Why Did I Wait So Long To Buy A Gray Nicolls???!!!!!!
« on: August 15, 2015, 04:00:07 AM »

It is amazing! It is everything I have ever wanted in a bat. It has such a promising ping that it could enjoy the top spot in the ranks of my bats with the two great: CA and MH-Amplus. Could there be there be a third match bat in my kit bag?  :D

Never seen a handle like this. There is no twine wrapped around the handle, only tape and then rubber grip. Strange.

What do you think?

"S" branded at the shoulder of the bat.

I'd go along with Skip that it's a Kaboom because of the orange grip in the pic

The stamp on the shoulder could be the batmaker the binding could be under the tape.

My Warner Legend bat has the same handle: no twine, just tape around it. I asked the guys at GCCC and they said it was to save weight...??

Strictly speaking it is not a legal Type A bat if it has anything other than twine to bind the handle. GN should know better. However, as there is no enforcement of Law 6 what can you do?

I think that's drawing a pretty long bow bambooman, plenty of players use it because it's thinner than binding, including warner.
