Bought this the other day for $450.00 NZD which is about £225.00. I think I got a pretty good deal.
I like light bats so at 2.8 it was ideal.
This is my first GN but I have opted to get all new GN kit (Legend pads, E41 1000 gloves). Just needed a change up and a lot of people on here have said that if you look good (well better) then you feel better. So we will see...
the bat is Full size SH and weighs 2.8.
It has 8 straightish grains with a couple that are close together.
It picks up like a dream and as Soulman said in his review it feels a lot lighter than 2.8.
I have tapped it up and it feels really good. The sweet spot is very large and the ball just pings off it effortlessly.
have not used it in a game yet but I am sure it will be fantastic. Also loving the cosmetics of the new range.
Cheers.

I've had more than a passing interest in the A61, but haven't seen one in the flesh or other than the standard promo pics on websites, so it's great to see a real one from different angles.
Looks a really nice bat mate, hope it goes well for you!

Lovely bat you have there. Could you put pictures up of the pads and gloves?

You bought this one? Hmmm ebay?
Yeah I liked it, it was going to be my match bat...then I bought a L&W Signature. Needed the cash.
Hows it going for you?

Awesome pics mate. I love GNs bat and specially their carvings in the sides :) How much does the pads weigh? Looks like it must be a little less.

Dont know what the pads weigh but they are very very light. Much lighter than the Ballistic 6000's I had before these.

nice to here that mate. I m looking for a light weight pad, and was looking between the GN and SS Test Lite ones. The GN looks more attractive.

Nice. These are the Aussie Legends. The Uk ones look different to these ones. Cant go wrong with Legend gear.

It's just sitting in the bat room. I haven't even thought about using it yet. Just got a Unik, Malik LE and Newbery custom as well. I find it hard to focus sometimes. Ha.
