I didn't ask the weight, it seems quite likely the bat will weigh around 2lb 9oz - 10oz, which I will be happy with.

The price was further reduced from £200 to £150, looks like this only happened today.

So in view of this, I went for it, too.

Have received email confirmation of the order, now wait and see if there is still stock available.

 


Argh... That's pretty darn tempting... =.= I think I'll take a pass though... (For once!)

No reason why they shouldn't be decent bats for £150 on the basis they are genuine GN LEs minimum.

Still, let's see what is delivered though. Expect to receive it early next week and will post photographs by next weekend.

Thank you to all those posting helpful advice and hope everyone that ordered are pleased with their purchase.

Pretty good looking one for SD standards, someone got lucky!

shocking bat for a players edition bat with a £500 RRP. Imagine if you had paid £500 for that!

No-one will have paid 500 quid. We have had them on sale at £380.

I don't think they are described as players edition anywhere (could be wrong though) they are simply signed by the player and they also only come in his preferred weight. Mine is quite a different shape to a normal Powerbow too, still concaved though.

That one looks pretty typical of the ones we left behind when handpicking at Gray Nics.

Haha his prices are a little optimistic to say the least, baring in mind he probably bought it from SD judging by the barcode/sticker on the back

Decided to take the plunge aswell and mine turned up today. Would have been mortified if i paid £400 but for £150 pretty pleased 9 even straight grains , mallet test sounds good, it hasnt been signed though its just a sticker and there is a tiny blemish on the inside edge near the toe. Picks up nice.
