Title: New Custom GN
Post by: sammmyt1 on March 01, 2016, 02:09:26 PM
Afternoon!

Recently placed an order with @Vitas Cricket for a Custom Gray Nicolls. Jake was very helpful in working out what realistically you can ask for as a 'custom GN' is a bit vague. I decided upon an e41 shape as I really enjoyed batting with one a couple of seasons ago (low middle sweet spot) and requested to get it with Classic Players stickers which they were happy to do. Been looking forward to seeing it and Jake sent me these yesterday. Weight 2 lb 9!

Looks great. What do these customs set you back if you don't mind me asking?

That's the best players that I've seen so far this year. Went to Barrington Sports a few weeks back and the selection was horrendous and overpriced. I love these players and custom GN sticks and it's good to see there are great ones about!!

It isn't a players. It's a custom. Cleft chosen from the legend bin made into gray nics shape of choice and any stickers you want.

Looks lovely mate, enjoy! Looks slightly different to the typical off the shelf E41s in that swell seems to stretch a bit further, perks of getting special willow! :) Was this one made by Chris King or Alex Hohenkerk?

I am so glad this got bumped, I think this is pretty much the perfect shape for a bat.
