Title: Any big Gray Nicolls showrooms in the UK?
Post by: Leddster138 on August 15, 2022, 04:10:46 PM
I follow Muelemans on Instagram and they are currently promoting some lovely Gray Nicholls sticks. They seem to have a big partnership with the brand showcasing mid-top of the range bats and taking real care to promote them.

It got me thinking, is there a UK equivalent? I live in the South Coast but can’t think of anywhere that I’d visit to look at large range of their goods. Double shame as I’m not far from the actual GN factory but they don’t allow visitors.

Any regular GN users have a preferred place to source and view their gear?

Online? The thing is GN are pushing their online store these days so it is difficult to see their full range anywhere really.

Depending on where you are along the South Coast, Cricket Hockey at Downton may not be a bad shout. Their website shows stock of individual bat weights so you should get a good gauge of stock before heading there.

I recently had a urge to order some Vapour's from ProDirect - one of them was a tree trunk and pinged like a devil but was a harrow, and the second one was a full sized SH but just felt horrible.

The joys of online buying!

A big lump of a harrow you say... Interesting.

There is a GN booth behind the Warner stand at Lords throughout this first test match, looks like they have a few available to look at.

I believe that they are at every UK Test match apart from Trent Bridge.

Yes I've noticed that. Its a real struggle to find somewhere that stocks a large variaty of their gear. I don't really want to travel to see a handful of bats from 3 different ranges and still don't trust online.
