Title: Another stunning bat to the collection!
Post by: essexarsenal on March 10, 2011, 09:38:10 PM

Right, GM L.E Icon arrived today. I bought it from Mapperly sports who were fantastic and very helpful.  It weighs 2lb 9, and is simply amazing. Very busy at the moment so cant tell you more than that but will let the pictures do the talking - and yes my photography skills are rubbish!

I heard Mapperley sports get some of the best GM bats as they are based in Nottingham - does anyone know if this is true? Perhaps Edward could clarify? Though that looks a top bat mate, hope you get on well with it :D

If you look closely, you can see the cutter path of the CNC milling machine on the back  8)

(Purely cosmetic, no reason for alarm!)

I'd consider that to be poor finishing.should be sanded out.
