Gray-Nicolls NOVA 4.0 800 Long Blade Cricket Bat
The Gray Nicolls NOVA 4.0 800 Long Blade Cricket Bat is built with the proven NOVA profile, combined with a long blade design to suit taller batters. Designed with a mid profile and light pickup, the NOVA 4.0 is an excellent option for players who like to score all around the ground.
Built for Reach and Versatility
The NOVA 4.0 800 Long Blade features a mid profile and even bow, creating a balanced sweet spot that supports a wide range of shots. The additional blade length provides extra reach at the crease, making it a popular choice for taller batters and players who prefer a longer setup.
Despite the extended blade, the bat maintains a light pickup that allows players to generate bat speed and react comfortably to varying pace and bounce. This helps when rotating strike, playing attacking strokes or adjusting to different match situations.
Large edges place more wood behind the ball for added confidence, while the rounded POWERCURVE face is designed to enhance feel through impact and create a smooth response across the blade.
Why Choose a Long Blade Cricket Bat?
A Long Blade cricket bat provides additional blade length, which can help taller players achieve a more comfortable setup at the crease.
Many players over approximately 183 cm prefer a Long Blade design because it offers extra reach while maintaining familiar handling characteristics. The NOVA 4.0 800 Long Blade combines this benefit with a profile designed for all round stroke play.
