Vortex looks like it has a multi-spine profile. Interesting. I always loved the gray nics playing with cutting bits out. Nemesis is more of this fun.

It will be interesting to have a swing of the powerspot as it looks a much bigger bat than the old generation.

Am I seeing it right that there are no long handle or long blade options at all in the new Grays range?

Would love to see a Powerspot and Nemesis in person! Not really sure on the Maverick softs, has anybody seen them in person? The bags do seem a bit different though!

Oh dear... I'm quite liking this new range! :-[ Quick question Jake, see when ordering a custom made LE from you, can we specify the handle type and round/flat pressing? Just curious. :)

The Vortex looks very interesting and I like the new maverick cosmetics on the bats. The Oblivion gloves look good too. When will these be available?

It hard to get one that heavy from the top wood (which tend to be lighter) reserved for LE/Custom mades. The 'standard' Dynadrive is generally a bit heavier, i have seen one at 2'9 though

Yes, having been there twice to pick out Dynadrives, I can say that the 2.9 ones were few and far between this year! That being said, we do still have one in stock in this weight...

November.

Maverick softs are hideous, as are the bats.  Like the new bags though, and Vortex and Nemesis look interesting...

I'm quite disappointed, bats all look ok but not keen on softs or bags really. The bags sound good in terms of pockets, sizes, etc but not keen on the colours.

Vortex has 'scoops' out of the edges similar to the Nemesis but lower down the bat. It has a normal profile in terms of the spine, unlike the Nemesis.

Prices will largely be similar to this year on existing/updated ranges.

The Powerspot is likely to sell around £175.

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

Some things are available now: Kaboom and X181 (plus a very small number of the matching gloves)

The rest of the range will be here around November time i think.
