Gray Nicolls / Re: Changing bats forever
« Last post by jimmy23 on July 21, 2025, 07:47:44 PM »
I’ve got at uk market Neocore
It doesn’t pick up that light to be honest, 2.14 and picks up like it.
 I’ve even tried taking a bit of weight off the toe but still not great now.
Tried one in Talent cricket and the pick up was 3 or 4 oz lighter than the scale.

It sounds terrible with the hollow sound when using it against the bowling machine balls.

Maybe I got a bad one of the bunch 🫤

So none of you have made a purchase yet ? NEOCORE,s sold
in Australia are imported,  made in India, they are a full profile with a longer blade length & a short, thick 5 cork handle, thin top edge but a much bigger middle with big sloping shoulders, a thick toe, a front front driver's bat, right up to when you hit where the internal core starts, that's where performance drops off, the bat sound is even hollow & vibration is noticeable, still waiting for this bat to compress with more use, not sure how sales will go here, serious collectors will buy them,  no doubt.

Bat Care / Re: Help with scuff sheet not sticking

I know I know - this has been discussed before. But does anyone have any other tips for getting a scuff sheet (Gray Nic Fibretec) to stick better?

I am helping refurb. an old bat. I've sanded it back with 240 grit sandpaper and the Fibretec just won't stick to it. Never had this problem before. Tried heating it up prior to adhering and still no cigar.

Any thoughts?

If the issue isn't oil/wax, then it might just be a bad sheet. Sometimes there are gaps between the scuff sheet and the glossy sheet, and the glue can dry out slightly.

Turns out they are no more!

Also looks like Charlie French are no longer trading either which I don’t recall being mentioned!

Wasn’t aware Nixon was no longer trading. Out of interest, did you hear this from the horses mouth?

nope, this bat is completely different. the one you posted is commonly seen and not rare at all tbh

all the best

Did buy some hooky v600 stickers recently for a bat. They look very smart.

It wasn't me who said he was the best batmaker in the UK. Someone close to the source told me he hunted around for part-mades.

The worthy winner of the title 'best batmaker in the UK' would almost certainly be someone who made bats from start to finish.

Not that I really care.
