Morrant pads
« on: November 18, 2010, 05:27:07 PM »

Hi was thinking of getting a pair of the Morrant International Ultralite pads (as in link below) and was wondering if anyone had owned a pair or could comment on the quality and protection they offer.

Many Thanks, Michael.

Yeah they are great and they have £10 off at morrants at the moment.
I dont use them in bad weather though cos of the fabric is easy to get dirty and hard to clean

The pads look awesome! Anyone know where I could get a pair in Aus?

Looking at 60 pounds shipping from the UK! Aarghhh!

The great thing in hitting is, not to be half-hearted about it; but when you make up your mind to hit, to do it as if the whole match depended upon that particular stroke.

Hahaha, that comment wasn't helpful at all Canners!

Aus team is getting what it deserves anyway - ignored all the signs of weakening, took great players for granted and assumed they would always have a wealth of talent to choose from. How guys like Stuart Clark and Brad Hodge to name aren't playing... Anyway that is a whole other topic far removed from finding Morrant Pads! :)

do you have a link to the Protos ones?
I am just ware there are a lot of alternative designs about which do not really hit the mark.
The Morrant one, it is hard to describe are almost perfectly ergonomically designed. All the folds and sahoping is in the right place and they feel almost perfect, but because they are injection moudled and are left maluble than normal pads, if this design was not spot on then i think that they would be no where near as effective oras comfortable.
The best thing about the mrrants, other than being feather light and protective is that you dont feel like you are wearing any pads. I strongly doubt cheaper alternatives would. THey would feel like wearing funny looking pads, and certainly not Morrants.
In short, Morrants are different gravy and well worth the investment.
Other makes, for me woudl just feel exactly what they are cheap alternatives.

@MGFisher23, sorry for jacking your thread!

@100 not out, who knows mate, he got injured a while back and has been pretty much overlooked since.

@thedon, the Protoss pads do not look too bad actually, do you have a pair yourself?

@pacman75cricket, I've had a look and the Australian site listed no longer trades they are just an 'information portal' at the moment...!
