Post by: Buzz on June 01, 2011, 12:00:20 PM: It is the same size blade as a harrow so slightly thinner and shorter than a full sized bat, but with a longer handle and at a normal full sized weight, hence why the edges are big.

they are fun to use

has anyone seen anyone using the GN Edge?

Post by: PedalsMcgrew on June 01, 2011, 12:20:40 PM: I have not seen a single GN Edge anywhere other than the Wisden Gear test! Might prove to be a good investment for a collector at this rate!

Post by: psincock on June 01, 2011, 12:34:27 PM: Just done a quick "google" and see a few places have "The Edge" for £99
Title: Re: Black Cat Joker in Sky Mag
Post by: PedalsMcgrew on June 01, 2011, 12:38:37 PM: I just did the same and I found the GN Dual 20/20 bat as well. Can't say I have seen one of them either. Buy one get the other one free? If that was the deal I'd go for it... :D

In all seriousness although I think both of the bats look daft it's good to see a big company trying to innovate. Even though you get the impression they have done it a little half heartedly...

Post by: Wills on June 01, 2011, 12:41:02 PM: I'd go for the bat Morgan's holding ;)

1 inch. Handle 1 inch longer. Overall length = same as a normal Short Handle bat.

Post by: qalib13 on June 01, 2011, 02:02:57 PM: what would be really nice is to have a county player use a joker in the upcoming 20/20!

Any plans to sponsor any pro player, great exposure i'd say and personally i think players would be more inclined to use a joker rather than the goose. I'd pay to watch the joker in all its HD glory, especially someone like napier!

Post by: Colesy on June 01, 2011, 02:05:58 PM: I saw a GN T/20 at a game before, the batsman didn't get in though.

The Edge will never be seen I feel.

Post by: will5210 on June 01, 2011, 02:23:39 PM: I miss my Joker! :(
Title: Re: Black Cat Joker in Sky Mag
Post by: Cover_Drive on June 01, 2011, 02:56:42 PM: I'd go for Joker or MMi3, held the edge at local store and it is garbage

I noticed that the splice is shorter, meaning the handle would be the same size as any other handle.
