MegaPower and Xiphos look incredible. Will be interesting to get a Xiphos and see if much has changed from the ones in the past. Looking like a good solid release from GN in the retro department - unsure about the Hypernova seemingly replacing the Vapour rather than the Alpha - seeing as everyone seemed to want to get their hands on a Vapour, even up here, but maybe it wasn't as popular as I thought.



New softs are up my street for the Classic range. :)

Now, if only we had a nerd of a batmaker who works at GN and enjoys being on the forum to share more about the release... :-[

Softs do look the business. Have they been tested as per PPE legislation?

Apart from Aldred telling the public it’s a major issue and he’s only one of two suppliers that can sell softs in near figure , is it an issue ?

Neon cricket will know ? Can you sell softs in future without paying for all the testing ?

Can remember going to a cricket sale at Headingley Cricket Ground with my Dad as a kid and getting a Megapower. I absolutely loved that bat, so brings back memories.

However, I'd kind of really like an original over a repro one but it does look nice. Might scour Ebay instead!

Have to say I am one of those that preferred the vapour livery... the hypernova design isn't bad just that I prefer the vapour over it

Yeah as Jonny says it's not something that'll be discussed in public, at least for now. A lot of moving parts.

I remember in the past, GN used to be one of those rare brands who did LB/LH variants of their bats as standard offering across grades. Does anyone know if its still the case?

Surprised they haven't kept the Vapour around, it seems much more preferred over the Alpha.
