Advantages: super middle,powerful Disadvantages: too heavy for some
...I've had this cricket bat for over four years now and it's surved me well over the seasons.
I can proudly say that it has no cracks and it's still in good condition, due to the fact that i have oiled it over the cricketing seasons to make it more durable.
The Ihsan Rocky bat is a powerful bat and is also heavy, close to 3lbs, the side of the bat is very thick, which makes it very powerful.
Due to these qualities of the bat the Rocky is hard to control, which is why i put another grip on the bat to try and strike a balance between handle and bat.
Compared to other bats that i have used like the Hunts county Insignia and the Ihsanhi-lux this bat is much heavier than them, but im sure you can get the Ihsan Rocky a bit lighter in some shops, the one i've got is a heavy one.
The Ihsan Rocky is the most powerful bat i have ever used...

Advantages: pick-up, power, distance hitting. Disadvantages: Rare, premiums in UK very high
...This bat has got to be one of the best bats I have ever played with! Of course every bat one buys is different and I would never recommend a bat of any type to another player, as one bat does not suit all, but the bat ihsan sent me all those years ago when this bat was available was outrageously good.
Ihsan bats are made in the sub continent, where a great deal of international players bats are made, so you can be assured that whilst the quality may not be as high as handmade english bats, the price will more than make up for it. So if you could possibly pick one of these up from india or pakistan then the price you pay would be greatly reduced than if you bought it from an english shop who will whack a high premium on these bats.
This bat is the stereotypical sub continent bat with a low middle and a large bowed blade that accentuates...

Gym'll fix it Review ofEsporta Club, Tunbridge Wellsby

Advantages: Light and welcoming to get you motivated Disadvantages: An expensive luxury if you don't attend often!
...children as there is a seperate area in the changing rooms and the cafe. On the other hand, if you have little ones, there's a creche and place to have birthday parties.
Traveling upstairs there there's a new hi-tec spinning area with large plasma screen - looks like torture. The gym has all the normal equipment - bikes, cross trainers, treadmills, weights - no free weights at the moment and that was a stark contrast to my last London gym which had more state of the art free weight equipment. But unlike London I have NEVER had to queue for a piece of equipment and I've used the gym at lots of different times of the day. There are always members of staff around who can help you with advice or a little bit of encouragement for the easily fatigued!
If you're into classes, there are a couple of studios. Yoga is my thing, and in my opinion...

This is the great debut album from the Boston boys. This is great rock n roll music and great set-up. Although there are definitely some weak songs, there are also some very strong ones. I don't think that this album is quite what American Hi-Fi describe more
