Gray Nicolls Cricket Bats

All You Need to Know About Gray Nicolls' Powerspot Cricket Bat

Posted On September 3, 2020 by VKS

Gray Nicolls is one of the oldest and most famous cricket equipment manufacturing companies across the globe. The brand is synonymous with power, elegance, trust and quality in the world of cricket. The company is most well-known for its cricket bat collections such as the Legend, Classic, Oblivion Stealth, Powerbow Inferno and  Shockwave. Recently, the company brought back one of its older cricket bats – the Powerspot, after giving it a modern makeover. 

The iconic bat has been involved in making many memorable stories on the pitch with cricket heavyweights such as Michael Atherton, David Gower and Robin Smith. Michael Atherton, a former captain of England’s cricket team, has, in fact, used the Powerspot for most of his career. His inspiration for choosing the bat was Gower, who played a little before him. Among the most memorable matches that Atherton played with the Powerspot was the 1995 Test match, in which he was facing South African fast bowler Alan Donald. Donald was playing at his aggressive best, but Atherton was also using his Powerspot skilfully, blending force with accuracy. Atherton faced 492 balls over 693 minutes. The match was a draw with Atherton at 185, not out. 

It’s time for the Powerspot to make new stories now. The new Powerspot, made from top quality English willow, retains many of the features of its older descendant, but its features have been improved for the modern game. The bat has the classic red and white branding of Gray Nicolls in the form of a shoulder-to-toe sticker along with the bold black and white check near the shoulder. But on the swell of the bat, you will find the brilliant blue Powerspot graphics. The bat has a large middle which is excellent for making power-packed shots. 

The large mid-blade swell of the bat works in the favour of players of all styles; the expansive sweet spot helps in packing extra power in all shots. The pickup of the bat is smooth and it is surprisingly lightweight given its size. The junior bats weight between 2lb 1oz – 2lb 6oz and the senior bats weight between 2lb 7oz – 2lb 12oz. The bat is not on the expensive side and is perfect for players of all levels.

Gray Nicolls Players Cricket Bat

Posted On August 21, 2020 by VKS

Gray Nicolls is among the oldest manufacturers of cricket equipment, having been in this industry from the second half of the 19th century! It is not surprising that they have their finger on the pulse of the game and a large fan following in not only English, but the rest of the world as well. They have been customizing their products according to the changing game trends, and they have also been trendsetters in the industry because of their continuous innovation in the equipment to make it more performance-oriented and long-lasting. This blog is dedicated to one of our favourite Gray Nicolls bats – The Gray Nicolls Players Cricket Bat.

The Gray Nicolls Players Cricket Bat is a part of the brand’s classic collection. It is one of their top-selling bats and its design has remained unchanged from 2018. The bat has been made with exceptional quality English willow that is durable and gives the bat its spring. The looks of the bat are simple yet sophisticated. The name of the brand on a bold red sticker across the blade and complemented by the class silver and black check pattern looks quite elegant. The colours also go very well with the white grip of the bat. 

The mid-blade profile of the bat is suited for all playing styles – the precise and cautious shots as well the power-packed punches. The thick edges and the steep spine are particularly good for forceful shots that send the ball flying across the field. The bat gives the players a sustained sweet spot across the blade which helps them in delivering the kind of shots they have planned with ease. The concaved sculpting of the bat adds to its performance and also helps in giving the players a smooth pickup.

The semi-oval handle of the bat offers a comfortable grip and added control to the batsman. All in all, the bat has some excellent features which make it a powerful bat worth investing in. The bat is available in the following sizes – 5, 6, Harrow and Short. VKS is also giving an excellent discount offer on the bat for a limited period of time.
