Title: Gray Nicolls Vapour HS Special Edition
Post by: bigc92 on August 19, 2022, 09:42:03 AM
Just received my new bat from Kingsgrove Sports in Aus.

Apparently this is Harry Solomons favourite shape.

Really pleased with it, weighs 2’9 and with the slightly higher middle picks up so well.

Lovely - modified so it's hotlinks rather than thumbnails - something this gorgeous deserves to be shared in proper sized images. :D

That's a monster for 2'9, lovely shape as well.

Lovely Shape. Aus made GNs are probably the best bats in the world!

Lovely stick. Hope it serves you well and shows you plenty. With those 'specs' you'll be hitting 100 metre sixes every ball! 😉

Wow. That is a huge. Stunning. How is the handle thickness mate? The bat is so huge I think it’s making the handle look a bit thin but could be an illusion?

I thought the vapor is not made in Aus but this seems to be an exception. Stunning bat.

The handle is very skinny. As they use medical tape rather than binding. Extra grip needed I think

Lovely bat, wish the Uk had the same range as Aus always seem to be a step above the UK offerings. Love the retro checked stickers at the top like the GN bats of the 90’s.

Hope it scores you loads of runs mate

Always especially gutted the UK doesn't offer the small adults size. Perfect for the shorter bloke.

Looks lovely but I am starting to get annoyed with the burnt /cnc text designs on bats.. would have looked nicer if they had that writing on a sticker...

Agreed! I don’t like the laser markings as much as a sticker.

No real bow to speak of. Very slight. Very flat face as well
