Been quite light on the ground in terms of kit watching - team mate has just got a Spartan CG - got a first baller so no idea how it went.

Oppo player two weeks ago had a very nice M&H Amplus and the CK22 softs - sparkly new and pads were squeaking non stop.  Had a guy rip our attack apart this weekend, fully kitted out in Salix gear, until his bat went and he swapped it for an old County - the ball just went further!

I play over at Denby so not far from B3 and looking forward to using the one i got from there next time i play, must be good seeing so many of your bats around the midlands area and also i expect further afield as well

Hi all

Thought I'd start us off this year.

Played against a guy with full neon gear today.
Also saw a Wright cricket bat (but not in use) one of the oppo had.

Where'd you see the Wright Cricket one cam?

Was also a Hythe & Dibden player mate.
Looked a tidy stick, shame I wasn't brave enough to ask if I could wave the blokes wood round

Did he have pads and gloves too, or just the bat?  Got a couple of people using my sticks down that way...

Not sure fella, just saw the bat propped against a table and was drawn to it.

No worries.  Nice to see they're starting to get about!

Played against a guy on Saturday who was using his mates  who is a county professional Hawk XB 500 players bat he hit 6 after 6 he kindly allowed me to have a swing and the ball flew. But what amazed me was that it only had 6 wide straight grains.

For me the only difference grains make is that they make the bat reach its full potential earlier in its life.

My hawk bat will not win any beauty contests and has taken an age to knock in and start to open up but is going to be one hell of a bat, only has 6 grains as well.
