Had my kit out this evening so thought i'd throw some photos up. Bit of a Saturday night puzzle at the end too.

Nothing new for the 2017 season unfortunately. Should have some more cash towards the end of the season so i'm eagerly awaiting the EOS sales so i can fulfil my destiny of becoming Kook Surge FKW. For now i'll have to be happy with Puma FKW.



The Kit:

Bats:
Puma EvoSpeed 1SE 2015 - Match Bat
Puma EvoSpeed 4 - Net Bat

Pads:
Puma EvoPower 1SE 2015

Gloves:
Puma EvoSpeed 1SE 2015

Helmet:
Shrey Masterclass Air Steel 2015, With NeckGuard 1.0 - Build quality on mine is excellent. Go figure.

Thigh Pads:
Aero P1 V6.0 Strippers

Boots:
Puma EvoSpeed 2015

Extra:
Millions of Puma Inners (Serious FKW territory)
Aero P1 Arm Guard (Never used, never seen a ball bounce over hip height in Sheffield)
Aero Abdo-Guard, With briefs not pictured
Box of Balls - New Dukes, for when i fancy an evening of swinging. Use a potato for my usual filthy Offies.

Bag:
GM Original Duffle 2016

Now. The Puzzle.

Who makes Puma? I always thought it was FCS. But i rolled down the grip to see if i could find any clues and found this "UK" mark and a stamp on the binding... Any ideas?

[Woodyspin]

The MRF intrigued me more if im honest...

CA and malik gloves are very comfy and CA pads not as comfy as SS though

Thanks matey, the SS was apparently rejected by one of Kings XI punjab player in IPL

Okey dokey - here's mine (and before anyone says it, yes I have more bats than my talent dictates - but hey!! that's why I'm on the forum!!)

You'll have to click on the images to make them bigger I'm afraid!!

First of all the general kit:

Bag:  Faithful Salix Pod- love these, and a really good size bag for the club cricketer

Pads & Gloves:  Blank Bats plain - I cannot tell you how good this stuff is, light, comfortable and flexible

Helmet: Original 'Graham Gooch' Albion retro-lid

Thigh Pads: Strippers - can't get past them, well comfortable





Bats:

Right to left:

GN Nemesis 4* - 2.9lbs and well, well pingy.
Willostix Hurricane - 2.9lbs - boy does this pick-up well!!
Red Ink X2 Custom - 2.9pls - took a while to open up as last years match bat, but really flies now
H4L DVL Hellfire - 2.8lbs - This years match bat, knocked in and ready to go, mallet test would suggest a definate keeper!!!!
Chase Custom - 2,12lbs - LH / Short Blade and just bloody massive, the go-to stick for T20 violence!!!

[Buzz]

I always knew you were the Stig Bruce

[Alvaro]

Glorious grippage

[Bwcc]

How is that h4l a dvl?

[FattusCattus]

It's got a big old chunky knot out of the back and edge which has been filled - otherwise it's in pretty good nick!!
