I have noticed that at least one of the earlier videos of bags weren't done when they were fully loaded, so they don't actually show how big the bag is. So maybe revisiting these bags loaded with kit could be a good idea?

I need to watch more of these videos!

Tend to watch the ones for products i'm considering to buy.

Do you do reviews often?

So price range say of �40 for gloves, showing 3 sets giving information for the consumer to make his mind up

First of all thanks for the video's I think they are great to watch.
What I would love to see is a (yearly) video where the "flagships" are compared.
kahuna, kudos, etc. all together tested on pickup, ping, etc.

Hi Paul

Any chance of a video for the 2014 Newbery test batting gloves?

Cheers

We haven't stocked these yet, hence the lack of a review, but will certainly do one when we get them in later on...

Hello paul.

Current videos, may just be me, but I am finding them hard to watch. The zoom is just going to close to the product. And as such when Chris moves his hands(which he does when he talks) the product moves out of shot instantly, but the camera can't follow.

It is nice to have a zoom on certain parts to show detail, but having products such as pads fully in shot would be much better IMO. Please go easy on the zoom.

I am presuming the new over zoom is down to me saying in a bag vid it showed too much of Chris, this was only due to not being able to see the bag when he was removing things in that one video,
We all like Chris, and are happy to have him in shot for bags gloves and pads. Just needed the product to be in shot with him.
Currently the zoom seems an attempt to remove Chris completely.

Woman everywhere will be so Dissapointed........

Having the weights on the new 5 best bats video would be good

I love the videos but for me it would be something like this.Say for example you are reviewing gray nicolls powerbow have all the bats from the range out but review the 5star fully.Same with oblivion but review the LE.Maverick but review the players etc etc.Say a few words about all the others that are there but as the shapes should all be the same you could just concentrate on one bat per range. Maybe with gloves/pads you could get the full range out.I.e get all the Kookaburra kahunas out from entry level to top end and do a few mins on each one.

For those that order on the net, I reckon it would be great to know where the balance point on a cricket bat is - just like a tennis racquet is described as 6 pts head-light for example.

You could do this by moving a bat on a stick of some sort (eg a stump fastened onto a bench) until it reaches the point where it is balanced on said stick. Then measure where this balance point is relative to the top of the handle (or the toe). That gives viewers an objective reference to how a bat may pick up based on its weight and balance point, to go with your subjective feedback on pickup.

It's probably going to be time consuming but may be beneficial to bat nerds like me who can't come in and physically pick up a bat. But it will also set you apart from others... Just a thought!

i think this would be a brilliant addition to your offering in general, Paul! When I ordered my Persona off Marcus at Affinity, he asked me for the balance point of my current Scat (something I had never thought of before). When my Persona arrived, it suited me perfectly! This is probably more useful especially for someone ordering over the net as they can compare the balance points to their existing bat and would help avoid disappointment when their new stick arrives.

I like the idea, but can't quite get my head around it! Can somebody explain more clearly, please, perhaps with a photo of it being done?

It's like trying to balance a spoon (bad example i know) on your you have to hold it nearer the head, that's the concept. The idea is you do it with the bat and find where it lies flat on the balancing pole mark the point of balance and measure how far up the blade it is. The theory is the further up the blade the better the pick up. Then you could compare bats with a similar middle positions and the one with the highest balance point has the best pickup

I love the videos from IJC specially Paul. I think a 8-10 min video for a bat is more than enough and doing a pretty good job.
A video about different type of handles and their impact on bats performance would be nice.....love the top 5 bat videos and always felt they are chosen honestly:)

OwzatOllie · « **Reply #41 on:** October 20, 2014, 08:09:43 PM »

Please could you do a video of the Kookaburra Pro Players Duffle when you get them in? Really want to get a decent look at that bad boy!

Seniorplayer · « **Reply #42 on:** October 20, 2014, 08:25:55 PM »

Enjoy all the videos especially the bat reviews looking foreward to the October 2015 top five senior bats also would like to see a review of 2015 senior bats up to and including 2lb - 8 ounces.

You should also do the top 5 value for money bats as well...
