Review of Gray Nicolls Millennium

Gray Nicolls Millennium

Advantages: good stroke play,midium weighted
Disadvantages: as for others also....initial punching required

...I have found that, over the years, the name gray nicholls is synonymous with quality and they certainly live up to this title with this bat, made to celebrate the millennium. The class of the company is noticed when one considers the number of international cricketers around the globe that endorse their products. In this bat they, once again, manage to get a good pick up and balance, something I find quite hard to find, especially on slazenger and newbury bats. One also has the option of being able to customise where you want the middle, for example, lower down if you intend to play on damp soft pitches, or higher up if the grounds are harder and somewhat bouncier. In addition, gray nicholls offer an oval handle, which makes it a lot easier to play straight down the line of the ball, as this is the natural motion, so in theory this...

Good Woodworm Cricket Bat for a Junior/Beginner

Advantages: Value for money
Disadvantages: Not the best quality

...I recommended this bat to a brother of mine, a beginner, with not much experience of the game. I recommened this bat because of its value for money, as a junior or beginner, you don't want to be paying too much money for a bat, as it is all about fun, and not being too serious. As for the bat itself, you get what you pay for, you know when you pay around £20 your not going to get the best bat ever, but for a junior or beginner to the game it would be excellent due to its durability and weight. The bat my brother bought still exists now, well worn but he still uses it to this day, around a year or two ago when he bought it, he likes it and hes picky! In review i recommend this bat to all it fits, and i hope this has helped you all in the search of a new cricket bat. Regards, mrcricket....

Review of Woodworm Junior Bronze Mega Bite Cricket Bat

MY favourite bat

Advantages: Sweet wood
Disadvantages: breaks

...**Introduction** I need to start off by categorically stating that I am not a fan whatsoever of gray nicolls bats. I believe they are very average and are made to look so good because matt hayden and andy symonds use these bats, hence the publicity, as these two players are some of the worlds greatest! However, I heard that the bat had a good middle, so I purchased one at a reduced cost and starting using the bat for a few nets! **Preparation** I prepared the bat very well, knocking in throughly and oiling well. This process took me a long time, but I hoped that by the end, I would have a good bat! Whilst knocking in, a process which I did for about eight hours altogether, I was pleasantly surprised with the result. The bat seemed to have a very good middle and a decent toe, which was essential for the type of pitches that I...

beast of a bat

Advantages: a really nice middle
Disadvantages: Kashmir Willow

...LOOKS This Bat in my view is one of the best looking bats around and has not got to much pictures on the bat like the Kookaburra angry beast. I think the blue and red go very well together and really look good. Even the grip fits in with the style having blue slashes on it done by "the beast". The beast itself is not overdone but it still noticeable from a distance. I think the fact that the wood is unbleached giving it a more white effect looks better for it's style than a darker wood. I love the looks because you can really show the bat off and not worry about being seen bating with it. POWER The middle on this bat is awesome you can hit a cricket ball miles and you really know when you have caught it right. As for the bat itself it is very forgiving of bad shots and has a lot of power. The bat has great power considering it is...

Review of kookabura little beast cricket bat

Gray Nicholls- a cut above the rest?

Advantages: glorious bat in the hands with a great middle
Disadvantages: quite a heavy bat requires good strength and speed

...In my experience of Gray-Nicholls bats there has been a mixed bag, Gray Nicholls rate all their bats with stars and the rating is from one to 5 (5 being the best) now I have used a 3 star bat right up to the 5 star ones and i'll tell you now that if you want to be the batsman of the season and hit 100's of runs then the bat to get is a Gray-Nicholls with a 5 star rating. Many top international and county players use them and they perform time and time again. Most of their bats are made in England with premium english willow anyway which automatically makes them a cut above the rest. The bat is the trademark bat of Michael Atherton remade and is perfect for guiding the ball around the ground for 4's and can also be used by the more attacking batsman to hit that ball for six. The bat is on the heavier end of the scale although it feels...

Review of Gray Nicolls Excalibur

The gray nicholls millenium

Sweet Sixes Taste Delicious,Funny How Far They Fly with CA Power!

Advantages: Good weight, durable, Higher middle, good value
Disadvantages: protective cover can crack on the bat edges

...break over time at the edges so it may have to be secured by a few layers of cricket bat tape. A standard toe cover can also be used to add extra protection. Comfort /Style The bat has a relatively slim handle, which may not be ideal for everyone. If this is the case you may have to double up and add another grip. The original grip is of a very high quality and lasts a very long time and is fixed very well to the handle. The color scheme of the bat allows for a wide variety of replacement grips as there are a few very compatible designs which seem as though they are the original. The bat stickers are also very well designed and the bat is easy on the eye, it is aesthetically pleasing. But the Power label on the front face is the main course. The word power can have a psychological affect on the opposition especially if you are...

Review of CA Power Cricket Bat

Maximuscle Viper Orange - YUK!

Advantages: Erm.........could work if you can stomach the taste, informative, easy to understand.
Disadvantages: Tastes bad, rather expensive. Tastes really bad.

...Maximuscle Viper is an energy drink powder. Maximuscle Viper is a very bad tasting energy drink powder. Maximuscle Viper is a very bad tasting, overpriced energy drink powder. i bought this product about a year ago from JJB sports for £17.99, (its still lying around somewhere, thats how bad it tastes!) as a supplement to have before a workout to give me that little extra boost. It does not do that. If anything the only muscles you use, or want to use after this, is your oesophagus to yak it back up! Whats more, when i did manage to stomach it, it doesnt do anything! Now, it comes with instructions on what concentrations to use for certain times, eg. before, during and after exercise. If you go by this, the product will probably last a week. Not good seeing as it costs almost 20 quid. your better off making your own one from...

Review of Maximuscle Viper - Orange

Power and quality for a decent price

Advantages: Good for power hitting, value for money
Disadvantages: Not so good for 'touch' players

...A few years back, Woodworm were THE cricket supplier. Providing gear to the likes of Andrew Flintoff and Kevin Pietersen, their stuff was in demand from every youngster taking up the game. However, it soon became clear that the company may have bitten off a little more than they could chew with their costly sponsorships outstripping profits. They went under and the brand name has now resurfaced under the ownership of online sports equipment supplier, the Sports HQ. (www.thesportshq.com) As a result, it is now possible to pick up a number of bats at very reasonable prices. I plumped for the Gold (they have Bronze, Silver and Gold available, which vary in line with the grade of willow used to make the bat, with Gold being Grade 1 English Willow) Mega Bite, which used to be Freddie Flintoff's choice of bat. This bat comes...
