Full Description

Gray Nicolls Neocore 500 Cricket Bat

Innovation that changes the game. The new NEOCORE technology improves cricket bat pick up and weight distribution, ensuring bigger edges, thicker shoulders and a fuller profile than ever before; all with a performance that has to be felt to be believed.

With full, convex profile from spine to toe, players at all levels will be able to play with a “Pro Shape”. The Neocore will pick up an oz or two lighter than the scale weight.

Club cricketers – you can now get access to professional shapes thanks to new NEOCORE technology, featuring new and patented handle design and innovative cored internal scoop.
