needed to grab some new gear from the local store, while I was there, as always headed over to swing a few sticks.
All the new on for GN were in stock, so spent my time within that range. XP 70/ XP 80. 50+, elites and slivers.
My initial impression of the XP was woo, the pickup was incredible for the size of the swell but after a convo I was having with another punter who was also swinging bats, told me that he was there to pick out a new bat as the XP he just brought was being exchanged unwarranty. Shoulder crack was attempt to be repair by GN (glue) but the repaired failed, I guess that can happen with any bat and at least the customer was being look after, which is also my experience with aus GN.
However it prompt me to re look at the XP and my initial impression turn to , insane, crazy, extreme and I mean that in a bad way. 70/80 mm spine is massive and the shoulders and toes are where they have made some serious weight reductions. Perhaps they have gone just too far particularly with the light/med weight ones, a lot of wood hanging of those skinny shoulder.
