I played cricket for 30 years or so and never had a GN. Didnt appeal to me. Light bats, sponsoring the safe captains etc

However, my son gets GN stuff at a considerable discount and I have been so impressed with their bats. We have/had 3 - powerbow, players, and hypernova. All of them are great. The powerbow and players off the charts.

Where they fall down is A) everything is at arms length re seeing them, although customer service is 10/10. Superb. and B) their neither 'cool' or 'classic' with their branding. Its a bit of a mass market appeal stuck on their traditional message. Not one thing or another.

Purely for nostalgia that’s a bit of me and is certainly in with a chance of my 1 bat but per season to go into my non WW selection

Maybe I need to show off my purchases !

I love my GN have one of Rizwans Alex made a couple xxx Stu made a Pro performance which is mental and of course one of James Taylor’s.

I have been collecting them over the last few months topped off with a Shaun Marsh Replica. (Great profile) if you know what I mean.

Overall impressed with the Indian,English, and Aus made

Sure to trigger discussions in their 23/ 24 season.

Why?? Why take wood out of the middle where you want to hit  the ball more often than not?

Brian Lara did fine with the Scoop in his 375. Weight distribution - there is still sufficient mass down there, and it will pick up very light I suspect

The GN classic range is the best offering from any of the established brands in my option.  The gold powerspot looks a great addition to the range

Tempesta — seems to be the Vapour, Hypernova shape with new stickers?

I thought essentially a restickered Hypernova. Nice enough shape but not enough to inspire a purchase. Have found the GM bats a lot more attractive in recent years.
