last line of the above is what sets a SF product aside from others Dr Foxy and I agree with it 100%

I guess my thoughts here are that you can pick up to of the line pads in the sales every year for around �50. Whilst these cost �30 I just don't see the market, especially when you consider how long pads really last (not in cbf-land).

True, not saying this is a solution, but is a good idea. Whether it is worth it to be done is the question.

Whilst you can get the top pads for 50 perhaps, the lower models are equally as reduced. A pair of Slaz Sports Direct jobbies for 10-15 quid.

i don't see the point, i use Morrant pads and the padding is fine ( got whacked once on my front knee , but afterwards just moved the inner pad higher up and never had a problem since ) ...obviously i use my bat more than my pads but still haven't found a set of pads yet that "don't" work....

Im sure you will sell a few but overall i don't think its a worthwhile investment from your side..

Indeed they are, and if you are playing at a level where you need the additional protection of Foxy inners, are you really going to buy pads for 15 quid?

joeljonno · « **Reply #20 on:** November 24, 2013, 07:43:55 PM »

If they were to work as well as top of the range pads, then yes, I would. If I could get the top of the range protection, without often the weight and bulkiness some pads have, and never have to pay more than 20 quid again, I would snap their hand off.

The Slaz pairI have are as good as some decent pads I have had at 4x the price.

It still comes down to the "if". It is a big ask to find something that could guarantee to be as good, as safe and as light as a top pad by just adding one or two inserts.

30 for a set off SF inner pads isn't bad in my eyes.

Yes you could get a high quality a Set off pads in a sale for 50, but I wouldn't actually expect the SF inner to ever wear out, so can be used again and again.

You can buy 6 set off bottom line pads for �10 in a sale. And put your SF in all. So that's 90quid.

Or 6 sets off top of the line pads for �50 in a sale, which is �300.

A saving off �210 is a a lot for someone that really isn't that well off. Even if it is over 6years.

i think the problem with cheaper pads is not the protection, its the weight..

For someone on a budget, say minimum wage with a family home to run, is weight the top of there priority? Or would protection at an affordable price be higher?

I only have one issue with all this there no need for extra shin protection.

If your buying introduction level pads then i doubt your going to fork out for a inner padding worth more than the pads.

As i said the main issue with pads is under the knee. You can always tell a decent pad with what that area offers..

But what do i know about pads???

Sam · « **Reply #25 on:** November 24, 2013, 07:58:05 PM »

Personally I wouldn't go for it as I've never seen someone be injured in the shin area while batting, but I guess some people may find it more useful than I would

?

But if there was something on the market that turned average pads into the same protection quality, then why would you spend loads more for top pads when you don't need to?

How about something slightly different in that the protection goes on top of the current bolster? It is then secured by a velcro strap or loop underneath the existing bolster, this means that the protection could go higher and protect the knee (the main problem IMO) this would give more protection than the initial idea as the shin protection will have to be quite small to fit under the knee roll. Just a thought, PM me if you need further explanation.

I think your earlier point muses the point though. In real life, not cbf-land, most people don't but new pads every year, indeed, I'm a fully paid up member of cbf-land and I don't do that either.... I paid �45 for a pair of top off the range pads in a sale two years ago and I'll wear them till they wear out. Most cricketers do this rather than new ones every year.

You answered your own question there mate.

Why do most spend money on top pads when they need too??

Most don't mate most do not care mate if it a forum product then it fine but the bigger picture people will not buy into it.

Why do people buy pads is the question

Style?? Brand??? Price??? i suspect protection comes after all them as the average cricketer thinks it a pad it will do it's job.

I mean pads are a subject i like we can talk all day about them the qualities and what not but will it sell pads no.

I think Stretton should bring a pad out a proper Pad or like 123 says a kind of under knee bolster.
