I doubt anyone could copy it as good as Gray Nicolls making them.

If its the shape you are after you could probably end up with a better piece of willow. Why did you not get one of your Lavers in that shape?

I think the clue in the GN's golden oldie may lie in the success of the GM Luna.

And to be fair, it would have been made in India.

Opener Bhai - I don't know why it didn't cross my mind then, I was in talk with Andy to get a different shape for one of my Lavers but then I was reluctant because I thought james would be master of what he makes everyday.

Tim - I know, but out of curiosity my 3* has a stamp on back saying 'Made in England'

Uksaunders - Luna is success? I doubt it mate

Do you think Alex would let us pre-order if it is a scoop?

I hope they don't just copy the old model, but stick a 21st century twist on whatever bat they do release

Really? Maybe it was made in England!

Why would you say that the Luna hasn't been a success?

I'd be a little dubious mate seeing as every bat that they are advertising on there is 2/3 seasons out of date. No evidence but I would like to speak to someone on the phone to source.

I emailed them same day when Tommy told about them and they never replied.

I emailed many retailers in US who have this bat on there website but non of them replied.

Gotta be a Dynadrive!!! one of the young lads in our team has just been given one that had been in someones loft for years when it turned up on Saturday I was like a kid again Loved those bats and think they should have a "Classics range" release a few Hundred LE Grade of each of the classic profile/Shapes now that would be awesome!!
