Is the blank one the bat that had New Balance stickers?
If so can we get some post refurb pics please? (Sorry if I missed them in a separate thread)

Also love the look of that Warsop, always wanted to try one out!

Word of warning on those scuff sheets: they may start coming unstuck after a couple of months, or splitting on impact with a ball if you got some out of a dodgy batch.
I experienced it first hand last season 

Edit:
Just seen the post above mine was removed (presumably something to,do,with the stickers?)
I've not totally lost the plot, it was one of the a kangaroo brand scuff sheets, with the honeycomb pattern reinforcement on the edges.

Got a fleet of new sticks to try out

I like the look of the Shark and Nixon bats Kippers. Any chance of a few more pics?

[KIPPERS]

Yep that scuff sheet is absolute rubbish don't buy one. I'm going to take it off again when I can be bothered, It was the only one in the house.

Just ordered a new bat from Affinity to go with my Toro and my son also wants another Affinity Carbine as a spare
Not sure on pads and gloves this year,,,really like the red ink products, and I'm a big fan of Asads, Uzi range of softs

Really need a plain White Adidas short sleeve shirt in large if anyone has one?

And then the money shots. Bats bats bats

Did you get a Polaris?

[Northern monkey]

No,,, it's more of a Carbine profile, but with a bit more meat lower down and a very long middle
The pick up just felt so good,  in fact you've just reminded me, I didn't tell Marcus what stickers!doh!
I'd popped in to pick up my sons carbine after a refurb,(looks as good as new,,which it certainly didn't when I dropped it off)
My son wanted the purple carbine sport stickers on,, think I prefer the originals.

[rich041187]

Probably not the only one to think this...Please can you adopt me??

[JB]

I prefer the original Carbine stickers too, the Ayrtek stickers are very nice. I got those on a custom Marcus made me

[Northern monkey]

Yeah the Ayrtek greens very nice

Hi guys, merry Christmas, I'm relatively new to the forum and as its Christmas and I got some new kit I figured it was the best time to share my kit of the thread! (the kit listed that isn't in the photos is in storage due to moving recently)

I'm quite confused about this F18, gott it from a local retailer (Christmas present), the edge size is 44mm... absolutely no concaving on the bat, and with the weight at 2"8 exactly, I can only imagine its a less dense cleft or there's something about it a bit different, it is simply huge. 8 dead straight grains, for test grade I would usually expect more grains... but the performance is simply incredible.
On the shoulder of the bat there is a J, im used to seeing a stamp on each shoulder, but on this bat there is only one stamp, is this normal? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

My match kit will look like this

F18 bat, oblivion pads, legend or oblivion gloves, adidas spikes, legend helmet

 

[WalkingWicket37]

The F18s in my local shop didn't have a lot of wood up the top or down the bottom which may explain the weight.

I'm not sure on the shape of it though, I'd like to have a hit with one before I make a decision if I like them or not, pick up on them is lovely though
