PLAYERS
The best 12% of the tree. Mainly white
willow with some minor pin-marks or blemishes.
Excellent rebound performance quality, clean
strike zone, slight unevenness in grain structure
are tolerated.
5 STAR
The best 40% of the tree. Up to 50%
red willow (which comes from the heart of the
tree and is favoured by many of our international
players). Strong performing blade with minor
strike zone blemishes and some deviation in
grain structure tolerated. Bats with very narrow
grains (particularly those with a red edge) are
more likely to have some inconsistency in grain
structure (evenness and straightness).
All other models are made from the remaining
willow which is all grown, felled and processed
exclusively by Gray-Nicolls.

HELMETS
Gray-Nicolls were the first manufacturer to
secure the endorsement of both the Australian
and British standard institutes. With these
standards being reviewed, we have ensured
they continue to meet the requirements of
todays game and have developed a new range
of helmets designed to give the batsman
confidence at the crease.
helmets
Gray-Nicolls helmets are light, comfortable and most
importantly safe. Our new fixed Apex grille has been
designed to give the player maximum coverage and
vision from a factory fitted grille. A contoured
reinforced peak has also been designed to combat
the fastest bowlers and allow the batsman to be fully
focused on the battle between bat and ball.
