George,
Great news on all of this - bag, and softs - am saving up/getting b'day present requests in now!
If the coffin is the sort of thing that is going to last, and is fully bespoke in terms of size, then �250 just isn't that much - I totally concur with your thoughts re: garishly coloured mass produced-in-China nylon tat (e.g. Supernova duffle) going for �50 vs something like this.

We do all pay this sort of money for bats that are handmade in England vs Kashmir willow made in India, so why not for bags? I agree with your sentiments of gently challenging our mindsets, and thank you for doing so. Very similar to what you're trying to do with Head Kayse as well. Achieving a paradigm shift is never going to be easy - you must really have been very busy recently, especially considering how many milieus you're working in.

Will be placing an order closer to birthday time. And eagerly await the toe guard in the meantime!
Cheers

I don't doubt the quality of the coffin and it does look superb. I think the video lets it down, as they say it doesn't fit all your kit and costs �250. No mention of the coffin being made to measure.

I think ijc stock an off the shelf one, which as they buy in a few will be made to a size and can be bought there and then.

Go to stretton himself and you can pick and choose what you like. Colour, size etc.

I wanted a stand up style one, but know thinking I want on to put my bat collection in.

Hey guys! Thank you SOO much for your patience, I appreciate its starting to probably look like theres nothing to show!

The reality is something possibly very cool is underway between Stretton Fox and someone else, until everything is sorted I can't let anything out! Talk about a poor answer

One thing I can promise is any news will be said here before anywhere else.

PS tomorrow am at Robert Pack Cricket all day with an awesome group of guys, if anyones local feel free to drop by!

Cheers!

As long as the toe guard is up and running before may, then I'm happy!

1) why the second generation? was there demand for this?
2) if the first one was good enough why make the second?
3) would people prefer more flexible thigh guards?

Cricketfan99 · « **Reply #261 on:** March 23, 2016, 03:46:55 AM »

4) will the more flexible thigh pads compromise on protection ? if not why make the harder ones?
5) for gloves, what will you use the harder or the more flexible type? I'm guessing more flexible type?
6) do the police in their protective kit use the harder type.? as they will find it hard to move about?

7) as for the toe insert, will this go inside the shoe? will i have to get bigger shoes?

will your batting pads be lighter then the morrant (international ) ones? if not i won't be buying them.
9) will you make a thinner layer of protection that people can buy and put in various part of their kit, such as extra layer around the knew area of the pads, keeping inners... or shoe insoles... or goal keeping shorts. or even batting shorts where you have the whole one side of this foam etcs so the whole shorts are the pads...

After my net at Trent Bridge last night I echo this sentiment!!!

I now have a very sore toe!

Hi Cricketfan99, good questions!
1, 2, 3, 4 - This is something completely different, some people will prefer the originals and some will prefer this. It's completely new and not in any way like a regular pad so rather than saying one is better, they will sit parallel.
5 Gloves, again, something different here as well, more outside the box!
6 The original protection was a variant and not quite to this spec, there were additional elements included but I can't say )
7 Toe inserts are not too thick so you should be ok
8 batting pads will be very light but Morrant do a different (and very good) job with their single piece moulds.
9 protective sheeting, yes, tbc )

Hope this helps, I still can't give much more info for now but will be able soon!

pushing it close for the start of the season George

PS - How did the Headkayse kickstarter go??

@StrettonFox Sports, it's getting very close to the season, I really would like to see the new gear before the start, it would be nice to be able to choose my new bits with yours in the mix also.

Thanks.

Hi everyone, a quick update.

I've been restricted to what I can say at this stage but some information can be mentioned as it influences SS16. This is the first platform where this info is being mentioned.

Stretton Fox is currently in discussions with another cricket brand regarding collaborations of current and new technologies moving forward into 2017, the immediate result is all developments under Stretton Fox have been and are currently on hold until this is fully confirmed. I can't say who and any more details other than if everything goes well 2017 will see more kit innovation than I personally think has happened in over 30 years.

How this effects the current situation is 2016 will not see Stretton Fox soft goods.

The batting pad images were actually (I think most people guessed anyway!) a bit of a spoof to get people talking) there is an amount of truth in the technology as we are looking outside the box a bit, but the actual pads are very different. A few people have seen the real designs but otherwise this is, as the above on hold.

To the very patient and kind players who have kept in close touch waiting for a landing date I can only apologise. It does mean 2016 will not have all the stated kit, but honestly, if all goes to plan you'll forget that in about 2secs after seeing whats hopefully in store!

Feel free to drop me emails george@strettonfoxsports.com

Thanks again!
George
