The scorecard
Power
6/10
A 300mm apex gives little away free.
Reception
9/10
Flattest face here. Hardest to fumble.
Reverse
9/10
Enlarged low backhand zone does real work.
Aerials
5/10
Least rake in the range. Small target.
Feel
8/10
Rear power groove steadies a mis-hit.
The verdict
The flattest thing Grays put a GR badge on, and the one that asks least of you. First touch and a big reverse face; nothing at the top end.
Buy it if
- You are learning the core skills
- You play at the back
- You want a forgiving first touch
Skip it if
- You take the drag flicks
- You want power from the stick
- You already own a low bow
