Hmmm........If I actually manage to earn any money next week I will give you a shout! Will I get a choice of blades?

You can choose exact weight, and you could specify grain numbers etc. as well as we will most likely be hand picking them...

For the top Scoop, yes. 

Looks like the Scoop Force is a no-no then - cheers for the feedback.  A fibrtec sheet as standard for an SH bat is a little silly imho.  Not convinced about the £250 one either as it's gone up so much and now has to compete with the Dynadrive! It's tmes like this I wish we just had a bottomless pit of money to order in stock!!

This is definitely possible, yes.  One other thing to add, though, would be to get those pre-orders in by latest next Friday as I really want to place this order by then.  Ideally Monday, to be honest.

GN seem to be making a pigs ear of this.  Not sure anyone will pay #250 for a g2 cleft, and NO long  handle?  Boo and indeed HISS!

but the entry level - you might sell a few to youngsters?

Iain, it's not all bad - they do the £250 Scoop in LH, just not the Dynadrive.  I am put off by the £50 increase in the top Scoop, though, especially as the Dynadrive is there now as competition and will cost £50 less!

I might be in the minority here but the cheap scoop could sell better simply because of the price point. We forum members might turn our nose up at the cheap scoop but the average walk in punter might lap it up.

£250 for a G2 cleft is silly, I can even get an M&H for less! My scoop is going straight on ebay when they launch the new range lol

Are there any differences between the 2012 scoops and the 2013 scoops? i.e. stickers?

None whatsoever - more evidence to suggest that the price hike is a silly idea!

I'm my experience ive always found GN stuck in there ways and they look to be getting worse not better, how can you justify a £50 rise in the scoop with no change in design or quality or anything.

75% of the scoops ive seen haven't been g2 in my opinion ive seen some id class as g3/g4 and some i wouldnt pay £50.00 never mind £250.00 so this looks a mixed up mess.

I'm guessing that the scoop has gone well so up the price and bring in a new old range at a different price range to try and attract more customers, i would have thought both ranges would carry the same rrp with 2 models on offer and offering customers 2 different styles but the same quality at the same price.

I'm not sure how well this topic is doing in regards to orders but im certinly interested to see how many people get what they ask for in regards to number of grains as from experience you wont see many with more than 9 grains and some on here are obsessed with 27 grains and all that.
