Post by: nick123 on June 03, 2013, 08:36:43 AM: Stickers look average ( Colours wise) but the profile will hopefully make up for it.

Yeah, seems a bit of a waste of time tbh, likely to be a totally different profile, and hideous modern stickers with no resemblance to the original. Don't really like GN's retro efforts much but they've done it much better than GM seem to be doing at least.

Post by: lukemannionzimbabwe on June 03, 2013, 09:26:53 AM: So possibly for next season GM are going back completely , we have just had news on the purist, now this ! I wonder if they will do diamond next or something ?
Title: Re: GM Maestro out for 2013/14
Post by: Kulli on June 03, 2013, 09:30:19 AM: Probably do it without the diamond shaped part!

Post by: mr_wickets on June 03, 2013, 10:32:46 AM: Whats the F2 about?
Title: Re: GM Maestro out for 2013/14
Post by: Kulli on June 03, 2013, 10:34:27 AM: It's do do with the new flatter faces, the F2 bats have only 2mm difference between the edges and the highest point of the face, and the F7's(I think) have a more traditional 7mm difference.
