Title: Gunn and Moore original Flare + 2.8Lb
Post by: keysersolze on April 04, 2011, 11:25:48 AM

Hi All, I got hold of a GM Flare Original + two months ago. It weighs 2.8Lb and feels like a 2.6Lb bat in your hands. Before some smart ass says you can't buy a GM Flare Original + that weighs 2.8Lb your right. So read into that what you like as to how and where i got the bat. It has an amazing feel and balance to it and feels like your waving a wand around and when you connect with any ball it just flies. This is going to be a boundary smasher. I have had it in the nets against 90mph balls, against fast, medium, swing and spin bowlers and it just beats them all away. It has 6 wavy grains is not a pretty bat but just feels so good in the hand it gives you a lot more confidence when playing shots. GM in my limited opinion are making some superb bats at the moment and i cant reccomend them highly enough or at least the Flare range if this Plus is anything to go by.

I think your right about GM at the moment. All of the Originals and LE that have been shown on here look really top quality. I havent seen one in the flesh yet but love the look of the Luna's. Just cant justify the price tags for one of the top ones though.....

Nice looking bat Perry maybe next time you should ask for the middle under the splice (how many bola marks)

Top bat matey

Yeah i know Dave thinking about that as i am a short ass who bends at the knees a lot in my stance and the balls have been pinging up around ears and i love a high middle but the lad on the bowling machine has been trying to clobber me i think and they were new bowling machine balls that always seem to mark the bat a lot for the first few hundred or so.
