The internet has certainly taken away some of the mystery for up coming gear, it's a bit like know what you're getting for xmas.
-
But look what is in it!!!! Fabulousness!
-
Glad i got my Nemesis before it gets dropped. Surprised the Lucky 7 remains, must have been pretty popular.
-
Supernova range looks cool too, like the look of the duffle
-
Shame about the Nemesis my favourite shape better get a couple before its gone.
-
Hopefully Jake can supply some real life pictures via Twitter today.
I have been noticing both cook and Luke Wright been using legends in omega colour scheme
-
The nemesis is a great bat. And the fact billings currently uses one for England I really thought they would keep it in at least one grade.
Powerbow and supernova ranges look a tad cheap on first view. But like not things I'm sure they will grow on me.
-
Supernova is really interesting inclusion. I wonder how it will look in flesh.
-
Too be honest, I'm underwhelmed by the 2016 offerings. Only the Legend pads and gloves appeal to me.
-
I think the new stuff looks great - the GN 500 looks awesome (I like the touch on the front cover to show the heritage.)
The traditional legend/prestige/classic bats appeal and I really like the new Supernova stuff too. Especially the shape of the bat - for what you can see in the pics anyway.
I think this kit will do pretty well.
-

With you on that. Even the GN500 seems tame compared to the scoop and dynadrive. Too many bats with similar profiles for me. I guess in the flesh the differences become apparent.
-
I like the look of the Supernova range but the Powerbow colour scheme is ghastly.
-
Supernova duffel looks good!

-
I dont think the silver scoops look great on the GN500, would much prefer red
-
I think the new duffel looks good, can't wait for a review/first glimpse but I'm more than happy with my Kook Pro Players duffel this year :D
-
Those GN1000 & 500 spikes are ruined by a massive red stripe going down the side of them!!
-
I like the look of the GN500 bat. Baffled as to why this Trego bloke has his own line of bats.
-
I've never seen anyone using a Lucky 7
Guessing they must've sold well in Somerset for it to have been retained.
-
I can't help but laugh at 'stool bat'...

@WalkingWicket37 ive not seen a single one and im only 25 miles from taunton.
im also gutted that the nemesis has gone but then i also prefer the 2014 version with the pink stickers
-
the Supernova Duffel looks awesome. Can't wait for a review video review by a forum member or @ItsJustCricket.
-
The supernova duffle just looks like a kook duffle with a wrap around carry handle to.
-
I must be the only person who cant view this link and ive now tried 3 different devices???
-
I love the supernova gloves and classic bat in players range. @Vitas Cricket you will have an order when you can pre order please.
-
there are definitely a couple of bits im wanting.
the supernova duffle looks very much like the kookaburra pro players this year which i love
-
I'm a bit disappointed, nothing I really like the look of apart from the Supernova duffle
-
Does the supernova shape look very much like power spot? Or am I seeing things, also is Powerspot now gone?

@Danny1981 It opened in the browser for me but it doesn't if I download the file and open
The sweet spot on the Powerbow seems higher than the outgoing model and is missing the "bulge" at the bottom. Sad to see Oblivion go, may be because Cook has switched to Omega XRD now.
-
Supernova is growing on me although I'm not a massive fan of all the black in the top decals on either of the new bats. I think they would look better in the current design. GN500 and the Classic collection look instantly great however.
Disappointed to see the changes to the Powerbow decals as I personally loved the Gen X ones. Also the fact that the Fusion will not be in the UK next year is another disappointment as I love the look of it.

I salute you Sir, I'm ever so slightly excited!

Personally I think the powerbow gen x was the best GN bat I've seen, seen to have sold really well, a lot on the club circuit here in Yorkshire.
-
Speaking to Alex at Lord's the other day - he said the new powerbow was his favourite of the range as it is more like the old powerbow shape
-

I may change my mind when I see one in the flesh, but the new stickers are mingin' and put me off the Powerbow :-[
-
Likewise when I saw the catalogue images I was a little underwhelmed, but having seen the actual product, I must say both the Supernova and Powerbow look really good.
Personally I am glad to see the Powerbow going back to yellow as thats what always looked the best and sold well too.
-
Had a chat with Alex about the gn500 at lords. Seems to be a popular choice!

When is this new gear available to customers?
-
Yep - I can;t get past the GN500 either - it looks sexy and it excites me!
-
I really like the look of a couple of bits from the new range.
I'm not decided what I'm likely to buy (if I change my kit again) but the GN500 and the Classic Collection stand out.
I can see myself buying either of those bats (or maybe one of each!) with Prestige softs (or possibly Select softs depending on the quality of them).
And there's a strange appeal to the Lucky7 too...
-
Supernova range looks vile, don't like the stickers round the splice of the new Powerbow. Or the gloves. Garish. Ugh
-
They are still creating an illusion that bats made in India are made in Robertsbridge, are they not?
-
I'm an unashamed GN whore, but I have to say I preferred the Dynadrive and the Xiphos to the GN500.
-
After seeing the Aus versions I was hoping for the Matrix over here,
But I may be looking at the 500 or a players model as I do like the minimul look
-
@Mark28 if you're looking for a Matrix try of all places Sports Direct, I picked up a 350 model for £48 the other day. Tested it in the nets yesterday and it actually seems to go pretty well so far. :D
-
What the hell happened to the Oblivion e41 range?? Not liking any of the new stuff.
-
Im only 19 but I would love them to bring the powerspot back in to the line as missed out when they bought it back a few years back
-

Wasn't that only last/this season?
There's probably a few kicking about if you've got your heart set on one

It just were to find it haha
-
Not impressed even a bit. Those stickers on some look horrible :(
My fav Powerbow range :o WTH did they do with it >:(
-
Totally agree with you. They made the Powerbow range into an entry level range.
-
Does anyone know where to get the Supernova Test gloves?

They will be available for late November delivery. We can take a pre order from you if you like.

How much do we reckon the GN500 will retail for? Must admit I am tempted by that as I can no longer find a decent Powerspot reissue for the collection. I ummed and ahhed for ages over getting one but could never find one which didn't have the stickers peeling off the back. All Rounder had a couple in stock from what I can recall but they had been bashed and dented on those racks they have >:(
If anyone knows where I can get one for a decent price please let me know.
There's also this seasons Nemesis which I want as I've spotted it for sub £100 online at the moment, although with a max of 4 games left I can't bring myself to get it or can I?.. ;)
-
@Bowlers Name Please I think the GN 500 will be between £200 and £250 (going on the previous vintage re-releases)
And I too would love a power spot, can't even find one on eBay now though... :(

That's what I was thinking. Better start saving now then. Fingers crossed for some kind or pre-order deals.... :D
-
I'm a bit disappointed that the Powerspot has gone.
-
Anyone wanting a pre-order please get in touch.
We are in a frustrating period where anyone who is interested enough in next seasons gear to go looking for it has found the leaked catalogue, but we are not allowed to actively market it yet. I'm happy to discuss pre-order options and pricing via email though.

The black fill on the stickers around the chequer does not look good next to this years bats!
-
I don't like how they've lost the handle from the Gray Nicolls sticker & increased the pt size.
-
But, like the GM branding before them, they will look better on the tv and in the paper
-
But surely even non cricketing fans could tell a GN bat from the boundary, they've been around with the same branding for decades. Totally agree that the new stickers aren't as nice as the older ones
-
I think they went for too many changes all of a sudden. Subtle changes like the font size and the colour of the squares would have been sufficient.
-
As always chaps I would wait to see these in person, I saw the catalogue before seeing the actual samples a while back and wasn't really looking forward to it as much, when I saw the bats for myself I was very impressed
Im still not sure the supernova colours are my cup of tea but they will have great shelf appeal
-

Which is what it's about. I get it, I don't like it.
-
The front sticker is too spartan(y) for me.Agree with others regarding former stickers.
-
like the stickers on F18 but super nova is quite dull to me.
-
Pretty disappointing all round really. I think the legend needs a bit of a spruce up too
-
The more I see this the more I want a GN500!
I love the look of the classic collection too, but I already have 3 GN (sort of) bats so I can't justify another 2 sticks really :-[

you have to justify buying more bats???? :-[
-
Nothing exciting ...F18 is a good bat, I have picked it up and feels good. Rest of the bats have low/mid-low zones and only good for UK conditions.
-

Apparently so, my missus even said that 4 (the ones she knows about...) is too many :-[
-
"No darl, this isn't a new bat. It's just one I refurbed..."
No harm in trying @WalkingWicket37 , unless she's the violent type :D
-

Mid-low sweet spot is good for most of the venues in USA as well as India.
-
Supernova stickers look very interesting to me. I would mind adding it to my collection. I liked the blue + black color combination in Kook Ricochet 2014 models. However the newer ones from Kook have gone away from black. GN SuperNova might just be the one which i was looking for.
After becoming a member of this forum, my bat collection has increased from 2 to 10 :o ... Not sure if i am explain to my wife about adding another bat to the storage !
-

In the USA, on AstroTurf wickets low/mid bats work if you are tall. For a short batsman, low middle bats are useless. On matting pitches, after rain, the ball might stay low but most good grounds have decent bounce. Net/net, low-mid works for tall guys and under certain pitch conditions. GN aren't the most popular bats in the U.S.

There's a new Supernova glove. Omega, Legend and Prestige remain.

James Taylor appears to be wearing the new powerbow gloves this evening. They look a lot better in the flesh.
-
I reckon the supernova range is one of those which you have to have the set or else it looks silly.

If you don't have the full set you'll look silly, and if you do have the full set it'll look grim. Bit of a catch 22 really... :-[

Question for those in the know
Is the Aussie range called the Momentum the same as the supernova range as I prefer the Aussie model
-
I can't load the link - anyone got any pictures?
-
I'm usually GN's biggest fan but that's all horrid, real shame. Too much bat dominated by sticker if you know what I mean - if the stickers were more minimalist, id be tempted by the powerbow
-

The Momentum is exclusive to the Greg Chappell cricket centre in Aus.
-
Hah, I was just watching last night's highlights and saw Billings waving the new Powerbow bat around on the balcony. It was not pleasing to the eye.

How much would one be as in import costs plus the fist of the bat any ideas as I do like the look of it a lot

@Marc28 if you register with them you can view the product details and change currency to GBP. The pound is ridiculously strong against the Aus $ at the moment so there's some good deals on there. Delivery I believe is around the $45 mark and the only other thing to factor in is the potential sting by Customs. I must admit the Fusion and Momentum are teasing me especially with the current exchange rate but think I can hold off for now.... :D

Simon Hughes has one of Billings bats on the 5 highlights, it's a nemesis with the new powerbow stickers on it, agreed that it's not that attractive.

After watching the England ODI and seeing some of the new GN gloves, thye look much better than they do in the catalogue. I think Taylor had the new Powerbow on and Plunkett the supernova

I think the Green on the powerbow gen x was amazing. Would have bought one if I wanted a low middle. Yellow looks a bit over the top for me
