Out of interest, is the 250-300 bats a day solid all year round or is that in peak times?

We try and have a flat line production all year round- which is in the region of 200 a day, but since Christmas we have had to ramp up production to meet demand.

Id imagine there was a big dip in production when you had us forum boys going around messing up everything for you.....wonky shoulder on one, badly bound handle on another! Bit of catching up to do the day after and come corrections :)

Dont listen to them about the shirt mate, its just a matter of time before they come back into fashion again...your just a decade ahead of the times for when the 80's are back in again...im digging out my shell suit as we speak!

Yes, all made in our factory in Nottingham. You know, the one where the Becks of Bats works!

Have all GM bats got the same sized edge on them according to a preset programme? Or is there different programmes for different weights or how does it work?

You can get GM+ bats in certain models and grades which are overall bigger and pick up like feathers. A team-mate has an old Icon 808+ at 2.14 and certainly doesn't feel it.

Colesy is correct. We have a standard profile for each of our 4 models, with a GM+ version in both the Icon DXM and Flare DXM, which are bigger (in profile) than the standard versions, but as the swell of these two bats is high - they pick up very well indeed.

Have picked up a few of these myself recently and found them picking up staggeringly light given the size of them.  Feel like great sticks, but alas I need all my sovs at the minute.
