surely, unless you have ripped the pads you can wipe the marks off with a damp cloth?!!

Apolgies for bringing up an old topic but i have a similar problem at the moment, wondering if anyone else has had this problem? Basically the front of my Newbery pads are wearing ridiculously fast. I bought the pads hoping they'd last me a long but they will look crap by the end of the season the way they are going!

To be honest i havent used the pads much, About 6-10 nets and 2 short innings so they shouldnt have worn like this already, unfortunatly as they were bought on ebay it wouldnt be worth speaking to Newbery...

Heres a picture taken a week or so ago:



and heres a few more from today:






I've looked after them well and the insides look and smell new! Anything i can do to prolong the wear? not sure my student loan will stretch to a new pair next season.....

I had that happen to my Kook RP's after 4 nets and GCCC told me that it was general wear and tear.

The seam of the ball hits it and can often rip bits of the fabric off, leaving the scuff marks.

did they do anything? i may email them but i dont really expect them to exchange them or anything as these were bought off a seller on ebay selling off old newbery gear. Although i would expect a set of £100 pads to be more durable.

I think one or two of the marks on the main part of the pads could be this but the bits by the ankle isnt. I cant remember being hit on the pads more than a couple of times either. I could of only worn them for about 2hrs maximum in total.

Right, bought some shoe whitener, it did absolutely jack all! it seemed to soak in... might try some tip-ex?! apart from that i'm not sure

I do have some new pads on the way i fancied trying though so gonna keep the ones i prefer.
