Adidas Bats. Awesome.

 

[Iridium]

When the Adidas bats first came out I thought they looks horrendous. But they've really grown on me.

 

[riz7khan12]

looks like less is more this season, GM and GN bats look pretty basic.

 

[McLOVIN]

And Adidas gloves and pads. Man I miss Adidas 09 pads. 10 and this new ones are ugly. Adidas last gloves were nice too.

 

[AkshayS]

I always loved Adidas stuff, those KP and Ian Bell stuff is just amazing. Those pads, bats and gloves are just amazing, I think I should try to get either pads or gloves from them.
And their bats are just amazing, unique peices and master designs, looks amazing.

GM and GN bats are pretty basic as Riz said.

 

[Zaxotes]

GM is looking somewhat classical, GN is short of designs! Adidas played a Master Stroke again this year, but those adidas pads suck!

 

[AkshayS]

those adidas pads suck!

yeah yeah yeah

Totally right, these pads are surely the worst adidas creations, those 09 pads were way too awesome. Gotta get them.

Come on guys - the GN Legend is a throwback bat. That's the kind of GN logo that the Chappell bros used to have on their bats. It's not cause they've run out of ideas. All their other bats have 'normal' designs.

You just said those adidas pads are "amazing".

Not really a big fan of the Gray Nicolls bat.

 

[angryangy]

The GN Legend is a custom made limited edition series, extending the endorsement service to a lucky few retail customers. This ironically makes it one of the most honest bat labels and yet almost a guarantee that the actual bats won't be the same as what the pros use.

But don't worry about liking the stickers; you probably won't own one.

 

[Zaxotes]

Gray Nicolls have made QUANTUM (used by JP Duminy) and OBLIVION for 2011 adding up with their last year's range (still continuing to 2011 with EVO, POWERBOW, NITRO and KABOOM!). The other two (LEGEND and THE EDGE) were new designs of 2011 range, THE EDGE is somewhat modern and LEGEND is classical, depicting its usage by LEGENDS, being a prototype.

Adidas 2010 Elite Batting Pads, a revolutionary thing. I liked it so much.

 

[McLOVIN]

^^ What?! Really? I thought those were pretty ugly. As I already mentioned earlier, they haven't been able to top their 09 pads. 10-Pro were pretty ugly too. Last year KP, Bell, Salman Butt (out of all people) used one kind, that never made the market yet. But they will arrive at the end of this year, while KP and Bell uses these new 12 onces

I was never able to buy them, as they stopped making em. But I did use these other dude's. I love how it's curved out on the sides, you don't get all tangled up

KP and Bell were using that all year long, up until now. They are the 2nd best looking 1s after 09. I guess they will come out now?

 

[Zaxotes]

the 2010 adidas pro was this, pretty acceptable.

and i called those elite 2010 pads revolutionary because of the unique shape and technology.
