Which models will they become? Liking the top one, kind of like a more flowing Solution shape.

I'd say that was an Oblivion. Very nice!

Gotta be a 3lber plus I'd have thought

Some ideas that I have been working on, hoping they'll be taken away by a few pro's for testing. All will finish under 2.10 with binding and grips.

[jonpinson]

They look great and if the size doesn't come down too much with the finishing they will be most impressive.

It's a real shame you are tied into company policy, otherwise you would have people queuing up try them.

You should set up a small side business

Totally agree....

I'd definitely want one

We are able to make all ranges in the UK, as long as we have the right quality of willow, we do all our work by hand

[Colesy]

Alex, what sort of quality do you make in the workshop in terms of 5 star - Limited Edition? I presume the lower models are Indian made?

[thebigginge]

We have a few makers down here, but we manufacture all over the world, UK,INDIA, AUSTRALIA and S.A

We can make all gradesin the uk, it is dependant on availability of willow, stock numbers, order specifications and client requirements

We do organise tours occassionaly

[Colesy]

Sounds like a good set-up. Since you've been on the forum my impression of GN has changed for the better

[thebigginge]

pm me if you want, no probs


glad to hear your views are changing

Have you any old test opener pads available mate the air cusion principle ones for the mid 90 i know it a long long shot and you do not deal with the public but worth a try mate

they are the best pad ever produced in my opinion even now....

Long shot i understand

[thebigginge]

Afraid not, the factory and warehouse have been flooded since then and we lost alot of stock when that happened, haven't got anything older then maybe 6/7 years and that will only be very rare, and as you correctly say, we don't deal direct with the public

Interesting to read your views, Alex.

I'm after Oblivion LE and Legend and Asad dropped at your factory on Thrusday and ordered these so I hope you make cracking sticks!

Do you mind if I ask how many makers do you have? I mean you'll be head so does it means you'll be making all top of the line bats such as LE, Legend etc by hands and rest will be making lower ends one ?

Was suprised to hear that all GN bats are handmade, you guys make soo many bats and it must require hell of a skills to make vast numbers by hands.

GN have always been my favorite but last year wasn't impressed with there models but this year Oblivion has got me!

[procricket]

I still think the test opener have been the most worn pads ever in test cricket ever test player of that generation of Gn wore Test opener i remember been taken to a sports shop aged 11 when i was bought a pair for getting into the district side 22 years ago...
