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 or refurb service as the time it takes to create content is considerable.

Love this channel !

[@johnnybgood9913]

Another great review, keep up the good work.

[@CricketBatInfo]

Thanks mate

[@alexrathers4592]

Great vid as always. I love that bat! Ticks all my boxes that one. Wish I was a 15 year old Aussie. Doh!

[@CricketBatInfo]

Thanks for the feedback Alex

[@seanknot]

I've got big hands, from years of armwrestling. I really like the thin almost round handles. the ultimate 2'10 was really well balanced, pick up and swing was easy.

[@MichaelChunnz]

Sounds good!

[@CricketBatInfo]

Yep. It does. Not as good as my ultimate hehe.

[@CricketBatInfo]

just noticed issue on the Alpha thubnail. I actually fixed it and then must have uploaded the earlier video. d'oh! i was in a rush

[@Jaymz001]

I've got a 2-9 and it feels light. Probably because I grew up oiling my bat every year and standing the toe in oil for a couple of days. 😂

[@CricketBatInfo]

Hahahahaha

I have prestige and love it. Mine it a lot bigger than this on the edges though. Out of curiosity how did it tap up as opposed to other so called top line bats. I just made a custom order through grey nicolls and there grading system confuses me. What does grade a select, finest and players mean ? Is it just varying levels of first grade ? I only ask cause my current grey nicolls seems to have better grain structure than most top end/expensive bats from other companies? Are the other manufactures just a rip of or are the Australian made gray nicolls just great value ? Cheers

[@CricketBatInfo]

sorry i was in hospital when you sent this. GN Australia is quality and the manufacturing in India is regularly checked for quality control. either make a decent bat, but the aussie hand made series are class. As far as grains, looking in shops at the end of a season during sales will not show any brand in a positive light. GN Aust willow is graded on appearance, rebound and density. a presitge will not be as balanced or dense as the Silver, etc. All GN willow goes to India and thenm GN Australia go over there to select the willow. as far as other brands, I cannot condense huindred of reviews into a few prargraphs. watch and make your own judgment.

I use jpgavan and I have a 2 pound 10 ounce bat and it’s really nice and I’m 15

[@CricketBatInfo]

Sweet. I was concerned for him.

[@eazye600]

Gray Nicolls can't get their stickers to hold on the splice at the back on all models. I mentioned this last week Marc and you would have noticed the sticker on the back.

[@CricketBatInfo]

I don’t think this one had any issues.

[@eazye600]

@@CricketBatInfo Marc, you can see at 3:27 the sticker is lifting

[@darren1797]

Man that is heavy. I didn't like to feel the bat at all. I wanted it to feel like an extension on my arms.

[@CricketBatInfo]

I think i sort of arrived at the same point in the video. Makes online purchasing difficult tbh

[@liamgriffiths3911]

Looks so much nicer than the gn you reviewed last week, like chalk and cheese . Why are you getting such different bats from the same maker

[@CricketBatInfo]

Channel is supported by bat owners, not brands. I can say no and just not have any content

[@liamgriffiths3911]

You misunderstood my comment what I mean is why is the same brand ie gn putting out two bats of what appear to be very differing quality

[@CricketBatInfo]

Two factories. One in India and one in Australia. UK no longer manufacture their retail bats in the UK and have not done so for years. Same variations can be seen in other industries that do this. Is a Chinese Tesla as good as one made in the USA?

[@CricketBatInfo]

I also think humidity may be impacting the finish. Tbh i may just ask Stuart himself
