Title: GN Powerbow "Grade 4" Beauty
Post by: csnew on April 06, 2014, 08:02:08 PM
Bought this Gray Nicolls Powerbow Strike bat in November, but had asked Asad to hold onto it till last week.

Great service from asad
The Strike range is suppose to be a Grade 4  :D
Weight: 2.12
Edge size: 40mm
Ping is really good like any hand picked bats from Asad.

Grade 4?
I really don't understand grades when a grade 4? Looks as good as that
I'm sure it plays very well, if Asads picked it

Looks lovely but those stickers from GN are getting worse every year (bat the retro/legend range)

Looks good. I bought a 5 star which is way better than the price I paid for it. Next time I'm up near Grays I'm going to get it re labelled as a legend as it's a bit colourful for me

We picked out lots of nice Powerbow strikes like this. I was really impressed with them. For a sub £100 bat there are plenty of worse options!

Unless it is bleached I wonder why it was graded a 4? That's a real stunner and at £80 a wicked bargain!

Should we blame Matthew Hayden?

Well I went for the Strike from Asad but as I've been at work (pah) I can't pick it up from the courier until Monday! I should have just paid you a visit tomorrow Asad and picked it up from you then. After all you're not far down the M4.

Must say I'm impressed with the grains on the photo you kindly took, can't wait to take a look at it in the flesh.

It would have been better for you to visit us but I am confident that you will not be disappointed when you see the bat. we are only 10 mins from J16 M4

why is the anti scuff sheet running the full face of the blade ?

Right, finally picked up the parcel from the couriers depot this morning, Asad wasn't wrong, these GN's are excellent value for money. I can only assume that this one is graded as Grade 4 as there's what looks like a knot under the clear part of the face. Despite it's low middle it picks up well and is surprisingly well balanced. I normally go for a 2.8 but this doesn't feel all that heavier at 2.10.

Can't grumble at £80...super value for money.

Looks a very nice bat but I don't expect anything bar good bats from asad he takes a long time hand picking bats for every budget
