Muyeye is your starter for 1!

His one was stickered up last night....wonder how many are hiding under Tempesta, Shockwave, Gem, etc stickers.

Also wondering if this will be winging it's way down under or other territories soon (happy to have it here only in England until after the Ashes tour though  :D)

So no splice then? The handle slots into the internal scoop?

What if the bat requires a handle replacement? Won't it have to be sent back to GN? That is going to be a deterrent, especially for people outside the UK.

Has there been any suggestion the bats will ping more ? I think it’s suggested a wider sweetspot ?

As expected, looks like Tammy B was using a stickered Neocore this afternoon

I saw feedback they will be stiffer

What does that translate to in real life play ?

I’m not sure they relationship between stiffness and ping is linear.

Think it's exciting to see a manufacturer try and innovate.

I've never owned a GN bat and as soon as I say I dont need another bat, GN do this...

From gray nics instagram:

NEOCORE will be available alongside our new 24/25 core range in November, both online and at our trusted retail partners.
The bat will be available at three price-points: £699.99, £549.99 and £349.99.


Suppose they have to recoup their R&D costs in the price of these, I did think they might be lower than that though given they've said they're able to use clefts that would not otherwise be usable for these? For comparison the Ollie Pope pro spec replicas which went on the site a couple of weeks ago are £599.99

It's slightly disappointing that bats have gone up another 15-20% and realistically they've only bored out a cleft so can we really blame R&D costs for the increase? I appreciate things cost more and by no means am I bashing GN but I just worry our game (amateurs) is falling foul to brands paying obscene amounts of money to contracted pro players like in golf...

Saying this, I am genuinely excited to get my hands on one of these as a lover of all things new tech in sport so I guess I'll pays me money....

As long as performance and durability aren't affected I think it's great.
