I am in need if a new bag, prefer a stand up style which one do you think will stand the text of time from the range and can I get a pic as well
cheers mate

The Legend is a proper stand up bag. The GN 1000 (the bag i am going to have) is not specifically designed as a stand up, but stood up fine when i was road testing it.

GN have changed bag manufacturer, and the difference was instantly noticeable. Quality, hard wearing materials used, sturdy zips and handles, good bags all round.

The pictures of the 2 bags have already been posted, i'm sorting out better quality ones now.

I'm fairly confident you can. You can certainly choose from any of the handles, round/flat faces shouldn't be a problem.

That's great to hear! Perhaps I have to pay a visit to a nice cricket shop when these come out to pic what one I want! :D Which of the bats impressed you most?

Feel free, the East Coast mainline is convenient ;)

Powerbow Gen X. Lovely lower middle, looks to be a huge bat (though samples are often misleading) with a lovely pickup despite the middle position. I also like the graphics.

Better pictures added to my original post on page one.

Looking at it properly, the Nemesis could almost be an attempt at something with Mongoose hitting characteristics, but a bit more up top to give defence from short balls.

Thanks a lot to Jake @ Vitas for all these pics!

Just one thing, Is Kaboom model launched for the UK market as well?

Can't see Gray Nics selling many of those in UK?

The bags look impressive, looking forward to seeing them in the flesh during the winter.

As for the new ranges, I think GN have been a bit too bold with their colour schemes (Maverick and Gen X). Preferred their easier on the eye ranges on offer at the moment.

No, x181 is already an Australian range, I love all of the ranges and the softs.

Being GN I'm sure the quality is good but other than the Legend softs the rest look like they've been designed by kids during a school project

When is the earliest time we can look at ordering as I like the bag under the legend the gn 1000 is it possible to see a closer up picture of this, also is it possible to get the powerspot with the vector handle as well and when could that be ordered
Thanks
