If your after a new Gray Nics bat, i can sift through and hand pick a bat for you. All we ask for, for this service, is a �50 deposit ( refundable if i cant source what your after )

Thanks

Some pics from my day at GN. Alex was the bat maker and a great host as well

There were 4 clefts to choose from

Sadly one fell victim to the press

Cleft chosen, i showed Alex where i hit the ball and we marked off the area to put the most wood behind. Weight region of 2.9-2.10 requested

We got down a bat from the shelf to give Alex an outline of what sort of shape i was after

Now time to remove some wood

Pretty much done

Just the handle to go, fortunately in the nick of time a shout of thick oval saved the day ( talking of handles, Sam Billings now requests a 22mm handle!!!!!)

Bat at this stage weighed just over 2.9, still needed sanding, binding, grip, and stickers, so would go over 2.10. I was happy with it at this stage so i decided to see what it picked up like once gripped and before stickers.
Happy with the pick up, now to choose the stickers

Went with the powebow6x

And a custom back sticker as the bat was too big for the standard stickers

Finished weight

And finally the GN edge branding

Top day out, and a massive thanks to Alex, the bat is superb.

Some extra pics of the bat

Specs are, 2.11, 40mm edges, 71mm spine, no concaving, 42mm handle thickness inc grip

Thanks for the write up and all the pictures. Looks a lovely bat. Shame there is so long to wait until the season starts (plenty of air cricket in the meantime?). I assume you wont use it in indoor nets...

I made videos of the bat making as well, so if anyone can recommend an editor for an iphone or samsung laptop that would be great.

No, wont be used in indoor cricket/nets, will be used in matches only. Needs knocking in as well

Seems the bat off the shelf was one of Varun Chopra's.
