Thanks, hopefully I'll get some chance to use it this year. Some days it feels like an extra limb, other days it feels totally different. Strange.

My kit for this season.

Down to four bats is pretty good going.

Bats
TK stickered blank 2lb 8oz knocking this in, feels really responsive but still denting a bit. Bit of a monster all told.
Salix bespoke Pod stickers 2.10
GM Neon 808 2lb 8/9oz last year's midweek bat
Uzi Black Mamba, weight reduced by John @Red Ink Cricket to 2.9/10 last year's league bat

Unbranded duffle?
They got pittards palms on those lovely gloves Cam?

Just spotted the thread on the softs mate, ignore that question

I think the duffle is Champ made, but honestly have no idea.
I saw a Duck & Run one that was identical the other day, and Grade One cricket sell one the same.

And yes, the gloves have pittards. A full review can be found here:

Are we to expect a review and some close up shots of the 2 neon bats @WalkingWicket37 ?

Looks great, chap. How do you find the neoprene wristband on the Kook Ghosts? I'm undecided on mine, though the standard is high as always from Kook on softs.

honestly...they only just arrived today! they are atleast 5-6 months away from being released in Australia. when i saw the IJC review on them i decided i had to have them...

but i like them! i prefer my gloves to be relatively tight around the wrist and the neoprene certainly allows for that...

only complaint is the T20 pro pads have rubbed and lost color in a couple spots after only one net session...kooka uk deem it to be acceptable given stance/gloves rubbing on them but i cant say ive ever seen the same on the various other navy generic pads players have around my club...
