Title: Guess the bat and grade ?
Post by: spgti on February 05, 2016, 09:13:28 AM: A bit of fun. It is a junior bat but see if you can guess what it is and the grade from the grains.

It is actually a GN SuperNova Academy in size 4. It is the entry level English willow bat rrp £50. Purchased as always from UZI sports.
Asad always amazes me at the quality of his junior bats, you can tell he hand picks them. This is for my youngest son. It also pings very nicely and is very light (compared to other size 4s).
I was just amazed at how good it looks for basically a "first" hardball bat.

Post by: GDP1964 on February 06, 2016, 03:02:14 PM: Looks nice but I do know GN and Kookabura are using a different type of willow in a lot of there lower grade bats not sure of the name I will try find out what it's called

Post by: Vitas Cricket on February 06, 2016, 03:19:27 PM: Generally there are some very good bats to be found in the academy grade (which is english willow sizes 0-4, the 'alternative willow' you are on about gary is on another model, grown in eastern Europe)

Kids will outgrow their bats so quickly anyway, it seems silly to pay English Willie prices when they'll only use the bat for a season anyway... Wait...
Bats only used for a season, that sounds like most of this forum actually, buy G1+++++ low density English willow kids bats and get them started early! ;)
