Marcy Power 10 Power Rack

Advantages: Good bat
Disadvantages: Durability (lack of)

...I bought this product because of a combination of factors. The willow looked good, the pick up was nice, the weight was right and the price was competitive. The fact that the bat was endorsed by the likes of Michael Atherton could only increase its attractiveness. The bat played very well. It immediately lived upto its name of power spot and soon as I started playing straight drives in the nets. The bat served me very well for a couple of seasons. Several cracks then started to appear but the bat still played fine. Then the bat took one on the toe and a crack appeared write up the middle reducing its power dramatically. I was disappointed that a bat this good should have only lasted me a couple of seasons, especially seen as it was only used at weekends.... Read review

Advantages: Not as expensive as the USA versions
Disadvantages: Too fierce for dry lanes

...Technical Specifications Coverstock: Aggressive Solid Reactive Weight Block: Inverted RAD3 Finish: 1000-grit Smooth Logos: Gyration: 2.52 Differential: 0.055 Durometer: 74-76 Track Flare: 6" plus Length: 5 Backend: 9 The X-Factor V-Power is a limited release overseas version of the X-FActor Triple Xtreme, with a Strong, Solid Reactive, coverstock.

If your lanes are very dry forget this ball as it will start gripping the lane early on and you will miss your target by a fair distance. I have been using this ball at Tolworth for a few sessions now and had a fairly good outcome. The ball seems... Read review

Advantages: Very bright light, long battery life, waterproof, easily detactable
Disadvantages: Only 1 setting - on or off, no function to flash

...This is an amazing light! It may be more expensive than most but there is a reason for that. It is one of the brightest lights you can buy which doesn't run on rechargeable power packs. It uses standard AA batteries. It fixes easily to the handlebar of your bike and the light itself can be quickly put on or off if you leave it parked up. The beam of light is very intense but it also creates a kind of halo around that beam so you get your immediate surroundings lit up, as well as the road ahead. I angle mine up slightly so it shines into the eyes of drivers in oncoming cars. This ensures they see you but it also lights up the road on unlit streets, enough for you to see where you're going. It's so bright, that often oncoming cars flash their headlights, thinking I am a motorbike with my headlights on! It is also fully waterproof... Read review
