Think you may be right, I believe with another of there ‘’limited release’’ bats they just re-stickered old Kronus bats with some new stickers. As you say i would imagine will be 100 or 200 grade bats, which however from my Butterfly shockwave could give 1 or 2 very nice sticks in that lot
I think Gray Nics have done this for a few years now but happy to be proved wrong...
Limited Edition Blue players bat from a couple of years ago - restickered classic series player bats?
This years World Cup Blue Stickered bat - As you have mentioned was just the Kronus shapes restickered, are they new for this year or is it just last years stock that they couldnt get rid of?
Ruth Strauss Foundation Bats (an amazing cause btw) - were they not just restickered Powerspots?
Jonny Bairstow's "Red" Shockwave for the world cup - Shockwave bats that were struggling to sell as we got near to the middle of the season?
And now these 'Tailenders'?
it is something that to me is wrong and has devalued the brand, I hope I am just being too much of a Nerd and noticing bat shapes unlike regular cricketers. Gray Nics also seem to be the company most keen to push forward the release of their new range year on year more recently, im not in the industry but it seems to come from them every year. For example they are releasing the new range on the 9th of September this year. Seems incredibly early.
