It's only available from a shop called Meulemans over here in Perth. Apparently GN wanted to release this into their mainstream range but Meulemans refused to keep it exclusive to them. One thing I will say is that the sticker quality isn't great, I've already got the side stickers that wrap around the edge near the spliced area starting to peel, so I've had to tape them down. Annoying...

I had one of these a couple of years back (think it's an XXX IV or V) that went to a friend. He reckons it's the best bat he has ever had.

Well lads, I caved in. Although I really didn't need another bat, I decided to spend some of my tax return money on a 2nd/training bat. Went to Meulemans again and got another XXX, this time the 1000 LE, which is the model down from the top of the line one:









For a back-up/training bat, it's probably too good, but I was drawn to it as soon as I saw it. Eight straight grains evenly spaced, weight very similar to the #1 (2lb 8.5oz). Currently working the mallet and it responds very nicely, maybe slightly harder pressed, the Hand Crafted one feels a tad softer, but it's still an absolute gem and I'm really looking forward to using this in the nets when it's ready!!

Do they still have much stock? Thinking about going for a visit but won't worry if they don't have much left. What sort of weights do they do jn the xxx range?

[Over Gully]

Yeah plenty there when I went. I was at the Joondalup store but I'm sure the Sth Perth store is well stocked too. As far as weights go not sure, I'm pretty much a 2lb 8-9 guy, but they pick up really nicely, even the heavier ones.

These are the best of GN bats by a long way. Designed by Justin Meuleman which is why they want exclusivity. You should see how quick the test and state GN players get the stickers off and a set on of the range they endorse......

[patriotscreen]

Amazing how a bat like that is still not classed as a top of the line bat. It's a stunner! Am definately suffering from grain envy right now!

really nice bat.

I had the GN XXX last season and it was a beauty.

Very tempted.

[shoab68]

I'm quite tempted myself... You get around 20% off I think if you order overseas. I would get it sent to HK, so you're not hit by the customs in the UK!

Aren't three brand new LEs enough?
