Having heard a lot about Pro4Sports, I decided to take a treck to their store in Derbyshire. It was a very long trek (120mile return) but one that proved to be very fruitful.

The best part was the time I spent with Chris and Dave.

Though I did not want to buy a bat, but I got tempted looking at the collection of bats. However, I fell for the bats there, but restricted myself to ab budget of �150.

Chris and Dave showed me quite a few bats but though all top quality (really pro stuff) these were off my restrictive budget. Finally, Chris went to his office and got me a GN Nitro.

My first reaction to seeing the bat was - - it's massive. A really intimidating profile. At 2.11 the bat was monstrous. The pick was a bit bottom heavy but Chris played around with a few grips and then we got it right. The pick improved significantly with 2 grips (one herringbone and one adidas).

The bat has 12-13 grans and a small butterfly mark, but the ping and feel are unmatched.

Pictures will be posted soon.

Chris and Dave are top blokes, very good selection of bats as Yash has said.

nice for �150 mate, that's a bargain!

I wish there was a way to show the ping and pick-up of this bat. This is a absolute beauty and none of the bats I have bought/used since the last season comes anywhere near it.

The Fusions, Warsops, Pumas are just shadows of this bat.

Not the most beautiful of bats, but can give any bat a run for it's money on the performance.

I am sure it would have found a buyer even at �200 or above.

looks nice.

is it a pro preformance

Na, i think it would have been graded as a 5 Star.

Seems like the only problem is the blemish

Richie · « **Reply #9 on:** January 05, 2009, 06:22:12 PM »

Exactly, and GN would have to down-grade it because of that.

What I could make out of the discussions with Chris and Dave this is a bat below the Pro Performance but the willow is better than that of a Atomic except for the cosmetics.

In the worst case I would assume this to be at least Atomic grade. Bur definitely not a 5 start as they sell the that for �100. Given the good guys they are they would have not ripped me off for sure.

Not a fan of the nitro's however Gray-nicolls generally do really good gear...
