Title: Gray Nicolls evo slayer experiment
Post by: procricket on July 07, 2012, 01:50:29 PM

Was in jjb about 2 weeks ago and picked up 2 very cheap evo slayers for about 60 quid

there the horrible ones with the crap coating and grain sheet on.

Me being bored and nothing better to do i stripped the 2 bats and hey presto here are the results

Happy days Dave, looks great. Try n hit the ball on the face of the bat tho, not the side  ;)

Perhaps the 16 grainer was downgraded for another reason? It looks too good to have had a covering fitted to hide the grains.
