Title: New GN Powerbow out for 2012
Post by: niceonechoppy on July 08, 2011, 02:33:29 PM: Despite it being just over half way in the season for most of us amateurs, GN have released the details and images about their new Powerbow model with an apparently new shape and stickers which can be found on:

On the subject, have any of our forum companies got any exclusive projects to be released in time for next years season?

Post by: Stewie-Kidd on July 08, 2011, 02:43:52 PM: I like the stickers, the shape looks exactly the same as the previous powerbow.

Post by: jimba101 on July 08, 2011, 07:31:25 PM: Please correct me if i am totally wrong here. But the whole thing about the quantum was the square toe and they have gone and scrapped it after 6 months?! If i'm honest i quite liked the idea of it, and was impressed with the one i had a go with

Post by: Burdy on July 08, 2011, 09:00:05 PM: Not a lover of the Powerbow stickers, but they are sticks i love. Never liked the scoop, one of our team had one when they first came out when Lara made it famous and i could not get my head round it.

Post by: espocrespo on July 08, 2011, 10:52:29 PM: I'm liking all the new gear
Title: Re: New GN Powerbow out for 2012
Post by: Colesy on July 08, 2011, 11:05:29 PM: Stickers of the Powerbow remind me of the old Adidas Pallara and the new Quantum has a bit of Predator about it.
Title: Re: New GN Powerbow out for 2012
Post by: Stewie-Kidd on July 08, 2011, 11:36:50 PM: quantum looks decent although pretty much exactly the same design.

Lara was second time around. Scoop first came out as the GN100 in the seventies.

Previous Powerbow of 2009 had no concaving and had covex shape while this doesn't
