Root's helmet
« on: January 25, 2016, 12:09:56 AM »
Seems to be switching back and forth...first he had the new Masuri VS, then Shrey, and looks like back to Masuri. He's either gotten Masuri and Shrey in a bidding war over him, or fiddles around with his kit as much as one of us forumites.

Talk is he took a few quid from shrey in the uae as he knew it wouldn't bounce above knee height

Back to a proper helmet for morkel and steyn on quick seamers

I thought masuri didn't pay anyone for the use of their helmets?

That was never said. He wear masuri because he prefers it for quick bowling, but got paid by shrey to use their helmet in uae because of the bounce

But was he wearing the same Masuri stem guard with Shrey helmet ? I didn't even notice he switched helmets between the series.

My question is, how do you adjust to the weight so quickly?

Once you're wearing the lid you don't notice the weight.
Well, I don't in the short amount of time wearing it anyway...  :-[

I was thinking of buying the vision series; does the double grille take getting used to?

Our soon to be launched steel grille model is I believe lighter than the Titanium models offered by other brands.

Would Be useful if people with a Shrey or Masuri Titanium could let me know what they weight?

A suggestion maybe, Root knew the tracks weren't going to bounce much in the UAE as well as the weight difference so in the hotter climate with less chance of getting hit he wanted a helmet that wouldn't weigh him down as much because if the weight was going to be noticeable anywhere it would be somewhere like the UAE?

@Ayrtek I believe the shrey weighs around 780 and the masuri 920 grams. From memory that is

@tom line thanks mate, it's on my to do list to get some figures so we can see where we land in the line up 👍

Just found a bit on info on Shreys website but would be useful to know if these are accurate in line with what customers have.
