Title: Visiting Gray Nicolls on Thursday 9th Nov
Post by: Uzi Sports on November 07, 2017, 06:59:43 PM
We are visiting Gray Nicolls on Thursday to hand pick our stock order. If any one has any particular request then I can certainly try to find the closest match to your specifications. Plz DM or email me if you need any specific bat from this years range

Regards

Had a very good day at Gray Nicolls HQ to select bats , we took more bats than we actually ordered as there were some beauties we could not keep our hands off, found few nice Legends (original plan was only to take one or two but ended up taking 4). have a look at the New Scoop which we selected, weight is only 2.7

Hopefully the selected bats will be with us next week so will post photos

This scoop looks pretty big for a 2-7! What are the edge specs, etc.?

How much they going for ?

RRP I believe is £1000 but don’t worry PDC have taken 10% off so yours dor just £900 please.

No doubt Asad will be a better price than that but serious money for these top end bats now, prices have gone mental
Title: Re: Visiting Gray Nicolls on Thursday 9th Nov
Post by: manno on November 18, 2017, 12:02:49 AM
So thats $1750 AUD. more than the most expensive aus gn. You could order a custom legend here for about $1000 or a custom legend gold for $1500. Both allowing input into profile shape, weight, appearance etc.

Is that the case with the 1000 pound uk gn or is it an "off the shelf" option only?

Prices in general have gone mental but look at that... a genuine pro bat for less than half of what Gray Nicolls want for a bat that in my opinion doesn’t look great
Worlds gone mad
Title: Re: Visiting Gray Nicolls on Thursday 9th Nov
Post by: sanredrose on November 18, 2017, 08:15:10 AM
Prices are set by Gray Nics. If they have good demand for "Legend" bats then they can milk the profits. Top end prices have been going up and I would expect GN Aus to catch up with these level of prices very soon. Kook Khawaja has already been priced at AUD 1500.

The benefits of handpicking I see. Great selection this year, better than the last few years. You have got some gems. Power bow seems to be my favourite
