Not 100% ready to post all of my kit (still waiting to order my B3, Norfolk butterfly needs new stickers and I have some spikes in the post) but I do have a few bats so photographed them last night.

Newbery GT335 Cadbury - Originally a Salix Falx Grade One. Best performance out of all my bats and my personal favourite. Love the high middle profile and pick up it creates.








Kookaburra Kahuna Pro Players - Picked up off a sponsored Kookaburra player. It is a long blade and is much fuller than off the shelf Kahuna's from the time. Very sweet middle from the small amount of use so far.








Mongoose COR3 Premium - Massive bat thanks to the shorter blade. Very impressed with the performance considering the lack of preparation, lovely long middle. The huge toe means the pick up isn't as light as I would like it but I am going to use this in T20 and LMS games this season.








Norfolk Bats RR Special Edition - I patched this bat back to together after cracking twice through the toe and up the edge. I doubt it has a huge amount of life left in it but its a gorgeous piece of straight grained willow. I will probably use this as a net bat and loan it out to club mates.

I just bought all the pairs available, they were made for one of the Aussies who never made the ashes tour. Best gloves I have worn.

I have 2 pair of the kahuna pro gloves as well but imo the bubble pros are more comfortable

An ex teammate was sponsored by kooks, I think more because he worked at a retailer. He put me in touch with a contact he had

Ooh lucky. I got some CCX Players ones from Lorimers a few years back and love em. Kookaburra softs are easily my favourite and wish I had of bought all the ones they had in hindsight haha.

Shrey is OK did have a vision but this is much lighter
Choice is quality but just won't use it

Got a cheeky pick up from eBay at a lovely GM Six6 original at a bargain price of £195. I'm sure it comes under the bargain spots, but thought it was suitable to add to the kit collection!  ;)

Vitals:

Weight:      2-9.4
Edge:       ~38mm
Spine:      ~56mm
Grains:       9 (one extra on the left edge of the blade in picture)

Picks up super light so its pretty nice, the new grips they are using on the 2016 models are something else as it gives a thicker feel for the bottom hand. All in all quite happy with the purchase, unsure as to whether i should sell it on as it was my main intention similarly to the puma I got but have no idea now i have it in my hands. Just waiting for a few more bits now. It's got a very clear face and back etc so may be comparing to my other bats that should be arriving shortly. Happy viewing  :D

@JG - Good buy. The bat looks fantastic. GM original bats perform really well. Six6 generally feels so light in your hands. Hope you score loads of runs with this one ...
