Poweredge was obviously not a huge seller, surprised as I thought it would be popular
Poweredge? Do you mean Powerspot?

Tbh I thought Vortex and Powerspot were real good offerings from GN in 2014.
Omega 2015 model looks interesting. Need better pics. Waiting on you Jake :)

I reckon that the Powerspot being discontinued is probably because (in my opinion) it isn't as Iconic as the Scooped bats were. And many of us have very bad memories of Powerspots with very small middles that it was hard to hit the ball off the square with.

Add to that that it is a traditionally shaped bat (and we know how successful the GM 1885 was) and I think it didn't ring the nostalgia bell as well as it might have. Certainly not in the same way as the Scoop and the Dynadrive.

I think what's notable is that the Powerspot, Scoop and Vortex all disappear, but the Nemesis lives on with somewhat more muted colours.

Tim, the Scoop wasn't in the range this year either.  They discontinued it in 2013 to make room for the Powerspot.

Can someone please tell me the difference/s between the Prestige and the Legend? The sticker on the face was the only one I noticed, and that's a subtle one at best...

My mistake - I thought they had the GN100 Force this year. Maybe it was last!

The 500 Light grade is a good idea and will be a good price point.  I wonder if the bats will actually all be 2.6-2.8 though...

I think the prestige has stickers on and the legend has laser engraving. Also, the prestige has 'First Class Players' graded willow, so I am guessing it is a lower trade as well. Looking at the profile, I can't see much of a difference.

If you mean ridiculous as in , ridiculous, then I agree.

A very muddled piece of branding.

I'm disappointed with the range to be honest.Seems to be too much going on in my opinion. The oblivion e41 gloves are Ok.They are just like the Australian version from last season. ( or the season before)
