About this bat

The Gray Nicolls Havoc Gen 1.0 Test is built for destruction. A full-profile modern shape with a long sweeping bow, offset edge profile and enlarged sweet spot — engineered for players who want explosive bat speed and boundary-clearing power. The Havoc is one of GN's most aggressive designs, built for the demands of modern limited-overs batting across all formats.

The blade features a mid blade with exaggerated spine and offset edges, creating a large hitting zone with a mid-to-high balance point and a surprisingly light pick-up for such a powerful shape. The semi-square toe and long sweeping bow encourage front-foot dominance and big hitting — ideal for T20 and aggressive white-ball cricket. The Powercurve face delivers optimum ping and feel through the line.

The Test grade uses Grade 2 English willow — wider grain structure, possibly with minor blemishes or wavy grains, but pressed and profiled to the same exacting standards as higher Havoc grades. Performance is identical; the difference is cosmetic. Comes with an anti-scuff sheet. Requires knocking in before match use.

Yes. It comes with an anti-scuff sheet and is pre-pressed, but requires knocking in before match use. Start with light oiling, leave to dry overnight, then progress from light to heavy knocking over several sessions. Our bat preparation service handles this fully if enabled.
