GN 2015 Launch
« on: July 08, 2014, 01:50:50 PM »

I have spent the morning at Twickenham viewing the 2015 GN ranges, there are some really exciting products on the way.

We can't release any pictures just yet but I will update with some photos when I can.

Many customer ideas/requests/wants have been listened to, including full profiled bats, especially lightweight ones.

There are also some cool new products in the heritage range to complement the flagship Legend.

----------
EDIT

Hi guys,

Ranges are now out and will be going onto our website for pre-orders very soon. I have just launched a forum pre-order offer on GN 2015 for September which you can find here: http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=31730.0

Legend. Not a great photo of the bat, but there is a lot of nice lazer engraving on the bat. The top cap on the handle is made of leather, nice touch.




Prestige, introduced for those wanting to kit themselves out in the style of the Legend but can't stretch to the top end prices.




The Dynadrive remains the same

The core range of 4 bats keep 2 options from this seasons and introduces 2 new models.



Omega XRD





F18





The Powerbow Gen X and Oblivion E41 remain the same for 2015 aside from the Oblivion E41 gloves.



Kaboom



Lucky 7



Nemesis



Got a very lightweight, high end shoe called the Omega Pro, and a more affordable option called the Sigma. All current shoe options remain




WK Gear





Bags remain mostly the same, but there are now 2 high end duffle options



I will update ASAP with better pictures.

I am just hoping to have some traditional profile bats, so sick of scoops and concaving profiles

Full profile in a light weight, "proper" Powerbow shape being bought back?? (Maybe wishful thinking)

Full profile in light weights smells off small edges.


I'm not a hater of small edges, far from it, but we know the gm 1885 was bought out as it was "what the people wanted" but was then canned a year later. As it didn't sell in numbers.



What people want on a forum, or in surveys emails, are a different thing from what the actually buying public will purchase.




Personally I'm looking forward to there innovative ranges, (as still would love a nemesis in a 2.14 plus weight) and what heavy weight bats they release this year(2012/13 had some good grade 1/2 blades in 3lb plus, but 2014 there all grade 3/4)

I loved the powerbow, had about 3 of them until the prices went sky high, then got one custom made in a powerbow shape. Could be tempted back to GN if they bring back the powerbow, although not paying through the nose.

Samples aren't always the best guide, but the bats i saw did not have small edges.

The Legend no longer has stickers if that helps ;)

GN want to launch their own images as they have spent a lot of time creating things for various media channels, so i must hold fire with photos etc for now. Anyone who pops into the store might get a sneaky look into the catalogue though....

Long handles yes, long blades no. In the standard ranges at least.

I will discuss with GN regarding custom mades, anyone interested please pm me :)
