Unfortunately, after about 10+ games I had to come to the sad conclusion that I didn't get on with mine. I replaced them with some Aero P2's v6, which are great.

Even after moulding them, which made them fit well, I found that they dug into hip when tapping in the stance. It became very annoying and off putting.

My advice... If you can try them before making a purchase.

Mine are awesome. Aero's are not a patch on them.

Bonus is the ball flies off them too so they gain you a few runs as well :)

I've stopped wearing my Aero P2's they are way too bulky when you are running! I'm going without until I can find something more suitable

Maybe if I get a few bruises! Haven't had any yet and been without them for around 8 games, I'll probably get hit loads tomorrow now I've said that!  :-[

Best thing i ever did was throw away my P1's and get a set of bespoke foxes,
Speak to George his service is excellent and he will sort out the best thing for you.
Also consider the level of cricket you play as though. I play high level in Aus and need the protection so was a no brainer to get the Foxes

I never got on with my Strettons and sold them on.  I reverted back to my P1s.  George does give an excellent service though and the quality of the product is exceptional.  They just didn't feel right to me despite lots of moulding, practice sessions and a few matches with them in.
