Bat: Gray Nicolls Powerbow 3 Star
Description Long Handle bat weighing 2'11 with a big profile and very light pick-up, 11 grains mostly heartwood, probably G3 willow
Price £50 Brand New
Pics







Overall Very good bat for the price, has an awesome middle. Not the prettiest of willow but the performance more than makes up for it.

for £50 you cant go wrong - i expect it will perform as well as any other bat you've had - i've always found the pick-up on the powerbows to be slightly heavy despite the bow on the blade - but for £50 it's a very good deal!

not good mate, not good!
You never know, they may send you out something a little better for your trouble...........go on to make any more than 72.......had a good day myself with 86 against a touring side, probably becuase only 2 of them could bowl straight with one of them vomiting regularly at the side of the pitch.......this is why i love village cricket!!!

haha, no finished 72*! ran out of partners losing 3 wickets in an over at the other end. good work mate runs are runs! the team we played fielded for 30 odd overs with only 10 players as the man at deep cover attempted catching the ball with his face!

got my replacement today, i asked for something a little bit heavier and with lots of grains. they sent me exactly that, weighs about 2,12 and has 11 straight grains with a few blemishes. had a tap with it and sounds like a gun!
