Bats / Re: List of bat models banned due to size?
« Last post by Kulli on June 21, 2025, 10:17:19 AM »
Even within a bat model the sizes will vary. Obviously the 50+ etc are all way too big but I imagine most models will contain bats either side of the gauge.

Bats / List of bat models banned due to size?
« Last post by swark on June 21, 2025, 07:14:03 AM »
Slightly odd question, but I was wondering whether there was a list anywhere of bat models that were effectively banned due to the ICC introducing the size restrictions (i.e. maximum length of 38 inches (965 mm), maximum width of 4.25 inches (108 mm), maximum depth of 2.64 inches (67 mm), and maximum edges of 1.56 inches (40 mm)).

A team-mate has a number of bats from around 2010-2015 and was wondering which ones were still legal versus illegal. I know that we can measure them (or find someone with a bat gauge), but it did make me wonder if there was a list that actually noted the models that were no longer compliant.

This is the problem when Instagram/social media or the likes of CBF declare something to be the new must have. Causes issues for retailers and people wasting their time.

I've probably lost days of my life dealing with people looking for 45mm splice measurement and 20mm shoulders, as then they won't get shoulder damage. Or some other similar very questionable request 😆

Tell me more about this bat you have... and you have managed to keep it to 2.8... 🤣

Anyone seen a neocore used in their club games yet? I'm a bit surprised that I've not.

Amusingly I was speaking with the person that runs my local cricket shop, who was saying they keep getting phone calls from people asking them to check the shoulder stamps of all the GN bats they have in stock, because 'apparently some particular stamp means it's a belter'  :D they declared it to be a load of rubbish because they're all made in India now anyway...
They said people were after a union Jack stamp, I thought Alex's stamp was an H

Hunts Turbo was the original. They then started doing it on all their bats. They may still do, although much of their own brand range is thought to be imported.

Cheers Chad - wasn't aware it's been done before. Was wondering if it was something GN had tinkered with following a few handles breaks on the Neocore!

Meuleman's in Australia have just released the GN Air, which is similar to the Neocore but has a normal handle/splice. Still has a hole drilled out the middle from the splice down


It's in line with what they've done in the past I believe with the hollow core technology - the hole is not as large as the Neocore, hence why they can splice it normally. I believe their Ultimate 1000s used this too. Hunts have also been doing this in the past, and may still do

It was a B1 - 2lb 10. I've used it in a match now and it made a nice sound
