Finally getting my kit together properly for the season and making a few decisions on what's going into the match bag for the year. Fair bit of new stuff for this year as lockdown boredom had me feeling a bit spend-y.
BatsBlankBats B4 (Phantom Stickers) - 2lb 8.5oz - Tidied this one up myself after last year, had it for a couple of seasons and still going along nicely despite some questionable running repairs. Handle has been cut down by about 0.75 inches.
Scott Custom G3 - 2lb 9.5oz - Stickered as a G2 and honestly I think a lot of manufacturers would have graded as a G2, lovely bat and only going to get better I reckon. Shorter blade, very slightly longer handle to give an overall approximately harrow length.
JN Garrard G2 - 2lb 10.5oz - Slightly heavier bat, haven't had a chance to use it in anger yet but taps up very nicely.
Softs/ProtectionNeon Pads - Small Mens size, really comfortable, shorter straps which I need with my chicken legs, and loads of really nice touches.
OLS Unbranded gloves - Picked up a couple of pairs a while ago to try and found they're the best fit of any gloves I've tried so far so they've stuck. Not playing at a very high standard I don't really need top protection.
Aero P2 Strippers - Tried P1s but they just felt too bulky, perfect mix between confidence that I'm not going to get a sore one and being able to move easily.
New Balance CK4020s - Heard good things about the NB rubber shoes and was looking for a slightly comfier alternative to my Payntrs, fingers crossed they're as comfy in games and training as they are wearing them in around my flat.
Masuri C-Line Plus - Bit of a rarety, a lightweight helmet that fits on my fat head 😅 very comfy, much more breathable than my old Kookaburra and fits over my glasses easily.
BagSelect Black Label Wheelie - Really nice bag especially for the price I paid. Had asked about one of Select's Black Friday deals on another bag but they told me it didn't have as many padded bat pockets as I wanted. Matt from Select very generously offered to match the sale price on a newer model bag and very pleased with it so far. The cool pocket is a nice touch now that bringing your own tea is the norm. One slight issue is the lack of a separate shoe tunnel/pocket but that's a very minor sticking point as the rest of the bag is excellent.
