Title: Sooper Scooper, lights are gonna blind ya (GN grading question!)
Post by: Mattsky on January 09, 2019, 12:37:11 PM
Goodly and wise Forum Folk, I'm toying with the idea of snaffling one of the new GN Scoops.
They seem to be graded as either 400 or 1000.
I'm guessing 400 is commonly grade 2/3/4 whereas 1000 is Grade 1.
Anyone know for sure?
Or anyone have one and care to share thoughts on it?

Much obliged.

Nice. Grade 2 has obviously fallen out of favour.  :D

Hi @Mattsky

I have one of the 400’s, not bad looking with 6 slightly wobbly grains, and only a few small blemishes. Its a big bat weighing just under 2’11 with big edges, 47/48mm at peak, and over 40 for a long way up the bat. Pick up and ping pretty decent.

Not the best bat in my bag but always makes me smile when I take it out for a hit, and certainly attracts attention (and some banter).

Nice, @Chalkie. That'd be a monster without the scoops!
