Amazing monster bats. Are they all same specifications or each one is different?

Read a few posts up....or back... Whatever! But he had already answered that.

You'd be raided by multiple taxmen if you were here in India mate. That's a monstrous collection to say the least. Wicked !!

What's the ping like mate?

Pings extremely well, the 47mm one pings surprisingly the best and feels like a trampoline even near the toe.

They don't look too aesthetically pleasing in terms of grains but that's a opportunity cost with these huge bats, I'm jealous of the guys who have very nice grains on their kabooms and 50+...

Thanks I guess I skipped it!

I have been looking for kaboom for myself but couldn't find one which is of my liking.

Thanks,

even though the pickup of these bats are amazing, I'm not confident enough to be wielding them in actual matches, I'll probably use one for some satisfying net sessions and see how it goes.

Very impressive collection of GN big bats but Out of curiousity why so many of the same shape and model? Do u have more bats from other manufacturers in your collection.

Wow! 5 x net bats!

That does seem like an insane amount, but if you've the money to warrant it then fair enough.

Would love to own one of these but the idea of spending �300+ and then getting stung on imports etc is just beyond me

Got quite a few but not worth mentioning...

Just love the innovation from GN and since the restrictions are coming in, better to keep some handy

Mate i wouldn't be panicking. The restrictions on bat size will have bugger all to do with the mass retail of bats to weekend wackers that are climbing all over these giant logs. Theres just no reason for them to stop supplying such an eager market when they have no legal obligation to restrict them. Well at least thats the way id be thinking if i was gn....

absolutely, club cricket is impossible to regulate. I could be wrong but laminated bats were outlawed about 10 years ago and some of us play against guys with laminates pretty much most weekends.

a well made laminate is virtually impossible to tell from a normal big bat(very hard to see the line on the face)

Gn have 2 50plus left then that's it already have 2017 stock 50plus not in the range kabooms will be smaller to meet icc rules keep watching warners bats over the next 6 months it will be going on a diet

Although us Clubbies shouldn't be Policed or have our big bats excluded from use for a few years, (IF AT ALL) We are still likely to see the size of the bats in the shops get smaller, as the Brand models are always a reflection of what their Pro players are using! And as they will be using smaller bats due to these new regulations, it is only logical that the brands will offer these models.
This reason alone is a fantastic excuse for all of us to go treat ourselves to a huge monster of a bat

Or to go custom... excellent opportunity for getting a bat made in front of you.

Well thats disappointing then. Especially since we never saw Lynn Replicas, which, by all accounts are bigger again. I dont understand why they wouldn't keep producing something for a market not affected by the new regulations. Considering just how popular they have proven to be. As for bats the public buy being a "reflection" of what their pro players use. Hasn't that (despite a true "replica") been proven over and over again to be nothing more than a reflection of the stickers they use/promote?? Chucking the baby out with the bath water!
