	Thanks for the pics JP, much appreciated. I am yet to understand bat companies obsession with lime green. It isn't the most attractive colour in the world Scotty

	Lime Green is a Great Colour!! I guess Gray Nicolls are just replacing the Longbow with this bat. Since Longbow is almost gone here in Aus.

	As far as I know it was never intended to replace the longbow, nor to become a mainstream bat. It will be a while before we see these on the shelves, if at all according to people I've talked to in cricket shops around the place. Unfortunate though, as i wouldn't mind ownign something with edges and a blade like that =). Additionally, I would disagree that longbow is almost gone here in Aus, I still bowl at plenty of them, and have owned one not to long ago.

	Hey Guys, I am new to this forum. Have been reading the posts for a couple of weeks. Find it very interesting and informative. Thinking of buying a new bat. Wondering about GN powerbow. looking for a light bat. any suggestions??

	Hey there Crackton, What are your preferences when it comes to a bat? If you like the bowed blades you could look at any number of Indian bats that would be just as good or better than the Powerbow, and cost less.

	Hey clobber, I am looking at a light bat with thick edges with a bow. I know of a guy here who will sell GN bats for cost price ( around $180 US). He likes to promote the game here in the US and is an authorized GN stockist. Do U have any info on Woodworm? Iam not too keen on Indian made bats.

	Most Woodworm bats are made in India by SS Sunridges....

	HUH. didnt know that. Somehow I am attracted to the new shape of that bat. I am pretty positive I wont be able to find a dealer here. As I understand they are hard to get even in the UK

	You could always drop them an email and ask if they have a stockist in the USA Edited by Clobber

	well a mate of mine in Aussie just got a GN Fusion Players, it is 2'9, but feels like 2'6 according to him. It has a carbon handle...pings like a gun, and very very expensive! Its shape reminds me off the standard Heritage range of Laver and Wood.
