    Here is my review of a limited edition Gray-Nicolls Powerspot Test Opener supplied by Bill at bills_cricket_bats on Instagram. I have never confessed to being an expert on all models of bats so I continue to give you my opinion on the bat presented to me.

    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.

    Another nice looking GN. Those actual power spot stickers were always lifting and peeling. But definitely a happy memory to see it.
    The Powerspot was synonymous with Atherton on this side of the pond.

    My first real bat was a GN Powerspot...but I bought it from Kmart in 1992 and it was a Kim Hughes signature version. I was 11 and had no idea really who Kim Hughes was and it was coated in a strange white hard plastic. It was way too heavy because of the coating and I batted like a toddler because of it. Hopefully it is landfill somewhere - but likely still in its original condition and likely will still be the case for 10,000 years thanks to that coating.

      @@CricketBatInfo No worries. It was like a bit of cricket bat therapy. The more I think about it the more I realise that I must have bought an early 80's bat that was new/old stock at Bankstown Kmart in 1992. Live and learn

    A nice replica bat...the deep navy decals are a bit too dark for my liking but still a quality looking piece of willow.

    The first bat i ever bought when i was a 19 yo kid in Jamaica. It cost my whole paycheck and was useless. The dynadrive would have been a better option.

      Not every bat is a unicorn. I purchased a GN Megadrive and it was useless in my hands, but fine in another player’s. Middle as too low for me.

      Have not seen a SM for years, long before videos. Might be an old photo album on the Facebook page.
