Bob Meuleman sorted out a Chris Lynn replica which i received today that i think is pretty special, 2.11, 74mm spine, 50mm edges and has a decent thickness oval handle. Will try to workout how to up a picture later, otherwise will send to Sarg for full review.

Wow!!

I have 2 GN 50+, both are special pickup, size & performance wise. Tough to replicate all 3 parameters in one.

These guys no longer have any 1400's in stock but GCCC have some coming in I believe.

@Tassie tiger
Where in tassie are you bloke? Surprised to see someone else from our little state on here!

Sorry for the stupid question but what models are Aussie made? I had touched based with GCCC looking at SM bat and both the Atomic 1400 and Velocity 900 are non-Aussie (assuming Indian made). The response to my follow up question said that handcrafted and only SH that are Aus made are the top end. Confused on how to identify Aus/non-Aus bats on the Web.

I was reasonably sure the atomic 1400 was Aus made, just bought a black edition which is below and that is Aus made, SK infact 😁
Didn't know SM weren't.

All grades can and can�t be Aussie made. I�ve got a 1000 that is and there was a few 700�s there were as well.

If you only want an Aussie made then specify it at checkout. Otherwise go with the Black Edition as they were all Oz made.

Going to sound like i�m Mega sceptical again but really I�m not, honestly.
If the Oz makes ones are so special, why does it seem to be so difficult to tell the difference between them and the Indian made ones?

It�s not really that hard to spot the Australian made ones if you know what you are looking for Handel shoulders are all a giveaway

An updated view on this.

Used my Aussie made kaboom for two season. Didn�t think it was possible to get better.

Picked up a predator halestorm from owzat this winter. Knocked it in and had my first ent with it last night.

Wow! Seriously the thing flies, I�d rate it better than my Warner kaboom. In fact I was second guessing myself so let a team mate Jd a go.

He offer me 300 quid for it there as he said he�d never used something so sweet.

UK grays can match or beat is grays when they want.

I have two made by SK and two other GN bats made in India.
One of the Indian GN bats needs knocking in so not easy to tell.
But the other Indian BN (bought from Vitas) taps up beautifully!! Really seriously impressed!!
Ok, so the SK made bats are better than those two but just because it is made elsewhere, it really doesn't mean that they aren't stonking bats!!

sarg · « **Reply #103 on:** March 09, 2018, 01:54:07 PM »

Off topic, but Im using a indian market GN Ultimate GN7 as a match bat atm with the red ink stamps. Fine bat and i could tell the moment i tapped it up. Different handle to the Aussie GNs an construction and shape but it is very impressive performance wise for a 2.84 and looks like the UK shapes. I had a GN Warner Players and a Predator 1300 and I prefer this one as far as ping and pickup. Its just one of those clefts that goes. I think GN makes a good bat. Sometimes overpressed in the lower grades.

Can you provide some hints on what to look for. The only thing that I have to go by is pictures on the web. Plus being US the options for good bats are kind of low or expensive compared to ordering during end of season sale in UK or Aus. Aus turns out to cheaper even with shipping.
