So most of us I would Imagine have by now picked up last seasons bargains or received our new 2017 Kit from pre-orders or what have you and as nets will be starting in a few weeks thought we should have our 2017 kit thread up and running.
I have a few matching kit set up but first off is what I am planning on using in the coming season
Full GM kit
Bats
GM Chrome Signature 2.9 - 9 straight grains with a lovely heartwood strip basically a Octane shape with 39mm edges and little concaving, Thanks to
@Uzi Sports for this bat. It feels a lot softer from the off than previous years GM's. last GM I had was in 2014 and it's certainly better then that one was. Approx 2hrs knocking in so far and impressed
GM six6 808 - bought from Owzat or Lec-Shop via eBay and again this I believe is the 2016 model and it's a very nice bat at 2.9 and really pings this has at the moment got the nod over the Chrome, it's not as pretty but it pings and sounds lovely.
GM 1885 808 - eBay bargain, has been used for seasons according to listing and weight is also 2.9 26mm edges so an old stool profile but will be perfect for early nets and outdoor nets
Softs
GM 808 pads - traditional look and quality guaranteed probably the pad iv seen the most of over the years as quality and price is perfect.
GM 808 gloves - fingers are a little stiff and will take some wearing in but again like the pads decent gloves only downside is no pittard palms but refuse to spend £80 for pittards from GM so maybe if some OLE ever come up for sale on eBay or at a really decent sale price I'll upgrade but reckon these will be fine
GM 909 gloves - eBay bargain RH women's size which was the eBay listing so the word women's probably put a lot off but basically a small men's size. Extra thumb protection these will be net and spares I reckon
Extras
GM original thigh guards not pictured but again another eBay bargain some as P2's basically
England duffle - Iv had this a while I got it through work who sponsored the cricket (NatWest) I'm told it was player issue has 12 on it I didn't think players had squad numbers etc but it's a decent size duffle large main compartment, padded bat sleeve and large outer pocket. Will fit keeping kit and whites with ease.
Helmet - ayrtek standard lid with steel grille in black
