Great collection!

Original Powerbow and Predator were the bats that I cut my teeth on in the workshop. I would love to bring back an original Pred/P.Bow shape in original dimensions, not sure how well it would sell though.....

@thebigginge  - Alex, it is a blessing having you pop onto the forum occasionally (probably not for you!)

What's more fun to shape - a Dynadrive or a Nemesis?

And are the any Vortex's left?

The Predator would have at least two sales in 2.9 in London!!!!

A numbered (max 50 units) rerun would sell out I'm sure.

No Vortex left, I love making Dynadrives, and Nemesis are good fun as long as you have a stiff drink at the end of making them!

Also - happy to drop in every now and then and answer questions where I can.

you know, looking at those photos I think I owned a predator at some point in the early 2000s and had totally forgotten about it. If I recall correctly it was a total plank, despite being quite expensive at the time.

there was another one from that era - a Millenium I think? It had two small grooves out of the back.

Seems to be alot of interest in retro Grays,hope sentiment is reported back to Hq  by their esteemed craftsman who dips in and out of here......

I know the Kids love the bright graphics but the older denizens tend to spend the greater sums on the more classic ranges,i`m guessing,so hope GN can cater for all

I thought the Shockwave looked cool to be fair.
I've got a Woakes IPL edition because it looked like a kinda classical GN.

We recently hand an enquiry about making one, unfortunately we don't have the tooling to do these as a one off.

Great if you like a lightweight bat!
