Post by: Chad on May 27, 2023, 10:13:29 AM: I've been told there will be a Gray Nicolls stand this year as always, but it won't be Alex there. Former GN batmaker Chris King will be there instead to answer any questions though!

Apologies for delay. Will do pics tomorrow.

Really like the pick up. Holding it near blade with excess as the counterbalance - does that make sense? Feels great and ping is phenomenal. Still knocking it in because I don't want to take any chances.

Title: Re: Lords Test vs Ireland
Post by: thegowerwaft on May 31, 2023, 07:17:24 PM: Picks up really well. Big lump of wood. A very minor duckbill but a large toe. Good rounded back and so should be very forgiving.

Apologies that pics aren't great.
