lol i see trying to say they are using impact gel would add weight to the gloves as such as its not a light material...looked at this a while back when doing my dissertation etc so having put in a good years worth of work its obviously a point of interest. Ideally you would want it as the layer that lies next to your figners by which point the cheaper materials ontop would have dampened the impact anyway

By having advanced materials in the gloves it means you can scale back on the thickness of plastizote etc but people then become worried that they might not protect them if looking at a glove with only 1cm of "padding" present between them, the ball and the bat handle

Just a quick question Pete that are Salix soft changing for 2011 or they are the same?

Ayrtek Cricket · « **Reply #377 on:** September 26, 2010, 01:32:03 PM »

i think ul find most companies change their softs on a yearly basis to ensure that whatever was pruchased in 2010 is now "outdated" so people have more incentive to purchase the new kit.

I am not sure if the impact gel was the same or if they had advanced the technology?
And I did ask them about the padding for that precise reason!! I would have expected the gel to be a 'replacement' for the normal padding, or at least so that they could make the gloves less bulky and lighter.....but obviously not! Maybe they just haven't performed enough impact testing with lesser amounts of padding yet?

So Pete, will the Beluga RRP at the same price as the other bats, and different grades?

I.e �300 RRP for FLC?

ill bring our ACIS gloves along when we meet up next and the bat mallet and u can see what u make of them

looks a bit silly when whacking urself over the hand with a mallet but u can inflate them and hit urself and then deflate them and hit urself to physically feel the difference!

Either way looking at �65 for some gloves is pretty expensive!

Hi CD

Didnt really see any gloves and pads from Salix last year.
So I can't be 100% sure. But I am 99% sure there were updates in their softs.
I do rate their softs, and their bats look awesome with the updated profiles, models, and stickers for 2011.
I wonder if I could persuade Andrew to use the new stickers on any refurbs? It's worth sending my Praestantia and Fera in for a refurb if they would use the new stickers!

On the laptop now, the pads look nice but not a fan of the gloves.

May change my opinion when i see them though.

gloves kind of look like the 2011 bulldogs ?

when i had GM Le gloves, they felt really unprotective. I didn't have confidence in them as the padding was quite thin

Ayrtek Cricket · « **Reply #385 on:** September 26, 2010, 01:44:00 PM »

this is a common problem as people associate thickness of padding with protection!

petehosk · « **Reply #386 on:** September 26, 2010, 01:46:52 PM »

The Beluga RRP obviously depends on size and willow.
For SH 167 model of Beluga, RRP is �185. And for the 175 model it's �250
And looks like there is a 10% surcharge is you want a bespoke service - workshop visit, watch it being made to your spec.

thebd11 · « **Reply #387 on:** September 26, 2010, 01:48:43 PM »

Yeh, because the FLC version of any bats is �300 and you can have those made to your specs, so models of bat doesn't really matter I don't think, so it's just the type of stickers really I think. What were the stickers like on the Beluga?

This was on my left hand, normally it wouldn't be a problem but it felt just like padding. With no reinforcement. My puma gloves you can feel the hard stuff on top of the padding

anyone know when all the gear is released onto the web?

Really want to see the puma gear!!
