Generally they are top, top bats I feel. In the past few weeks, since Alex has come on the forum, my opinions of GN have changed quite dramatically, I knew they churned out some great bats, but it seemed a lottery, these all look lovely sticks. Out of interest Asad, how many bats did you acquire when you were at their factory. If I had the money, I would be very tempted by one of the lower models on show here, purely as I am a cheapskate! :)

Mind you these low end GN do perform very well, my best performing bat so far is GN Powerbow 3 Star

that 2lb 8oz oblivion at the bottom is a big bat for the weight

I agree! Looks massive! Some Oblivion I have seen had big profiles as well!

Exactly Uzair. I used a Xiphos 4* Last year, had a decent knock around with it, got to 25 with some nice shots in there, seemed very responsive. Though it is all pot-luck when you go and buy from a shop... :|

My favorite is the Oblivion 5* in 2.8 with the darker heartwood (2nd from right)

Alex was saying on another thread that they are all made by hand in different workshops around the world.
