Hello TTD!

This is a shameless plug, so if you aren't feeling helpful, please happily skip this thread! 😁

As some of you may remember, I set up a new team playing in the Northampton Premier League last year (Bugbrooke Badgers).

We had our own team kit made up, and this year, I've got a custom engraved bat arriving from the talented @hipnotic

What we'd like to do is get a bit more relatable content on social media (not the very polished, pro level stuff like TTD), but some match clips, equipment reviews and anything else that would be of interest!

Our playing level is "pretty good" - We'd likely be in the top division of most Amateur leagues across the country (maybe excluding the very good countries like China, Germany etc).

But I also think it's a relatable playing level - Especially when filmed (it never looks as good on camera, which shows you just how good the pro's really are!)

In a perfect world, we'd be able to review rubbers/blades at the request of TTD members.... But that would depend on our social following etc.

If you'd like to support in any way, it would be great if you could follow/subscribe to the below social channels.




The season starts in September, so expect content to come from then!

Thanks in advance! 😁

Small world - I just played your teammate Ben in a tournament.
Amazing!

Was that at Gloucester? I think Matt was there as well.

Benji is our least experienced player, but he'll be flying after a few years at the top level!

The last Cooke & Deaton tournament in Grantham. Absolutely, he's bound to improve a lot.

How did you get on?

I was at the course prior to the tournament - have you ever thought of going?

Reached the semi-final of band 2.

As to the training camp, several people mentioned they went to both the camp and the tournament and that they enjoyed the camp quite a bit. Unfortunately, I couldn't make the dates work for me ...

The upcoming camp in Bristol looks very tempting though ...

I know one of the guys that played in the event and he said it was really good. Not sure how well he did mind.

Good result - congratulations.

The camps are very very good - this was my second year at Grantham and I’m booked for next year week 1 - be great to see you there.

Hey everyone!

I’ll likely post the quick and easy clips on IG rather than YT.

I’ve got the first one of the Badger Blade up!

I’m currently playing a summer league match, so will post snippets as I go!

Hey TTD!

Rather than start a new thread about the blade, I'll keep it here.

I've done a couple of videos on the new blade from @hipnotic

First time using it last night (I didn't play that well.... But that's me, not the blade 😅)

Check out the videos below!

Nice blade and review NDH - that BH is looking very strong!

You could call Kreanga to play with the Badgers, and he wouldn't have the best BH on the team 🤣
