The AOC Gear Test 2015
« on: February 12, 2015, 06:11:08 AM »
Well, it's that day of the year again. The AOC Gear test is on at Lord's, and two of my mates are lucky enough to be the gear testers this year!

Wonder who has submitted bats?

Looking forward to hearing about their day with Gooch, Hoggy, Shah and co!

Is this gear review relevant ? I hardly ever hear anything about Woodstock Airstream Platinum (winner 2014 bat).

I've put a couple forward this year - they're literally huge for the weight so we'll see what they make of it (In my bat makers' own words "let me tell you if you get a bad review then the guys reviewing need to sort themselves out! 2 of the biggest bats ive made!")

@tim2000s no pressure on your mates haha

is this the "pay x amount and guarantee yourself a slot in the magazine" test?

depends how you look at it

someone buys the magazine thinking that this bat must be good to get in the magazine and it has a bigger feature than the rest and an interview with the batmaker so must be good ..... yet the only reason is because they paid £1200 to get it in there!

AOC is the free one, The Cricketer is the "pay x amount and get a guaranteed review"


@procricket B3 - surprised B3 haven't sent a few in mate, would've thought some of those crowns you've got would've gone down well!

If we did we wouldn't send a crown as it wouldn't be a true reflection.

Mid range it would have been mate shows a truer reflection.

wish you all the best lads who have sent them down

Do they rate the bat based on grading ?

No - all the bats are stripped of identifying marks and then handed over for use.
