Unless a GN Elite has Robin Smith holding it, then it means nothing
-
This is super exciting!
Also is it even an Elite without a yellow grip?

Wow, that is a great spot. I watched the same video and assumed it was just one of those Supernova sticks - definitely looks new!
-
Definitely is new! Gray Nics have been teasing the fact they’ve got an exciting new range coming out, and retweeted that from Billings with excitement..... they’re now interacting with Phil Salt on Instagram about his new kit too!

Bring back the test opener pads please

This is joyous nostalgia for some of us. It goes without saying we immediately changed the old bog standard black grip to yellow.
Didn't help play the square cut any better but we though we could.

the saturday he got his 100 was my first ever day at Lords as a 13 yr old sat in the Mound Stand with my Dad, one of my favourite days of cricket ever!!!

Phil Salt has the new power spot. More of the
Nasser Hussain vintage Athers design. Looks good.

Saw that a little earlier - this is how you do retro ranges - I'm a big fan!
-
Wow, I want that

@Six Sixes Cricket what grade will the Elite bat be for £300? Will the be available in decent weights? Asking for a friend....... 😉
-
I'm asking for me then gloves remind.ke.of a pair of old GN Megadrive gloves I think it was..
I remember getting on two buses and got wet through to buy my GN test opener pads and a hunts county helmet because I would have had to get the lesser pads if I wanted the CD Albion lid.
Good days
Them bats come in at 2/7 or 2/8
-
2.7 or 2.8 is no good to me 😂😂😂

At a guess grade 2 I would expect. Haven’t seen the range in the flesh yet due to my rep living in Wales. I’m guessing weights will vary. Can probably request a certain weight if Pre ordered
-
Elite is a bit before my time so doesn’t really do much for me, like the simplicity of the gloves though.
-
I’ve got a powerspot on the way to me can’t wait for it to arrive

The gloves look like the same shape as the Prestige gloves, with retro looks.
-
Those gloves are the 750's, the 1500's are shark tooth
-
Might get an Elite just for a bit of nostalgia. I was given an Elite 500 by Chris Penn (Kent) when I was a very young chap, and I used it for couple of seasons with decent success. Hopefully next will be the Ultimate then the Optimum.
-
I’m a bit gutted I can’t find one of the Aus Ultimates, powerspots look good

@Six Sixes Cricket can you let me know when you’ve got a bit more info??
-
Really like the look of those 750 gloves, will be interested to see the more expensive model too.
-
If they’re going full retro with the gloves they really need to be 100% leather. Chances of that? About 0.5%?
-
Eh, when I was a kid my first batting gloves were literally white cotton gloves with rubber anti-cat spike on the fingers and knuckles. 😂😂 They looked just like these! Given this was in the early 2000s, maybe an elderly relative had given me some kit.

Here's a photo of Billings wearing the shark tooth one's, they look lovely 😍
-
I should be able to sort out the new GN catalogue tomorrow, so feel free to email me rob.bawdon@sky.com, and i'll try and get a copy to you
-
Those gloves worn by Billings look proper classy!

Liked the look of the profile of Sibley’s Ultimate, can’t find a pic anywhere hopefully the ones available are similar 🤞🏼🤞🏼
