Interesting to see how long in practice the bats actually last. Having seen smileys in the flesh the aussie GNs are massive, but of course very expensive
No more expensive than top of the line Salix, GN, GM or most UK brands top offering. Plus they can't make them like this.

another nail in the coffin for all bowlers - how glad am i that i keep wicket too - do not have to bowl at someone using one of these or field in their striking zone!!!!!

I'm sure wicket keepers would love this. Bigger edges = more area to nick behind.

Price has gone up a tad since I bought mine.

But, as skip say. I have a few top end b3's, h4l custom, Affinty custom that were all similar price, but non near this for size of bat.
But size isn't want impresses people I've find. It's the ridicolous pick up. Everyone has the same reaction when they pick it up. WTF how is this possible.


Is it dry, nope not imo.
Is it soft. Nope my h4l Nv was much softer and has took a lot more damage since the begging off the year.
Is it a gun! Yes yes it is.
Does it sound  like Jason Roys! Yes it does when I actually hit it......

Sweet Spot Position = Everywhere


I think this one is questionable.
The toe is super thin on these and they have extra scalloping at the lower end of the bat to compensate for the wider edge. The toe just might spit quite easily.

Doesn't matter how big your weapon is if you can't use it properly!

Toes far from super thin and no scalloping anywhere on mine. Have you seen one?


Toes are dead on most bats, this no exception, but once an inch and half up the blade it sings.


Mine is here

Rest of my bats, search my profile for them.

One of these bats does looked scalloped unlike your Chris which i have to admit is one of the most impressive bats i have ever set eyes on...

yours toe far from thin looks that way because of the sheer size of the thing...

great bat

I love this bat. I don't even care if i could use it in a game, just using it in the nets would be cool.

What's the difference between the Warner and the 50+ in profile terms? I am not referring to size so much as shape.

i think the only difference is the Warner profile has a super short handle where the 50 plus has a normal ength handle

I believe the spine height of Kaboom is higher & also the sweet spot is higher. GN 50+ looks much more balanced as a shape than the warner.

i reckon that the 50+ stickers look way better then the kabooms, which try way to hard.
