Karun Nair just broke the record for most runs scored in list A before being dismissed.

What a player. Stickered up with a neocore.

Weird way for Warner's bat to break today. Can't see how a cane handle would split like this, is he using Neocore badged up as a Kaboom?

I'm pretty sure I've seen some cane handles break like that on TV and in person - also the Neocore handle is made of cane as well.

Yeah, seen plenty break straight across. As with willow, cane is a natural product and can have hidden faults, weaknesses. No fault of GN, it happens

Now we are well into "Netting Season", anyone used a neocore in anger?

Any feedback? How does it feel in the hand, response, sound, result?

Definitely not GNs fault, it was one of his old DSCs restickered. No GN branding on the edges was the main giveaway and he got some stickers in the back oriented the wrong way.

Was at Serious today, got a chance to pick up a Neocore, balance was awesome. It weighed 2.10, genuinely felt 2.7/2.8. Handle is thicker than usual towards the blade, but because I hold slightly higher didn’t make a difference to me. Very chunky bat and full profile. Really good concept and now at the top of my wanted list. Would like to have a hit with it to check the response. For those interested it was the Neocore 500. Serious also have 20% off at the moment.

Meuleman's in Australia have just released the GN Air, which is similar to the Neocore but has a normal handle/splice. Still has a hole drilled out the middle from the splice down

It's in line with what they've done in the past I believe with the hollow core technology - the hole is not as large as the Neocore, hence why they can splice it normally. I believe their Ultimate 1000s used this too. Hunts have also been doing this in the past, and may still do

Cheers Chad - wasn't aware it's been done before. Was wondering if it was something GN had tinkered with following a few handles breaks on the Neocore!
