GRAY NICOLLS OBLIVION STEALTH JUNIOR CRICKET BAT
One of Gray Nicoll’s most iconic ranges makes a welcome return and the latest addition to a bat family steeped in the brand’s history, the ‘Oblivion Stealth’ is back to reprise its’ role as the sharpest blade in the Gray-Nicolls range.
Shaped and contoured for quick hand speed, but with minimal concaving and an explosive mid-to-low swell, the Oblivion allows the player to play touch shots without compromising power.
Whether hitting the boundary or surgically dissecting the field, you can head to the middle confident that the Stealth is a force to be reckoned with in all formats of the game.
True to its’ ancestry, the Oblivion sports a slick set of chrome stickers, with a repeat pattern of hexagons that sweep elegantly down the blade, exaggerating the sublime characteristics of the profile and enhancing the bat’s sense of purpose.
The Oblivion Stealth is elegant and powerful and uses modern day technology to create an awesome range of cricket bats, especially the hand selected Romida ones.
