May I ask were the white blank sausage splits are from mate?

They were from @DorsetDan when he placed an order for men’s sized unbranded sausage splits and there was minimum order size. These are my final pairs :-(

Very very good indeed.
I’m also a big fan (that’s why he’s got 4 all in different shapes & sizes)
I’ve said it in here before, he presses the bats just so.

Great stuff.

Absolutely. When I got the first bat from him, the first thing I did was drop him a mail to thank him and complement him on his pressing! For an 80 quid bat the look/grains and pressing were very impressive. Probably right up there with GM signatures in terms of value for money. I'd be happy to use them in a match.

What is the Arks bat like? Seen online and not heard anything about them before but intrigued to see if worth getting one :)

I have not use it in anger yet - feels lovely under the mallet and bouncing ball

Indian made & very well finished indeed

Made in Jalandhar - and looking at his softs i would say KG most likely

I have been meaning to do a bit of a review - nice shape, not much concaving at all, oval handle, which surprised me, thick toe and a lot of bat for 2lb 9oz

Also you have BAS, Robinson Sports, RNS Larsons and other manufacturers in Jalandhar. Shrey helmets are also made in Jalandhar if you want to go see them too.

Btw wanted to ask what are the bats like you shared in your kit pic? Never tried SM but well regarded and thought to try at some point.

RNS and RS I've had a look at and even have 2 RNS in my armoury. But the handle on one of them gave away way too early. Thankfully GN put a new one in it.

Give kg a ring before you pop down. I went there without notice and they didn't have any uk sized equipment.. Bas factory was a waste of time, I wouldn't go again myself.

Sorry mate totally didn't read that final sentence of yours.
I've got two RNS. Unik and some Grade 3 model that the guy in the RNS factory outlet had laying around. The Unik is still my favourite bat out of the bunch. Light pickup for a 2.10, feels really comfortable. Pings pretty well too.
SM: That one is pretty fresh and hasn't seen hard ball action yet. I've played some indoor trainings pre lockdown here in Austria. But: The shape and profile of the bat is brilliant. It's got a thinner handle than the RNS Unik, has a slight oval feel to it. Just a tad bit. And it's got a really nice pick up for the shape. I'll try to make a short video of the bat if I get the time during the week and send it to you.

Finally managed to get the kit out to check it over.
Very much the same as last year.

I am not sure what the collective term is for GN kit, but I appear to have a lot of it.

Well look if you are going to be picky, there are 4 really, just the bag only takes two
