Gray-Nicolls Vector 650 Cricket Bat
The Gray Nicolls Vector 650 Cricket Bat is designed for cricketers who want a powerful yet easy to handle cricket bat straight from the shelf. Suitable for club cricketers, school players and developing batters, it delivers strong performance across training sessions and match play.
Featuring Gray Nicolls PLAY NOW preparation, this cricket bat has been pressed, oiled and hand knocked in at the factory, helping players get on the field sooner while still following recommended bat care practices.
Built for Power Across the Blade
The Vector 650 is engineered to produce power throughout the hitting area. Its extended spine runs towards the toe, helping maintain performance across a larger section of the blade and providing confidence when playing a variety of attacking and defensive shots.
The mid profile creates a versatile sweet spot, while the slight bow allows the bat to come through smoothly. Combined with a feather light pickup, the Vector 650 feels quick in the hands and easy to manoeuvre against varying bowling speeds.
Generous edges place more wood behind the ball, while the rounded POWERCURVE face enhances feel through impact and promotes clean ball striking.
PLAY NOW Preparation
The Vector 650 features Gray Nicolls PLAY NOW technology, meaning the bat has been professionally pressed, oiled and hand knocked in before leaving the factory.
While the bat is ready for use, we still recommend using it against older cricket balls during several net sessions before facing a new ball in match conditions. This helps maximise performance and long term durability.

What is Gray Nicolls PLAY NOW technology?
PLAY NOW means the cricket bat has been pressed, oiled and hand knocked in by Gray Nicolls before purchase, allowing players to begin using the bat sooner than a standard bat.

Yes. The bat is prepared and ready for use. However, for best results, Gray Nicolls recommends using older cricket balls during several net sessions before facing a new ball in a match.
What are the benefits of the feather light pickup?
A feather light pickup helps improve bat speed, manoeuvrability and reaction time, making it easier to adjust to different bowling styles and conditions.
