Title: Gray Nicolls Maverick 4 Star.
Post by: cheese on December 16, 2012, 07:56:36 PM
So for Christmas my dad said he'd let me pick out a new bat.
As the family was ill we took a trip up to Taunton to get out of the house and we decided to go to SCS. The selection of bats there weren't great but I found a Dynadrive and my Maverick. The Dynadrive was beautiful in terms of pick up and weight and I would have taken it without even looking at any of the other bats but the stickers we poorly applied, the two scoops on the back weren't of even length and it looked awful. The Maverick on the other hand is brilliant all round.
It weighs 2.10 and feels around the same weight of my quantum which it 2.9 so the pick up is great. The face isn't full of grains, only 4 but they are reasonably straight and the face has only one small blemish.
Edges are 35mm which is fine for me and the ping is great.
I may put a review up on YouTube on the Forum channel if I get the go ahead from whoever runs it and puts the videos up so any help on that would be great.
Here are the pictures.

Looks beautiful for a 4 grainer!

Still not sure on the maverick stickers, but it does look like you've got yourself a nice little stick there :)

I have bought a Maverick 4star from Asad at Uzi sports, brilliant bat for the money really lie the flat face on Grays this year.

I wasn't sure about flat faces and when speaking to people like Jake from Vitas I stated I didn't like them. But after looking at the Maverick I do quite like them. They are different but I do like them.

Looks a nice bat sure you'll do well with it but....

...do you realise how little an ounce actually is?  Of course a 2-10 will feel like a 2-9!

Don't be ridiculous... I have seen people on here sell bats cause they way 1/2 oz more or less than their "ideal" weight  ;) :D  :D haha
