Took a gamble and ordered a velocity players choice last night, they all look like crackers and with boxing day specials i couldnt say no at Aud$349, cannot wait until it arrives!, would anyone happen to know if they Aus Made?

The best option is to ask the seller. Kingsgrove & Meulemans have always been able to tell me upfront what is the model and where its made.

@Percy_Grainger If there is Blue colored Made in Australia label on the handle top & "A"stamped on the back somewhere then will be Aussie made. These 2 identifiers are not present on Indian or UK made GN bats.

Yes was told both bats have this so I am sure its all good.  I actually bought these before the Boxing Day sales so they were a little more expensive than the current sale prices at GCCC.  Kingsgrove don't have these models on sale anyway but more importantly I wanted to get them whilst there was a decent amount of stock to choose from.  I once ordered a bat online from GCCC (GN Powerspot) and what was delivered was so poor I returned it.  At least with these I know what I am getting.  Also Kingsgrove knock the bats in for free which is worth some money too. 

I was told that the Atomic 1000 have been very popular this year so I hope the one I chose turns out to be ok.  TBH the best time to buy bats in Australia is around Jul-Aug when the new shipments come in from Melbourne.  It's kind of like the equivalent of buying in Jan-Feb in the UK

One other thing to mention - the model I chose for my mate weighs between 2.8 and 2.9.  But I couldn't help but notice that on the GCCC website they are listed as being 2.12-2.13.  All the current stock at Kingsgrove are 2.9 max although they were all 2.12+ earlier on in the season apparently.  Maybe GN started making them lighter for the batches made after Oct to make sure they complied with the new MCC rules .. not sure

Does this 'A' mean its made in Australia?

Yes it does indeed and should have a blue made in Australia on the Handel and tape instead of twine under the grip

@Umi I would recomend getting in contact with @skip1973 or @Aussiecollector who are really up on their Gray-Nicolls bats and are really helpful in sorting bats etc

And I'm sure posts like that will really help the cause.
Great work, champ ;)

I have given up! You want something done, go to Muelemans. Rest is riff-raff and idle chatter!

@simonmay5  hasn't had any trouble getting STU made bats , our conversations have led to his GN experience being very special indeed , my bats are very unique but not impossible to get a hold of , my teamates have used many of them & love every bat , even sold a few to those who have asked , I suggest @manno & @InternalTraining build a relationship with a manufacturer over many years & gain a level of respect from them , then you can post & share unique bats that have been offered to you , or just cough up some big dollars & order a special from GN , looking fwd to seeing you sharing this on the forum , many other guys on this forum have done this & reaped the rewards from batmakers , they then post to share the experience, some very rare examples have been seen ,was going to show the 2018 kronus & legend gold that i have as well  , but you 2 “gentlemen” know everything already only 1 2018 kaboom has been made with 56mm edge in super rare black willow with a 2lb 12oz weight , so it is atm "unobtainable" , from now on I'll leave it to you 2 to keep the forum up the speed on the Aus GN news.

May be, may be not. If they are that difficult to get hold of, and people are not willing to help, then they are as good as cow dung. I have no desire to share news about cow dung.
