GM are always the last to confirm anything. They keep things very closely guarded and even asked some websites to take down leaked images last year.

I've seen evidence of a Purist and a Maestro, but no word on whether they will be in the UK market.

The Purist seemed really good with a better pick-up than either the Argon or the Octane F2 (both there as well) in my opinion - I also liked the shape in the flesh more that I thought I would from some pics I saw on another thread here. One thing that was completely different was the grip it seemed thicker with very different patterning I liked it a lot and it seemed to make the handle feel thicker which I think is a plus vs some of the other new GMs which recently have had thinner handles. The new Watson ICON is a simply beautiful bat - it does not have the standard ICON shape, it has a completely convex or domed back but it does have a mid-high middle I think, very big edges without being flat-faced I'm pretty sure from memory (there were some ICON F2 in the shop as well so I'll need to check but am fairly positive it had a traditional face). You could buy the bats in the shop but these 2 were not displayed online when I checked. I really like GM equipment and have been quite impressed with how innovative they have been over the last couple of seasons, however, I don't understand why they dumped the Halo it was a great bat and kept other models which seem too similar - the EPIC/ICON too similar and the ARGON F2/OCTANE F2 again too similar.
