Gray-Nicolls NOVA 4.0 1200 Long Blade Cricket Bat
The Gray-Nicolls NOVA 4.0 1200 Long Blade Cricket Bat is designed for taller batters who need additional blade length without sacrificing pickup or control. Built for competitive club, premier and representative cricket, it suits players who want a versatile cricket bat capable of performing across all formats.
Whether you're batting on club wickets, representative grounds or school first XI surfaces around New Zealand, the NOVA 4.0 Long Blade delivers a balanced feel that supports confident shot making all around the wicket.
Designed for All Round Performance
The NOVA 4.0 features a mid profile and even bow, creating a balanced pickup that feels light in the hands despite the extended blade length. This helps taller players maintain bat speed and react comfortably to different lengths and bowling styles.
Large edges provide greater confidence when contact is not perfectly centred, while the rounded Powercurve face enhances the feel of stroke play through the hitting area. The result is clean ball striking, controlled shot execution and consistent performance throughout an innings.
For players who value timing and placement as much as boundary hitting, the NOVA 4.0 Long Blade offers the versatility needed for modern cricket.
Why Choose a Long Blade Cricket Bat?
A long blade cricket bat is designed for taller players who prefer extra reach at the crease. The longer blade can help maintain a comfortable setup and natural batting position without compromising balance.
The NOVA 4.0 Long Blade retains the light pickup that has made the NOVA range popular while providing the additional blade length many taller batters look for.
