Gray-Nicolls Nova 4.0 800 Gem Cricket Bat

Gray-Nicolls NOVA 4.0 800 GEM Cricket Bat

The Gray Nicolls NOVA 4.0 800 GEM Cricket Bat is designed specifically for female cricketers and youth players who want a cricket bat that suits their size, strength and style of play. Whether you're playing club cricket, school cricket or representative cricket, the GEM range provides a more comfortable fit without compromising performance.

The GEM range has been specially resized for women's and youth cricket, featuring a slightly lighter weight and a narrower handle to improve control, comfort and bat speed.

Classic NOVA shape

The NOVA 4.0 800 GEM features the same balanced NOVA profile that has made the range popular with players who value timing, control and versatile shot making.

Its mid profile and even bow create a balanced sweet spot that performs across a wide range of strokes. From front foot drives to back foot scoring shots, the shape supports confident batting in all formats of the game.

The lighter overall weight helps players generate bat speed more easily, while the narrower handle provides a more natural grip for smaller hands. This can improve comfort during longer innings and help players maintain control when playing attacking shots.

Large edges add confidence at the crease, while the rounded POWERCURVE face is designed to enhance feel through impact and promote smooth ball striking.

GEM

One of the biggest challenges many female and youth cricketers face is using equipment designed around traditional adult sizing. The GEM range addresses this by offering a cricket bat specifically developed for players who benefit from a lighter pickup and reduced handle size.

The result is a cricket bat that feels more manageable without losing the performance characteristics players expect from the NOVA range.
