I think he moved back a while ago to standard SH unless he changed again recently

Broad May be talking from the past ..

I think littoral to no benefit at recreational level .. if you can bat you can bat with most bats �

You do have a preference for sure , you like some more than others

It might be of more relevance to point out that if you can't bat...?

.....then spend your money on coaching, practice and get better. A very un-CBF take I know!

Or in less polite terms: stop acting like a (No Swearing Please).

The bat you sold me serves my requirements very well, Jonny lad.

Have any of the bat makers on this forum tried to do anything funky with bat handles in the past?

Broad also said Root liked a SB/LH set-up. Root previously said on Sky that he had moved on from this and reverted to conventional.

In my experience, most cricketers are curious about other brands and bats, even though they are sponsored by a specific brand.
When International teams play over here, in India, in Aus, I;m sure that some will visit different brands and will sometimes purchase a bat! We would all do the same given the chance! As bat lovers on here, that would be most of our dreams!!
But it doesn't mean that all batsmen then sticker up the bat they found from another brand and use them. I'm sure it happens but not as often as we like to think.
I have a bat made for Root (marginally shorter blade and longer handle) by another bat maker. So most cricketers enjoy going to see bats. What a job!!

And I suspect that most County and International batsmen are quite hard to change! Most seem to have very specific requirements when it comes to their bat and other kit.
Most are pretty superstitious too - hence Broad wearing his headband, and tales of batsmen wearing certain batting shorts or pants, as that's what they wore when they hit a double ton, etc!
And you hear of some batsmen having a long list of what their bat should be! So I imagine that trying to persuade a batsman to change to an entirely new concept of bat wouldn't be easy in most cases!
Us mere mortals on the other hand - any new concept that may improve our batting and we are all over it like a rash!
Has anyone seen any reviews on one of these bats yet? The last 3 GN bats I have in my collection have all been absolutely fantastic, so am interested to see a review - will be keeping an eye on YouTube and this forum for a review!

Lots of new GN Stratos and Ventus bats on show in the Eng vs Pk Test, but no Neocore stickered ones as far as I have seen. Gems seen at the Womens T20 WC.

Wonder who will wield the first Neocore on the Test arena. Also, wonder who will use a neo-Scoop in FC cricket? (is anyone using one in the Australian FC domestic circuit yet?)

Neocore labels are only applied to Neocore bats. We haven't applied Neocore labels to non-neocore product. While we have been testing them they have been labeled as other things, but players who have them now are labeled as Neocore

Shan Masood is the most likely to use one in red ball as he's used them alot over the past 18 months or so. But he has some excellent bats alongside his neo so we will see.

Crawley/Brook/Rizwan/Babar all have them.

Thanks Alex, that's really interesting to know. Great to see so many pros showing interest in the new technology. Can't wait for the first independent reviews of the new tech.

Looks like the Stratos today has had a meteoric rise, reaching new heights in Harry Brooks' hands, proving the sky is not the limit! 😁
