On the back of the monster of a 50+ just spotted the pre-order for Khawaja's Xp 80 monsters

Nice! Wish GN UK would produce some of these oversized megabats in shapes more suited to the English game though.

An ultra scooped out 60mm edge version of the GN100 would suit most players I've seen.
Get the majority of the wood where you hit the ball most ofter so huge edges and no wasted mass in the middle ;)

yes been interesting watching the video channel, see what the boys from GN aus are bringing out, certainly like the look of the XP/80/70

Would love the recently M&H post mentioned on here the other day - comparable to the GN

M&H were always so far ahead of the curve on bat shapes, it's a real shame they've given up doing anything different.
-
I love the smaller option at only 70mm spine :D
-
I was also tempted by the Distinctions!! Think it's a nicer shape than the XP80
-
I had a tempo didn't get on with it.
Love b3s version though.

I've wanted this profile for ages now
-
Beautiful shape too those M&Hs, still roughly the same price as the XP80s.
-

Yeah definitely crazy money at 400 notes though 😳 that said the GNs are what 480 plus shipping and customs!
Think Ryan made a high spine bat a few months ago
-
To be honest, all of these profiles are nothing compared to these:
(http://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/b451/Joshua_Sivier/Mobile%20Uploads/328F2F91-A522-4201-A27B-BE38E2B76600_zps3k5yd3xj.png) (http://s1045.photobucket.com/user/Joshua_Sivier/media/Mobile%20Uploads/328F2F91-A522-4201-A27B-BE38E2B76600_zps3k5yd3xj.png.html)
Tempted to go to B3 or somewhere and get this mapped!! Absolute monsters.
-
I think @smilley792 had a Warner small edge bat mapped that looks almost identical
-
Those edges in the Instagram picture look seriously hefty though, as does the rest of the bat!!
Would need wrists of steel to lift those.

This is the perfect bat profile for the astro pitches I play on!!
4-5 years ago, I started calling custom bat makers about a bat shaped like this and the response: we don't get clefts this big.
I can't wait to get my hands on one (or two :D ) of these bats. I share the pics with the forum when I get one (or two :D ).

Here's the video teaser. For the men out there, they have the XP80...for the scrawny weaklings like myself, there is the XP70

Gambhir is using a GN stickered up as TON. Wonder what would be starting weight of these monsters!

Has he got an orange Reebok logo stuck to his asics shoe?

He's borrowed one of Chris Lynn's big bats

YES! saw these in person when India toured England in 2014! It's the best (worst) bit of keeping the sponsors happy I think you'll ever see!!!
Sod the fact KP is using blank Hawk bats or any number of pros uses falsely stickered bats that's the real injustice! Asics badged as Reeboks :o

They do the XP80 in 2'8
-
I have an xp80 being made. Should get here next week hopefully.

Having picked a few of these up I can't see them that light, may get a rogue but 2-9 to 2-11 will be average I reckon.
-

What sort of weight?
-
As much as I would like to try out the xp80 and some other Aussie gray nics, the side in the exchange rate, combined with shipping and duties is making these somewhat unaproachable.
-
Really? We are selling quite a few especially to the UK with our $$ so weak.
-
The dollar has strengthened in the last couple of weeks. The current price at 1000 aus comes in at 468, after removing the tax (rate 1.92) say 40 for shipping, the vat on entry is 20% plus import duty and handling charges, going to end up around then 600 mark. I had 2 from the stable last autumn when the dollar was weaker and the prices were lower, but for me I would struggle to pay that, stick to the uk and wait for the exchange rate to swing.
Obviously others don't have the same issue and good luck to them you and gn.
-
Wait till we leave the EU and arrange free trade deals with the commonwealth, monster GNs everywhere! ;)

When did they start charging VAT on entry? I know the customs charge can be a bit hit and miss but I was unaware they had start adding tax on.

That's what the "Custom's charge" is I think.
My Aussie import had VAT, a handling fee and an additional Parcel Force "just because we can" fee
