jesus what is wrong with some people on here? give gray nics a chance,the bat is not 'cosmetically' what you want,why don't you go to the factory and ask them to swap it for one without heartwood,what are they going to say? no? I don't think so...it's brand new!
It's not quite the right weight? ask them to take off 2 oz's?
I'm sure they are plenty of people on here who have had good and bad GN bat's,just like any batmaker,not one single one of them can 'guarantee' a top performing bat.
Blokes in my team had grade 3's that fly off the middle and grade 1's that don't,it aint an exact science.You can have a £400.00 custom made bat that won't score you any runs,you do,not the bat.Wake up and smell the coffee
And advertising 'a bat for a pro' on Ebay is just.You're lucky you did'nt get reported
