THE
ULTIMATE IMPACT

Returning once again for 2020, The Powerspot is a bat which was made famous by the likes of David Gower, Michael Atherton and a square-cutting Robin Smith, features the iconic blue Powerspot, designed to give the ultimate impact when the ball is struck in the middle of the bat.
The former England captain, Michael Atherton, used a Powerspot for most of his Gray-Nicolls career. “I can’t really remember using anything other than a Powerspot” said Atherton. “Maybe right at the end of my career, but it was Powerspot from the word go and then pretty much throughout.”
And his inspiration for choosing to use the Powerspot? The institution that is David Gower. “I chose Gray-Nicolls because Gower used them. Although he played a bit before me, we overlapped a little and he used the Powerspot, so that’s why I chose to use it too.”
The new bat promises a fantastic pick-up, with rounded edges and even weight distribution. Hit the ball out of the Powerspot and you can be sure to leave bowlers feeling the heat and fielders chasing dust.
Yet again another Gray-Nicolls icon has returned to the worldstage and is sure to be a hit with generations old and new.
