The 404 was picked purely on looks, and the GN Oblivion e41 was just really impressive off the mallet! Both were purchased from the local cricket store. I only went in because I had a little time to kill before my next train, and I ended up in there for an hour and a half...

Hahaha. You happened to be an hour and a half early for your train mate??? :D
That 404 looks like a bargain. Really like the SIX6 profile.

What weight is the 404 mate??
I've got one that's about 2lb10 and it pings like mad, bargain bat if yours is the same!

Haha, the train comes every half hour, so I kept saying I'll just get the next one. :-[ The Six6 is a lovely profile, not a huge spine, but a very evenly distributed playing area. :)

Hi Cam, it is 2.11! :) 'Who has the better GM Six6 404? Only one way to find out. Fight! :D' I always think of someone when I see a specific bat, dunno why, but the Six6 has stuck to you rather Joe Root in my mind... I spend far too much time on this forum haha!
This 404 definitely performs, wouldn't say pings like mad as it wasn't the best GM in the shop. A 707 played better and picked up better, (Also lighter, but didn't look as good grain wise) but at £60 more, I couldn't really see the point in picking out a Six6 which played a little better from the start, seeing as all GMs (And most other bats) improve differently over time. The GN was a different story though, just couldn't let the bat go after picking it up and testing with a mallet. Also helped that the stickers looked good on both models, stickers really do sell bats! When I first walked into the shop, the first bat I went to pick up was a Puma Chromium, just because the stickers looked flashy, and were nice. 8) Also cost me less to get both these bats in a store which sells at RRP, than an online store, which helped me make my decision. ;)
