That many grains shouldn't be allowed!
The heartwood is where I like it too, I'm just off to "knock in my wood" while i examine the picture more closely...

Gotta be over 20 grains on that bat on the far right!  :o Looking at these stunning NB bats is doing nothing for me trying to resist buying a new bat!

The one on the right is very similar to the SS gladiator I have, although the heartwood is on the right handers outside edge.

If they were made where I presume they were made, then they have got hold of some serious clefts right now!!

They look far too good, Especially when I'm trying to resist purchasing a new bat for the season!

Superb looking bats, although is it just me or does the square sticker on the back at the toe not just make them look a bit naff. Apart from that they look great

Is that not lower down just so that the Red Bull sticker can be pride of place?

That is the most square toe ever...
