Seems that GN are releasing their new kit today...
-
The Gray Nicolls 2022 Range is being announced on Insta (and I presume other SM) this morning.
1st post is below - it seems the Signature Range (Pro Performance etc) has had a makeover...

Unhelpful shots of two bats out so far... will this be the year a UK manufacturer finally gives up and produces one profile with a choice of half a dozen sets of stickers?
-
To be fair the two bats shown so far alpha and pro performance seem very different shapes.

Ah that's a better angle of the Alpha. Definitely seems to be the way GN have been going for a while now.
-
This looks a big lump!

they have done all the retro bats i think, be nice if they came up with another though
-
The Alpha looks lovely, and nice to see a high middled bat in the range
-
Gloves are on my definitely need list so I’m looking forward to seeing them! I’m sure I won’t take too much convincing to buy pads and bat to match though.
-
for such a bastion brand,their marketing and decals are pisspoor and imo been so for last 3-5 years..
nonetheless,i am towards the end of my career and the kids must love the Star Wars colours but all i see down in Sussex are Newberys and Keeley,which given the location,may speak volumes
-
Not sure what their thinking is behind the decals in UK vs the decals in Aus/rest of the world. The Aus decals always look to be with the times where as the UK are generally meh.
-
The Predator is back!!
With what looks like pretty original stickers.
-
Powerbow is back too
-
Waiting for new kit bags…
-
that predator looks amazing, the old ones were massive so i hope these ones are too. does this mean they have pied off the Elite and the Ultimate from this year?
-
Really like the green Vapour gloves. Not a fan of the bats - way too much concaving for my liking.
-
Loving the look of the performance/signature range bat and the Powerbow. Full profile all the way for me! :D

Think the vapour gen 1.0 will be my go to shape from now on, just looks massive

Are they guaranteeing sizes/specs at specific weights?

I certainly wouldn’t be purchasing a bat at the Gray nics prices, once a few more images are released to show the real shape, I’ll be getting a smaller bat maker to make me a couple bats

Are any of them in any way unique enough to give reason to copy?

New 2022 catalog for you to have a gander at

Thank you for sharing! Predator looks great. 2022's bat has just been picked.

Don't understand why they complicate names by appending in numbers like 1.1, 1.3 etc. Can just give different name and make it easier for everyone.

Agree I always found GN grading confusing... like CA and their 5000, 800, 10000 etc... which they drop in grade with each new model..
Do GN have a page describing their grading system/models?

I thought it was quite simple for me, but maybe it's cause I'm a bit of a GN fan. From my knowledge, the Vapour and Alpha can come in different colours, so the 1.0 is the base colour, then 1,2,3 are all the alternatives. The grading structure I'm sure about, but I'd think it was probably going to stay with the current grading system. With the Predator and Powerbow coming out and the Classic range, they'll have catered to a lot of the folks who like the classical looking bats. For those who are more modern, offer 2 different ranges with different colours amongst them means the folks after modern bats with a modern look don't have to worry about getting a profile they like in a colour they don't like. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong @Six Sixes Cricket @thebigginge
