Afternoon All,
I've decided to make Dynadrives the core focus for our pre-Christmas (November) Gray-Nicolls order. We have already started to take some pre-orders for them as well.
If anyone is interested in buying a Dynadrive, and wants to secure one for a November delivery, you can pre-order with us, simply by paying a 50% deposit (£80) now, and then the remaining £79.99 when we get them in early November. So, this is a great chance to grab what will surely be the hottest of the hot cakes as soon as they come out! :) It's also a rare opportunity to pay for a cricket bat in two chunks, two months apart.
We are intending to hand pick these Dynadrives from Robertsbridge, too, so I don't mind you being specific in your request ie. not just weight, but also grain number, heartwood etc. In fact, the more information you can provide, the easiest it will be for us to select the most suitable bat for you. Please simply send all this information in a PM.
For various reasons, we need to finalise this Gray-Nicolls order by Friday, so to guarantee your requested Dynadrive in this November drop, please let me know by then. Our next GN order won't be delivered until February.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Cheers,
Paul

Yes, your 10% discount will apply! :) I'd say it's a pretty good use of the code, for all those who have them...
Teasing you how? Also, Uzair, hash tags don't really work on this forum! Someone has been spending far too much time on Twitter... ;)
-
Paul is it an option to just pay the full amount upfront and then just wait for the bat to arrive? you know money gets spent ;)

Haha LOL! Will have to go under serious consideration now :S
Haha it was mere joke, more of poke as you tempt me with impressive impressive deals which one can't let go and TomTek with amazing helmets :(
Hehe

Paul, do you have any more information on the Dynadrive? Ie, flat face? Handle shape? Concaving?
Thanks

Semi-oval handle, can't remember if it's a flat face or not - will check at Lord's next Monday. Double scoop, high spine.
-
Cant you wait till a week tomorrow??? lol
-
Is a Dynadrive concaved? ?? That's an interesting question...
-

As Jason says in the video, a form of "extreme concaving", but yes, Johnny, I wasn't sure how to answer that one!
-
Well since a "concave" is an inward curve or hollowing, the scoop and dynadrive are concaved in every sense of the word.

After watching that video anybody want to buy a custom SAF and Duck & Run centurion 5* .....
Do you do trade in's :D
-
Thanks guys, all I had seen of the Dynadrive was Hildreths at Taunton when I was in the crowd! I just remember the sheer size of the spine
The idea of splitting the cost is very inviting!
-
Seriously want one of these bad boys. Always wanted one when I was a kid and now I can (almost) afford one! :D

yeah that video made me convinced as well, luckily its new bat time for me anyway :D

My duck&run is almost brand new and my SAF is not to much older so there will be no bats for me for a while :(
Wonder if I could sell the two chihuahua's...
-
The only thing id be slightly concerned with is the quality as the majority of scoops i saw were pretty poor however there was the odd gem around.

This will hopefully not be too much of an issue with us hand picking them.
-
if hand picked then surely not an issue at all.

Glad you think so. Yes, I think it's a little unfair to insist on full payment for something that you won't even be able to see until November! But I thought you hated flat faces, Liam?!

Unless Asad beats me to all the gems!! 8)

I do, that's why you don't have my money!

You're well down in the queue. You'll only get the 20th best one they can find ;)
-
Whats the go with getting one sent to ozzie land? I remember reading that GN's policy for UK stores is that they weren't allowed to send abroad/outside the EU....is that accurate? Would love to get a Dynadrive and a Scoop sent down this way

I prefer them medium rare

Easy. Use someone on here who you trust as a front. Paypal them the money and then get them to buy and send the bats to you!
-
Loads, basically I will take all the best [Dynadrives] from the GN stock
Paul, you better get there first!
-
I may just have to arrive half an hour before you, Asad, but we can catch up later that day to compare notes!
Will also be selecting a few mavericks while I'm there, so if anyone is interested in one of those, I'd be happy to do a similar deposit / pre-ordering arrangement. Although, if it's a players or LE, the cost will, of course, be higher...

This is a good idea, and we'd be happy to work on this basis for shipments to Aus, as GN are indeed strict on exporting outside of the EU...
-
Bump on the Dynadrives, and also the Mavericks (same deposit terms will apply!)
Any more takers for either?

This man is on a roll ;)
He'll be Hosk of Canada, I'm sure! :D
-
LE: £400 RRP, IJC: £314.99
Players: £300 RRP, IJC: £239.99
5 Star & Colossus: £225 RRP, IJC: £179.99
4 Star: £175 RRP, IJC: £139.99.
Same 50% deposit and delayed balance until November... Like the Dynadrive, the Maverick won't come in LH / LB.
-
Final call for Dynadrive pre-orders as I really want to get this order out before close of play today.
Remember, £80 deposit now and £80 balance in November, and they'll all be hand picked too...
-
Oh so tempting... But I can't afford it :'(
-
Just placed the order with Gray-Nicolls. There will be more coming around February / March time, but we're done for the November drop.
-
Go on then, how many pre-orders have you taken?
-
Is it November yet??? 8)
-
I have never been so excited about November :o, only if October would get out of the way >:(
-
Go on then, how many pre-orders have you taken?
6 and a half. Will hopefully be 7 tomorrow! All Dynadrives, but we are still ordering some Mavericks as well, and will have 4 additional Dynadrives (on top of what's been pre-ordered)...

Does anybody know what the weight range is on these?

Medium-Heavy. I believe they start at 2.8/2.9 and then go up to 2.12 approx. For safety's sake, we have just offered 2.9-2.11 on our website, as you can see.

Thanks for that, I'm so tempted by these but I normally use a 2.7 so 2.9 may be a little heavy. No idea how they pick up either. Hmmmmmm. tricky.

They pick up beautifully! We are going down to their factory to hand pick, so we should have a lot to choose from, and I think there's a good chance there'll be the odd 2.8 lying around there. Not sure if it's possible to make a Dynadrive any lighter than that though!

I really want a dynadrive but have just started getting on really well with a long blade custome made and dont want to go back to SH...
Do you know what, if any, GN's are available in a long blade?

They only do long handle - would that suit? They do at least one LH across most bats except the Maverick and Dynadrive...

Haven't received any yet, Tushar, actually! Going down on the 26th to hand pick. I wanted it to be earlier but Gray-Nics couldn't do it until w/c 26th. Sorry about the wait!

No worries Paul, would be a nice christmas gift to me from me ;)
-
Yay! The month of Dynadrive is upon us!!!
-
I hope Asad didn't get all the best Dynadrives on his factory visit today!
-
Do I add one, to continue my retro theme with the scoop, decisions ;)

Indeed, the train is booked, and the Gray-Nicolls personnel are expecting me! There will be photos aplenty that evening / the next day too, so look out for those... I look forward to picking out your bat, Tim, and have kept a spreadsheet listing your requirements, along with those of everyone else.

you are my hero!!

Can't wait to hear how they go!

Hand picked all these Dynadrives today, as well as all our other GN bats. I'll try and post some photos, but for now, a few observations:
There were no Dynadrives in 2.8, and it was a struggle finding any in 2.9 as well - we did manage to get them eventually for all those who requested that weight, as well as the 2.10s, but the vast majority of them were 2.11/2.12. Also, as they are the equivalent of 5 Star Willow, and Grade 2, we weren't able to get many with more than 8/9 grains. Some only had 5 or 6. But we took time to pick the cleanest looking, and mallet tested them all to check that the performance was of a decent quality too. I am very happy with the selections that were made, but just wanted to warn everyone in advance: don't expect 12+ grains on your bat!
-
I feel like a child at Christmas!
-
Dynadrives are all in now (at last!) Some have already been emailed about it...
Need to knock in a couple and get some others shipped out this week. If you'd like photos, please PM me.
We also have one other (2lb 9oz) Dynadrive going spare, if anyone's interested? I will post photos of that on here later this evening / tomorrow...

OK, here is the Dynadrive that we have available in stock:

(http://i1146.photobucket.com/albums/o538/ItsJustCricket/DSCN5814.jpg)
It weighs 2lb 9oz exactly (one of very few that we were able to find in Robertsbridge at this weight!) and has six grains with a streak of heartwood on the (right hander's) outside edge.
If anyone wants more details ie. edge size, spine height etc. please PM me and I will respond when I'm back in the shop tomorrow...

-

It's a shame that these stickers on the back of these dynadrives look like a 2 yer old has stuck them on, or are the scoops out as well?
