Re: Handpicking Our Bats At Gray Nics This Week

A nice early 7am departure from Peterborough for us today. On busy days like this, it is important to eat well. ;)




After arriving i had a quick snoop at the trees that had recently arrived.




From there it was into the stock rooms, here is Robin chatting with Ian Ellis, the man with one of the coolest jobs in the sport in my opinion.



Robin managed to talk Ian into letting us into the pro cupboard to pick out a bat for himself.




Bat racks in the main stockroom packed with lovely willow.





Not sure what was going on here....!



A couple of little oddities/interesting bits that i came across while i was wandering about.




Couple of nice ones :)




A couple of snaps of some of the trolleys as our order starts to come together.




Best way to end a top day out in Sussex? Unfortunately we didn't quite have the 'balls' for the cocktail.




Some of the bats that we have taken back to the shop with us. The rest will follow very soon. As well as the Oblivion E41 LE that caused the twitter meltdown.




Great day out, I must extend our thanks to GN for being such accomodating hosts.

Powerbow Gen X 5 star, 2'10. This is one of the nicest mid range GN bats in stock currently in my opinion, aside from ones that were pre-ordered and so never went onto the shelf.

We have some more lovely 4 and 5 star bats coming next week, but for now, here is some bat porn.

Please God let me win the lottery!! I don't need much, just enough to get my hands on some of these bats that are popping up all over the forum.

Jake there is a bat cover on an Oblivion E41, the one that the pros have on their bats...
Do you have any to sell or know of a way of getting any?
Cheers
