Had this on pre order with Jake who selected for me.
2.9lb exactly 12/13 grains. spine is 65mm with edges peaking at 40mm I reckon before it was knocked in.
Slight wave to the grain, but lovely pick up and feel...for a lot of wood in the bat....for the weight. Will try and get some better profile shots for ya'll tonight/tomoz.

Glad you are pleased with it mate. Like i explained on the phone, not the nicest looking LE i've ever picked, but it did match your other requirements spot on, and it taps up ever so well.

Wow ....now that's how LE bats should look like

One thing i have noticed on a lot of GN 2014 bats (only noticed after yours and a few other pre-order bats had been dispatched) is that the tape on the grip was either terribly applied, or has ridden up the grip for some reason, apologies if this is the case with yours.

That's alright mate - you can have another go with the custom order Powerspot!!! ;0) haha
It's a different league to the one I bought this year...more wood, less weight....more grains.....what's not to like

that is a very good looking face on that bat, keen to see the profile shots.

Yep - it's a bit weird. To be fair the grip is pretty tough and not to my taste so will be putting something softer over the top......and quite possibly neon!!!

Dude, that's been happening for years - I noticed it on my first generation Powerbow in like 2002!

That is one good looking bat you have !

[wayward_hayward]

Lots of grains there, both look really good. How much concaving do both bats have?

Hi Guys


Had chance to give it a whirl in the nets last night.
The middle is great, seems it's going to need a bit more playing in everywhere else, but right out of the meat - bloody hell !!
The handle is taking quite a bit of getting used to, i thought i would be getting a regular oval bottom, but this one feels more squared and thinner in general, with another grip on, it's not so bad so going to give it a good run in from now on and will report back.


In the meantime here are some more pics for you. Forgive the background destruction in the living room....

Nice pics!

Did you edge a ball? Just wondering why the gray nicolls name smudged?

P.S the T1 bag looks huge!!!
