It's been a few months since I did a GN and it's nice to get get in a Gray-Nicolls Legend AU 2021-22 Cricket Bat to review. Many thanks to the owner for supporting the channel and sending it in for review.
It's an end of season stock bat and heavily discounted from its AU $1399 MRP. Specs were modest for the size, but I'm guessing it will still be a very effective tool in the middles as the clefts are graded by chief bat maker Stuart Kranzbuhler. The website no longer says individually hand-crafted by Stuart, but I'm sure they haven't got high school work experience students on the drawknives.
Interestingly I did, contact GN recently to offer to review their bats directly and see if I could get early access but they passed this time. Once the subscribers are in their tens of thousands they will no doubt reconsider (hehe).
an issue with this edit is that I cannot access the 4k footage, so the 1080p 60 fps is all I can edit. still having teething issues with the new setup.
Finally, the 10000 K Subscriber HR Sports Giveaway Bat and gloves with free Australian Shipping can only be entered via the link below. Commenting on this video or any others for that bat will not be considered a valid entry.
I made Cricket Bat Stickers with Lightburn and I'm giving the bat away at 10K Subscribers!

I do this as a hobby and I do not make any money doing this or get paid to create the videos. So owners of the bats cover the return freight costs of bats sent in and I do not always accept a bat for a variety of reasons and do not run a bat knocking service as the time it takes to create content is considerable.
All videos are owned by CricketBatInfo. All views are that of the owner and are based on a one-off experience from an individual bat and not a whole range or brand.

Thank you for putting so much work in reviewing the bats. The best part is the details that u share. Thanks again

[@CricketBatInfo]

No problem. Look forward to bringing everyone more reviews for as long as I enjoy doing these.

[@kamadowoah4584]

I've got a legend with worse grains than that and it still flies. Stuart k usually knows what he's doing. Great vid as usual Marc.

[@CricketBatInfo]

Yep, quality bat maker

[@CricketBatInfo]

Hi All, after Amlan Karmakar's comment I reached out to GN and they confirmed that the bat cover supplied with the bat was the wrong one. The red one is a standard range cover and a black padded cover similar to the one I have is normally supplied with a Legend. Kingsgrove's mistake.

[@eligray3291]

I bought a legend from kingsgrove and I also got the standard red cover

[@spartan187]

I subscribed waiting for bat😀, bat definitely looks awesome, nice analysis

[@CricketBatInfo]

There's a giveaway on a different video. Appreciate the feedback on this video.

Looks a belter really like the look of the Aussie gn’s

[@CricketBatInfo]

Thanks Liam. Always look forward to your comments

[@MichaelChunnz]

Nice video Marc. For a grade 1 & class A bespoke bat that price was solid. Ohh to be a collector of top-end bats, I'd be too tempted to use them all though!

[@CricketBatInfo]

Agree Michael. That said if I had the money to buy bats that would mean I was in front of my living expenses and debts too. Great hobby buying bats.

[@MichaelChunnz]

@@CricketBatInfoIt would be a nice hobby right...although if I was a collector I think I'd collect old-school vintage bats instead of current bats...the older the better...but that just me.

[@grantcarncross5380]

Really nice bat, GN Australia, always produce a high quality product, the price the owner got it for, is a good one.

[@CricketBatInfo]

Thanks for commenting Grant. Bat screams quality

[@tima4707]

My legend bat just showed up. Only has 6 grains. Crazy how dif they can be. But is near flawless, really nice and clean look

[@chivan1993]

Great vid Marc

Wow that was quick.

Great review

Thankyou

[@stevenroger2554]

Kingsgrove employs a lot young ones who unfortunately doesn’t know what they are doing. (Oiling/knocking in) had a new bat that they put the extra tec on wrong so it was pulled off with the grain so some willow came off. Store manager offered 10% off.

[@CricketBatInfo]

That sucks. I have some vids they can watch 😝

[@kartikpatel24]

Thanks!

[@CricketBatInfo]

Wow. My first Super Thanks. It didn’t show in the KZbin Management App. Thankyou so much Kartik! This will help me with the channel. Keep an eye out in a future review because I will be mentioning your contribution to the channel.

[@kartikpatel24]

It is my pleasure to help . I love your channel and specially the honesty you bring to the table is to be commended!! #majorkudos

[@vijaynarsapur147]

What's a good bat for openers? Specifications please. Also recommend a make and model. Thanks.

[@karmakaramlan]

I have the same legend and bought it in November / December 21. I kind of feel the handle is a bit narrow, so use double grip to get a better feeling. I also got the black padded cover. The less cost probably suffice for the red cover for this bat

[@CricketBatInfo]

That’s interesting Amlan. Maybe Kingsgrove supplied the wrong cover? Love to query this

[@CricketBatInfo]

spot on. pinned a update comment.

[@karmakaramlan]

Thanks mate. Kingsgrove supplied the black cover to me back last year Anyway, always enjoy your reviews.

[@jacsmithwilliams1083]

Out of all the bats you have reviewed what bat comes closest to being your unicorn? I no it's off topic to this video. I've got a legend with 15 or 16 grains and it pings after 3 years still but looking for a new bat this season

[@CricketBatInfo]

I don’t believe in unicorns 🦄🤪

[@jacsmithwilliams1083]

@@CricketBatInfo haha I reckon I've only ever had 1 and the bat broke and un repairable and never been close again haha

[@drvikramgg]

Please do u have the review or unboxing of the legend gold Australian made?

[@CricketBatInfo]

Check the playlists on the main page. Cannot remember. Probably had one before I started doing videos

Hi Marc, a few of my bats starting to get abit of mould, alot of wet weather, any suggestions to clear it of the bats, if anyone as any ideas.

[@CricketBatInfo]

Bleach is the best for killing mould in the bathroom. Where are you? In the tropics. Bats are getting exposed to water or humidity. Only seen mould on bats left outside in the rain.

[@grantcarncross5380]

@@CricketBatInfo Hi Marc, we have had so much rain in Sydney, like never before, GN scoop and dyna drive, left in GN full bat covers. Got them out, and I was shocked to find small spots of mould on the face back and sides. Can only put it down to everything being so damp, a few of my team mates also have had the same problem.

[@grantcarncross5380]
