CA Arm Guard Pro

Advantages: perfect weight balance
Disadvantages: must be knocked in very well.

...of the bat rather than an equal one, this would lead to alot of edges and miss timed shots. if you play enough cricket you know the importance of timing a ball correctley especially on the front foot. i have actually had two of these CA white gold bats, the first one i learnt that because i decided to use it straight out of the box for a match its didnt do me any favours. i was under the impression that it would already be knocked in as i payed £180 for it. as i played without it being knocked in it sent many painful vibrations through my arms whether faceing spin bowling or medium pace. and in its very first game it start to crack and eventually it completely broke in net practice after 1month. i was extremeley unhappy that it had broken and swore not to buy the same one again but when it came down to choosing a new bat i couldnt find...

...My experience of the Coolmax Shinguards is a little different from most people's as I never actually wear them for football because I don't play! Hopefully this review will still be useful though. My job involves moving a lot of heavy equipment, most of which is at shin level, and after painfully gashing my shins for the 1000th time I decided to protect them.

Advantages: Addictive, Fun, Excercise
Disadvantages: Everyboy else wants a go!

Its so addictive, well worth the 15 quid i payed for it from play.com! Strengthens your wrist, and lots of fun. The score system on the Powerball neon pro makes it even more addictive, as you can compete against friends and family.

You don't need to be strong to get a good score with a powerball, its mainly about the technique that you use. When scores of over 10000 are reached and sustained, your whole arm gets stronger. Don't go overboard with it, i used it so much on the first day i got it that when i woke up the next day i could hardly move my arm. The power it has for the size of it is unbelievable...
