Title: Guess the grade- GM Chrome
Post by: Tom_90 on May 30, 2018, 06:35:41 PM

Popped into my local cricket shop this lunchtime, just for a look. Unfortunately, things are never that simple and I came away with this....(hopefully the pics work)

2lb9.5, wanted something lighter as my current bat is a 3lb Aussie GN Velocity

the two side by side

Very impressed with the GM, I actually had a chrome signature last year and it felt a bit hard, GM seemed to have really nailed their pressing this year, seems to tap up just as well as the velocity.

So... anyone want to guess what grade it is?  :D

Heartwood, GM seem to hate heartwood when they grade their bats

My guess is 404

It's an 808

I couldn't believe it. I think it looks great for a G2!

GM downgrade so far for more than 40% heartwood so 404 is my guess
