Hunts Turbo was the original. They then started doing it on all their bats. They may still do, although much of their own brand range is thought to be imported.

Anyone seen a neocore used in their club games yet? I'm a bit surprised that I've not.

Amusingly I was speaking with the person that runs my local cricket shop, who was saying they keep getting phone calls from people asking them to check the shoulder stamps of all the GN bats they have in stock, because 'apparently some particular stamp means it's a belter'  :D they declared it to be a load of rubbish because they're all made in India now anyway...
They said people were after a union Jack stamp, I thought Alex's stamp was an H

This is the problem when Instagram/social media or the likes of CBF declare something to be the new must have. Causes issues for retailers and people wasting their time.

I've probably lost days of my life dealing with people looking for 45mm splice measurement and 20mm shoulders, as then they won't get shoulder damage. Or some other similar very questionable request 😆

Tell me more about this bat you have... and you have managed to keep it to 2.8... 🤣

So none of you have made a purchase yet ? NEOCORE,s sold
in Australia are imported,  made in India, they are a full profile with a longer blade length & a short, thick 5 cork handle, thin top edge but a much bigger middle with big sloping shoulders, a thick toe, a front front driver's bat, right up to when you hit where the internal core starts, that's where performance drops off, the bat sound is even hollow & vibration is noticeable, still waiting for this bat to compress with more use, not sure how sales will go here, serious collectors will buy them,  no doubt.

I’ve got at uk market Neocore
It doesn’t pick up that light to be honest, 2.14 and picks up like it.
 I’ve even tried taking a bit of weight off the toe but still not great now.
Tried one in Talent cricket and the pick up was 3 or 4 oz lighter than the scale.

It sounds terrible with the hollow sound when using it against the bowling machine balls.

Maybe I got a bad one of the bunch 🫤
