Title: Powerbow V oblivion
Post by: Mattycricket123 on August 07, 2012, 04:39:35 PM

Is there much difference between these two models?
Currently I have a 2.10 oblivion 5 star which i feel is slightly to heavy for me and the pick up doesn't help as the middle is low. I am interested in the power bow and would like to know if it has a better pickup and what the differences are between the models

I dont own either. But heard obilivion has better pickup. Best thing would be to go to a store and feel it.

I have had both but I like Powerbow better, not because of the pick-up but because I don't like the concaving on Oblivion...

Recently got one of Starussy's Powerbow and it is a amazing bat. I like it better than any other GN bat in the present range.

I have an oblivion atm and its the best bat I've ever had scoring loads of runs for but now my batting has improved no end i feel i need a bat with a slightly higher middle would the power bow give me this?

It seems that there are two types of Oblivion. The English made and Indian made. One being smaller, has a lower, longer middle and chunky toe as opposed to the other which has bigger edges, bigger spine and slightly higher middle.

Powerbow extreme that I had for a bit had minimal concaving on it. I had a cheap oblivion last year picked up great but just did not feel right in my hand.. here are some pics of the powerbow that i had earlier, have another one on the way but that too is for a friend.. also the pick up was not bad on this bat...
