Dynadrive? I am disturbed by people saying it's like a dodgy Luna, and I'd be interested to compare?

Have to say - I luurrrrrrrrveeeeeeeee the Newbery TT softs - anyone know how much they will be, or where they sit in the range?

New Credit Card please!

Bruce the Boomboom arrogance is just wrong... It is wrong with regards to the name and wrong in profile shape

Agreed, their old stuff was junk, but they have tried to be different, some of it works, some doesn't, but at least they look to have put some though into it.

I have to agree, personally though it makes no real odds to the bat but the v1200 is kinda cool.

But the lad that took on the project saw out his vision and executed it well. I was a little disappointed with certainly materials being used when others of a better quality from the same supplier were available but even so... the top to bottom work over of a fading name has done wonders and occupies a few column inches as well as forums.

i wasnt fussed about the v6 and the v16 hate the look of the stickers! but the v1200 was modern and nice blade,

as marcus just said tho not sure the scooping makes any differnce but it looks good! and is something very different!

back in my teenage year slazenger was my fav brand, over the years they have been disappointing me, but nice to see some new stuff!

Different things look nice to different people, otherwise they'd all look the same. Though there are a few companies out there becoming indistinguishable.

other thing on pressing (or lack of it in SS case), was it Salix who said they press the top half of the bat lighter than the bottom?

Dukes, Chase, Salix were all good for different reasons.

I know I was stating my opinion, we'll agree to disagree, as I'm getting texts from Fattus complaining that he loves it.... I dont dislike Boom Boom I just dislike this shape the same way I dont like the GM Zona. I dont dislike GM, I've actually got a GM and Boom Boom BTW :D

I think Simmy or Stewie was having the conversation with Mrs Kimber on the subject.
