Title: Gray Nics 2016
Post by: Vitas Cricket on July 06, 2015, 12:19:46 PM
I've already seen the GN 2016 range, but tomorrow we are attending day one of their official launch to selected retailers at Sandown Races, very excited we are too.

I don't know how much if anything I will be able to reveal to the public just yet, but there are some super products coming in time for Christmas, including the introduction of a retro favourite.... :)

Say the Megapower or the GN500... Please!!!! (Although Retro from that period might include the Elite, Ultimate or Sabre)...

Please be a retro offering with a load of funky scoops out the back!

A retro style bat plus prestige/legend softs would look the muts nuts!

Good shout with the Elite Tim! A 3lb Robin Smith special would sit nicely in the collection!

If it ain't got scoops it ain't gettin bought.

Most of the retailers have already been sent the soft copy of the Catalogue and have been invited to Twickenam to view the range. I will be going with our GN rep on Thursday
Correction, venue is Sandown Racecourse as pointed out Jake

These ranges seem to launch earlier and earlier. Not a fan of their new stickers on their new bat, and the updated Powerbow.

Quite disappointed they haven't got a really innovative bat this year. They usually have a curveball like the Nemesis

Well now I know what the Retro offering is I am very pleased and pretty sure one will be joining me at some point in the future!

looking forward to this. there is always something i end up buying from GN. wouldn't say im loyal to the brand but tend to end up owning a lot of their stuff and liking it
Title: Re: Gray Nics 2016
Post by: WalkingWicket37 on July 06, 2015, 10:02:24 PM
I've always like GN but never properly owned for for reasons even I am not fully aware.

Maybe next year will finally be the year to invest in some off the shelf goodness from them

Keep you eyes on our social media, if we can live tweet anything, we will.

Asad, the launch I am going to tomorrow is at Sandown Racecourse, Twickenham was last year, presumably unavailable this year due to prep for the rugby World Cup.

Loved seeing the range today, greeted with a warm welcome as the first retailer through the door :)

one of the new duffle bags is fantastic, the best duffle I've seen yet.

The nemesis shape remains as a part of one of the bat families.

I know many of you will have seen the leaked catalogue but I am not really allowed to say much officially about the range yet.

That'll be the Supernova duffle then, looks a cracker!

Spent the whole afternoon with the GN boys to go through the range, luckily we were the only retailers so had a good chat with the boys regarding the new range.
I really liked the new bats in the range(GN have come up with a shape which is my favourite and i know quite a few players use that) as well as New bags.

Couple of pics tweeted by Gray Nics and Made by Gray Nics of the new Classic collection. Classic to be used by Cook and GN500 by Bairstow I believe. Seriously love this range already.

Beautiful aren't they? There may be a small classic GN shaped section available in my collection next year... ;)

Jake couldn't see anything resembling the Nemesis - maybe a season too late but Im keen to try one...  Cheers

The new Powerbow range will carry one model called the Powerbow Nemesis, in the Nemesis shape as we know it.

I was pleasantly surprised by the range of price points in the classic range.  A select, a prestige and a players in the full shape and a reasonable price (for a big brand G2) for the GN500.  I can see them being very popular.

That bats the only one that goes above 2.12 to the 3lb region.

Is the nemesis really the only heavy option this year?

I imagine they will keep the 'extreme' range
