Black_Hawk Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Yes, Mooney's is self customized. It has a grilled back portion compared to the plastic honeycomb finish on the StemGuard. More details about Mooney's helmet (which he calls 'Gorget') was actually thought upon and made by him and his Father-in-law are here: Mooney, an opening bowler who averages almost 25 with the bat in one-day internationals, had been thinking of how to improve helmets before Hughes's death after seeing his cousin struck by the ball in a league game in Ireland last summer. "I'm an electrician by trade and I knew there was something to be done," said the 33-year-old. "I put my mind to it with my father-in-law and, with a few coat hangers and a bit of discussion, we came up with a prototype. "We then went to a local steel fabricator and he made it for us." "You don't notice that it's on," said the left-handed batsman. "The weight it adds is minimal and there's no impingement on any shot you play. "We thought about playing cricket in hot temperatures, so felt that a grille - rather than extra plastic - would be better. "We have it designed so it can fit on to pretty much every helmet that's on the market, with the exception of those that have a fixed grille." The name 'Gorget' - taken from the part of a suit of armour that protects the neck and throat - has been trademarked, but a patent cannot be granted because of the simplicity of the design. Only Mooney is allowed to wear it at the moment because he does not have an official safety certificate. When that is granted, he is looking to market his product. "First and foremost, I hope it protects me, but if it becomes a success then that would be great," he said. "I'd love for a big company to jump on board if they were interested, but we can do it ourselves too." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Hawk Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 The Ranji Trophy cup which was presented to the Karnataka team looked so majestic... reminded me almost of the Prudential World Cup trophy which India won in 1983. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Yeah Mooney one is better and looks like it offers better protection. Seems more natural because it looks like extension of front grill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
