Title: Handpicking Gray Nicolls Monday 16th November
Post by: Vitas Cricket on November 13, 2015, 01:49:37 PM
Just a quick one to say we are off to Robertsbridge on Monday to pick out our 2016 stock.

I haven't run an official pre-order offer as we simply haven't had time to get round to it, and the people who've REALLY wanted to order one in advance have got in touch anyway.

This is a quick note to say if you would like us to pick out a bat to your spec on Monday from a massive selection, please drop me a line via pm, email jake@vitascricket.co.uk or call 01733 201144.

Anyone who orders and pays a deposit by Saturday at 1pm will receive 10% off, send me a message to discuss pricing :)

Whilst we're in a GN thread, you mentioned the other day on here that the Supernova duffle is big enough for a keeper. Have you tried it out, think you had a GN100

A few people have said this. Other than being repalmed recently, mine are still in decent shape, and i play a lot of cricket.

Just been ploughing through the GN bats we hand selected yesterday. There are some lovely bats in our selection. I've spent all day 'tidying' the stock of the multiple brands we have received recently and we are still at this stage.....

I'll get some individual photos of bats posted asap. I do think I've found my next bat though, unless someone buys it this side of Christmas.

@justnotcricket86 GN have not had stock of original Legend WK gloves for a long time and haven't supplied any to a sponsored player recently. So i expect the player probably found an old but unused pair in his loft or something

Looks like it's signed by Alastair Cook, but I could be completely wrong

It is magnificent. 2'9 dead on, stunning, and the grains are just as impressive on the back.

Its the Alastair Cook Test 630, with his lazer engraved signature. Its at the top of the Classic range.

How much is the 360 test bat jake ? Is it made to Alastair Cooks exact specs ?

It isn't, it's available in a range of weights. It is the top bat in the Classic range at £380. We took this particular one as it is a very lightweight example at 2'8 and the performance seems very good, there were some that were better looking AC630's, but nothing as light. Finding bats at lighter weights in general was difficult this year at GN.

Thanks for that, cracking looking bats. Don't think I've ever seen the back of a bat with grains like that on the legend

Ah ok too light and too high in the range for me anyway. So do you have anything around 2lb12oz and mid to low range Jake? Thanks

Still in the Classic range I'm guessing? The Select model is £165 and i have this at 2'11 and a half. Across the wider ranges I'm sure i can find something else, feel free to pm or email me

I completely agree - the best looking bat I've seen in a long time. The whole package is fantastic - the grains, the classic stickers/ stamps. Beautiful. It looks (almost) too good to use.
WOW,

David
