I agreed, I was certainly tempted to make an offer on this one when it was with me for a refurbishment!

Nice quality bat - light but with plenty of life and power for the size!
Anyway a slightly older Gray Nicolls to follow in a few minutes!

BAT 7 - Gray Nicolls Longbow

This is a long handle and weighs in at 2'11.
It's more traditional profile but feels a reasonable pick-up.
Nice willow and carbo handle too by the looks of it.
New and unused and may as well keep it like that I reckon!
Please also note that I am now using a nice Egyptian Cotton towel to add a little 'softness' to the pics! Granted, it's nowhere near as nice as the fluffy rug I used to have, but it will do as a temporary measure!

I like that longbow, very nice profile on it.

Im not sure about choice bats, they seem to have alot of wood in the middle and weak spots elsewhere!

Pete are you going to do every bat you own?

I am contemplating it - as long as people want to see them?

Of course, especially some of those rarer ones.

Ok - will try to do another one tonight!

Titanium handle on the GN methinks

Will take your word for it!

Next is a 'banned' Kookaburra!

BAT 8 - Kookaburra Beast Graphite

Weighing 2'12 with a good pickup and 7 grains.
I believe these are banned in mosy forms of the game due to the Graphite backing which adds to the power.
This is another that I don't intend to use, as it's more of a collectors bat.
As such, I haven't had a knock with it, or even done a mallet 'ping' test on!
Love the back of the bat on this - great graphics!
