ALEX HALES GN WEAPONS
« on: September 06, 2018, 07:16:09 PM »
Hello All, I was Lucky enough to have a chat with Alex Hales while he was practicing. Long story short he let me have a look at all his bats that he brought with him. Massive bats for the weight felt 2.8, nice thick toe, balance was unreal, obviously very impressive. My favorite one from the batch was the one with a pink grip. The other two bats had “Z” on the shoulders. Thought I would share it here. Enjoy

Pink one doesn't even look like a Gray-Nicolls, no edge stamping and the Stickers don't look like they've been applied properly

Also I like the fact one is labeled as a 400 haha

400 labeled one is the pink grip bat, no shoulder stamping like the other two of his bats. But it was the best of the 3.

Interesting to see a bat labelled 400 when GN have a halestorm model dedicated to the man

I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that it’s just a bat he has picked up and liked. Asked GN for the stickers and the 400s got sent out to him. Then if he sticks the on a plank it’s not a big deal.

What I'd give to be as "talent-less" a batsman as Alex Hales...

How can a bat be talented anyway? I'm pretty sure they don't go out and score runs on their own, the bloke wielding it has to do most of the work!

Any clues on the pink grip bat? Which one had the thickest toe? Pink grip?

Pink grip bat is probably Indian made. He was netting with the pink bat and later power hitting with the orignal GN bat.
