I suspect I am bucking the trend, but instead of buying new kit (I have got new (to me) spikes, gloves and a bat from eBay), I am actually going back to some of my old kit to start the season. At present, my kit will be 2009 Kookaburra Ice Sub Zero bat, pads and gloves, 2012 players thigh pads, Puma helmet, and Adidas SL22 that I bought on eBay fairly cheaply. My main motivation for going back to the Ice stuff is that I have just repaired the bat, and the first season I had it I had my best season with the bat ever (averaged 75 in u15s for my club with three 50's (85*, 69 and 66*), and averaged 115 in the county cup) and am hoping that I can reach those heights again at long last. My other kit includes a Kookaburra Rogue 850 (I have always bought Kookaburra until last season), a CCX 900, and MSR 'The Class', and a GM Flare Original. All the bats are 2.9lb, except the CCX which is 2.8. I have 2 pairs of GM Original LE batting gloves bought from eBay for a combined �30ish, Rogue 850 gloves, a pair of unbranded gloves, unbranded pads from eBay (I think the seller is on the forum), and plain thigh pads made by Flix, who I think are largely an eBay based seller.
I took pictures of my stuff, but they were too large a file size to upload

For help with pictures refer to this http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=7712.0

Closer view of bats
All the photos were taken on my phone, hence slightly grainy on the close up. The Ice has nine beautiful straight grains, the GM has 8, the Rogue about 12, with three very thin bits of heartwood, the CCX has nine grains and the MSR has eight I think.

In my defense, the forum made me do it.

First attempt in uploading a photo.

Left to Right.

Very cheap Mongoose copy. Just wanted to try the shape and use it as a Skyer.

Very Cheap Kashmir willow V500. 1st net bat.

Very cheap Icon 101 cut to middling bat size. Also known as a plank.

Cheap Slaz. Just wanted to try a long handle.

Lekka Warrior. My net bat bought for 20 quid. Cracked but still going strong. 2lb 10oz. I wonder who made this one?

CA Plus 10000. Current match bat.

Aldred XL. Wasn't too happy with the rebound on this. Contacted Paul. It is an early example, was advised to lean on the (square bottom?) handle and added more width. A lot better now.

Red Ink middling bat made my spec. of 2lb 10 oz with long middle. Great pick-up and ping. Not used in anger yet.

One of the recent offerings from Red Ink John. Seems to be a ST profile. Still knocking it in. Very happy.

Hattori Harrow 2lb 7oz bought direct from Matt in his recent(ish) bat sale.

Affinity Spectre. Ex-Simmy, Ex-Chad bat. Was 2lb 14, reduced by Marcus before my eyes to 2lb 12oz. A thing of beauty (to hold).

Aedos Zeus, 2lb 10oz. Nice to have a spare.

On their way are two recent ebay buys. A damaged Hattori Monster sent to Matt for repair, should arrive soon. A Saf bats Hades, one to keep methinks.

Mo, may I ask what the pads on the left are, and the gloves on the far left?

With today's cancellation, figured I'd join the trend and do the annual pics (crap - I've bought too much stuff for the season bearing in mind my limited ability!)

Bats

bb Oversized Amplus
GN Legend (from the first batch when they were released some 3 years ago I think, has had some repairs to the shoulder by Ryan and a little clean)
Newbery Tour bought recently from Chad
BAS Shadow LE picked up from UZI sports

Do I know you ?

It must really grid your gears that people tire of your methods.
