[procricket]

[procricket]

Dave are you sure the person feeding you this info isn't pulling your leg ?

no i know a pair was made up for a sri lankan player last season but i know they are being made up and the cost will be around 130-140...

[Talisman]

I was asked to get 8000 clefts for someone once, then he told me he was making bats for England players, those were easy spots but he is full of it, I hope it is not the same person telling you about the pads. Did you get my email with a link Dave?

[golders]

Do sehwag and tendulkar use the same pads?are they the morrant ones?

Tendulkar uses Morrant, and uses his current pads for 10+ years. Sehwag uses SG Tests in Test matches and Morrants in ODIs

Just to add to the mix, the P2 legs I weighed above are an adult product.  We are launching a new P3 leg this year - picture below:



These new P3 legs weigh in as follows:

XXS (for those beginning with the hard ball) - 275g
XS (10-12 year olds) - 300g
S (12-15 - depending on height) - 320g
P2 M (adult) - 320g

[Colesy]

Philip could you put the weights of all of your pads up please, if that's not a problem.

[Philip@Aero]

Your wish is my command.

Weights of the batting legs are as follows:

- P3 XX-Small (for those beginning with the hard ball) - 275g
- P3 X-Small (10-12 year olds) - 300g
- P3 Small (12-15 - depending on height) - 320g
- P2 Medium (youth/adult) - 320g
- P1 Small (12-15 - depending on height) - 370g
- P1 Medium (youth/adult) - 520g
- P1 Large (6'+ adult) - 550g

Please note that because of the different shaped front and back legs on the P1, the weights for each leg are different.  In order to enable comparison on this forum I have averaged the front and back leg weights.  Those of you that may have seen postings by me on P1 weights in the past will note that the P1 has gone up in weight.  This is because we have put slightly heavier ultra-low rebound foam into the front leg of the white P1 meaning that they are probably the lowest rebounding pad (foam or traditional) on the market.  Coloured P1s are lighter and have a higher rebound based on the feedback we had from people that in limited over cricket they wanted the ball to rebound as far away from them as possible to maximise leg byes.

Weights of the P1 KPR keeping legs are:
- Medium - 235g
- Small - 225g

So the coloured pads ping?

could do with a pair of them! My bat never gets to hit the ball

[Ayrtek Cricket]

minimal bouncebackability

interesting to see that you have integrated mock canes and knee roll into the new pads Philip....was this soemthing you had feedback on from customers? umpires giving LBW as they couldnt judge the height the ball struck without the knee roll etc?

[Philip@Aero]

Nothing to do with umpires - wouldn't want to help them.     I guess I shouldn't say that - my father was a 1st class umpire.

But a more traditional look was definitely something that people were looking for - hence we've reworked the P3.

[Ayrtek Cricket]

yeh its about getting the balance between modern and traditional from the feedback we had on our pads when with CCC, same thing with the lids you'll never keep 100% of the market happy with one single product...would be bloody good if you could though
