Gray Nicolls 50+ Bat Review
« on: September 24, 2016, 05:12:43 AM »

This took long to come, very long indeed. The bat had arrived 05 July 2016, but due to time constraints I had been unable to write a review. Fortunately, I would not be writing a missive, rather I will let the pictures talk!

The bat was bought by Kingsgrove, the gentleman who had helped me was, Sham. I must say he had been extremely cooperative and sincere. I was extremely pleased by his service!

The bat weighs 2.15, edges are around 56-57mm. Has a thin handle which does not have twine entirely. The pickup is good, however, it would be wholly absurd to say that it feels around 2.10 which is the weight I generally use (or few ounces lighter).

I have just used it against bowling machine where it has been coming down extremely well, I haven't used it against a leather. Whilst I did get the bat knocked, it still needs playing in. It pings good, what you'd expect from a 2.15, however, I would say best judge would be against a leather balls rather bowling machine.

I have been timing the shots well for speed up until 70 mph.

Oh, it came with a fantastic bat cover! Extremely well padded and nicely constructed.

I know I haven't written much nor a typical review (apologies S!) but don't hesitate to ask me any question(s) you wish to ask. I'll let the pictures talk now, they are more enticing anyways.

Without any further delay;

Artistic pictures! Rivaling Chad, who'd have thought that would be possible!

I wish I wasn't a weakling. 2.9 is as heavy as I can go  :(

Questions? Would you like to sell it? I hear @amritpremi is after one!  :D

Just over 500 GBP.

Truth to be told, I bought it knowing it is out of my weight range so I will stick with it. Thank you for asking though.

Please, Uzair, Hosk, Alan and Simmy are only a handful of people out of the many who take far better photos than me! :)

Cracking looking bat Uzair, I hope you get plenty of runs from it!

That's absolutely massive Uzair - would you be able to make a few pics of profile comparisons vs your bb's to put it in perspective please (& of course you realise everyone wants to see a video in the nets).

Wanted to see what the fuss is and all.

So modest eh, truth to be told, pictures were inspired by you/Alan in particular.

Thank you, I hope I use it in 2017 season!

Thank you, I will certainly post profile picture with other Gray Nicolls (would be apt I presume).

Video, I will record this week and post it!
