Hi all, thought I would share my new GN Atomic Aus version from our newest sponsor Six Sixes Cricket.
First thing to say is how great Rob was to deal with, I was originally looking for a bat for a team mate, sent me pics and even a ping video as well as giving me his honest opinion about each bat. During this convo he mentioned these GN Aus Atomic bats and although I have had a bit of a cull of bats in recent months I am a sucker for a GN.
So firstly the thing is massive and would not fit through a bat gauge 41/42mm edges, I don't have am electric gauge to be exact but it's around that with 60mm plus spine and all at 2.8 is a big bit of wood, there is a small amount of concaving but nothing much at all. Handle is certainly a little thicker than my 2 other GN bats and more in keeping with my Chris King made bat which is better than the stick thin handles I have seen on other GN bats recently as I really only like a single grip set up.
Performance wise that bat is fairly soft with seam marks clearly present from tapping up and old ball and responsive is decent most of the blade and for a Mid profile seems very good slightly higher up the bat but this will be tested when nets start in a few weeks but in my opinion the most consistent of the big brands when it comes to pressing and performance is GN.
The bat came with edge tape applied which I have removed as it was really think covering all the edges and a good inch either side of the blade, came off very easily and not my thing really edge tape.
The bat does seem a little dry so I will apply some bat wax in the coming days as well.
Once again thanks to Rob.
