Be at the core of a cricket revolution with the Gray-Nicolls NEOCORE Pro Cricket Bat in Black/Red, an innovative new bat with an astoundingly lightweight pickup.

Four years in the making, the NEOCORE gives players of every level the opportunity to play with a “Pro Shape”. It’s two innovations in one. First, the handle design, which replaces the traditional splice with a pinned handle, creating an extremely strong, rigid joint. Then, the cored internal scoop that gives the bat its name. Together, those two features shift the distribution of mass higher up the bat, making it feel significantly lighter in the hand. That’s what produces the outstanding pickup, and that’s what makes the NEOCORE so accessible. Where such a full, convex profile would previously have demanded some serious arm strength to wield effectively, now it’s easily manoeuvrable for any cricketer. Performance-wise, the effect is faster bat speed and increased control, with reduced bat twisting on ball impact. So, you get more power on big swings and more accuracy on every shot – whatever your style of play, that’s going to benefit your game.
