Not a fan of the stickers on the bat too be honest - too bulky
-
Stickers are hideous!
-
As a fan of orange, I actually love the stickers, but I don't understand why - as they're keeping the Kaboom - they need another orange branded bat!
-
Thats horrific
-
Branding might not be to everyones taste but it felt lovely in the hands. I will upload the rest of the range after dinner.
-
I guess i am the odd one as i like them stickers :-[
-
The maverick looks really good in the flesh, those pictures dont do it justice in my opinion.
-
Worst name for a bat ever? I thought Strauss was using the Dynadrive
-
We Canadians have something in common Tush ;)
I like the stickers too, in my opinion they look nice
So they will be releasing A61 and e41 in UK too?
Doesn't this seem to be tad similar to e41 ?
It has tempted me :(
-
Any pics of the factory Leo?
-
Yep they will be uploaded in next few weeks so keep checking the blog. Managed to get pictures of the batmakers, their press, tools etc :)
-
Not a fan of the back stickers
-
Really ugly stickers. Looks the designer had run out of ink in the nice coloured pens and was left with only the crap colours!
I wish GN would go really retro and reuse the maroon coloured stickers.
-
I like the orange, just the stickers are not great in my opinion.
-
And this is the range to be released in Australia (if they haven't already been posted elsewhere)

hey tailender when does preseason training start for the white knights
-
Nothing has been posted yet, but the past two seasons we've started the first week of September. Are you in the area?
-
Me and marco started playing with you guys last season.
-
Hahaha, is that you Larry?
-
yeh that's me. who are you tail ender
-
Stu Horton. Played in Cs last year. We played together last season, against Safety Bay I think. We got smashed. The only game I made runs in, incidentally. I'm mates with the two Nathans. We went for a hit the other week and Nathan Thomas said he wished he had your number because you'd definitely be up for a net.
-
me and marco will be going to meulmans for a net and shopping session in the next 2 weeks. All the new season gear should be in by early july. will contact nathan
-
He'll be up for it; loves that place. Wish I had the money for a couple of new things, but gotta cut the spending with the new baby around. Luckily I got new pads and gloves at the beginning of the year!
-
The Dynadrive is back as well :) :) :)

Different bats completely. The Dynadrive is a rehash of the original idea, the E41 Scoop is the E41 with scoops positioned similarly to the Megapower and Sabre.
Additionally, in having conversations with Alex at Lord's, the guys in the UK weren't aware that the E41 Scoop was coming out (while they were redeveloping the Dynadrive separately - my inferrence).
Looking forward to getting my hands on one. Would like to try all four new bats though.
-
Will be releasing pics of the legend stuff later including WK gear. All I can say at the moment is there is new softs and new WK gear.

Likewise - I'ev had a love hate relationship with Grays over teh years - some years their gear looks ace and plays better, others it just looks cheap - this to me is one of the years when they seem to have gotten the range absolutely bang on.

In case I get in trouble i should clarify that the 3 of us in the workshop didn't know about the oz E41 scoop. I'm sure the management and brand managers had discussed the idea.
-
Are there new legend WK gloves?
-
Yes
-
Has anyone got any pics of thw wk gloves please?
-
Dynadrive and scoop for next season please ;)
-
^Its all about e41 and Maverick :)
