Yes, although I haven't priced everything up yet.

If you have an idea of what you want, send me a pm and I'll sort a price for you.

Much like last years custom Dynadrives, the cleft will be handpicked by me from the pile of beautiful willow set aside for custom made bats. The customer can specify weight, the amount of bow in the blade, the length of the blade, they can also pick which of Gray Nics handles (vector-8, XRD, or select) they would like, round/oval handle and the choice of long handle/short handle/super short handle too.

I think a long handle nemesis would be a weapon.

After seeing a nemesis being waved about on sky yesterday, I really really want one. But as I need one to be around the 3lb mark. I'd have to go custom. (gn say they only come in medium weights)

The issue I have is, I fear that gray nics will merely hide the extra weight I want in the shoulder region, as opposed to making a truly ginormous nemesis.

So do I just buy a normal one. And hope vitas find me a heavier lovely pingy nemesis when they visit gn

Or

Risk it and just order a custom nemesis and keep my fingers crossed.

Or

Wait till this custom nemesis appears and see how it's come out?

Decision decisions.

Are custom mades still £325?

They are, yes.

Tough choices. The weight guide is just a guide, there are always bats outside the range, some heavier, some lighter. I'll always strive to get the best bat to match your requirements.

Thanks Jake. So what does this entail? Choosing a cleft via photo and then having it made up?

Officially no. It is a bat made to your preference of GN's shapes, with your choice of weight, long/short blade, long/short/super short handle, round/oval handle, V8/XRD/Select handle, you can also specify the amount of bow in the blade.

If you order before we visit Robertsbridge (no confirmed date but usually late Oct/early Nov based on previous years) then I will handpick a cleft to your preference.

Due to our good relationship with GN, last year i managed to secure photos of 2 or 3 clefts for customers to choose from, for bats that were ordered after we had visited.

I can't see it being a problem again this year, as we don't operate in big numbers on custom mades, but I cannot confirm 100%, ultimately this service relies on the goodwill of GN as officially the only way for a customer to choose a cleft is to pAy for a factory visit.

You could always ask someone with an oversize cleft to make you a replica of nemesis, that way you might get a truly huge bat.

4 days left to pre-order with the 10% discount. All pre-orders will receive a free pair of GN Storm socks, we offer free delivery and if you purchase a bat, it will be knocked in for free too.

Some tempters that some of you may have missed:

Nemesis 4 Star for 126 GBP with free socks, free delivery and free knocking in.

A Dynadrive or Powerspot LE for 279 GBP with free socks, free delivery and free knocking in. (surely you will have seen the type of bat you can get by now, but if you've missed my posts about Dynadrive LE's, here is something to get your attention)



143 GBP for a standard Powerspot with free delivery, knocking in and socks.

Don't forget, the discount is available on softs, helmets, shoes, everything. I haven't priced it all up yet but pm me for a price if you know what you want.

Chaps. Tomorrow is the last day to take advantage of this offer.

If you want to take advantage of it and save yourself 10%, get a free pair of socks, and most importantly have a bat/cleft handpicked by yours truly to your spec, please get in contact before it is too late.

Great offer here lads, from what I've seen in the store, Jake and Robin definitely know how to pick bats. I am sooo tempted to get another bat, but I know I really shouldn't buy anymore bats...

Shall drop you a PM later Jake... :-[

Many thanks to those of you who chose to take advantage of this pre-order offer, your early support for 2014 GN gear has enabled us to place a sizeable order with GN.

The more equipment we buy, the cheaper we will be able to make things for you, the customer, in the future. :)

This offer has now closed, I will be in touch in the coming weeks with those of you who have ordered bats to discuss your specifications.

Jake
