Title: GM Siren 404
Post by: Tom_90 on January 06, 2020, 02:59:29 PM
Popped into my local cricket shop today to buy some new pads with some christmas money. I had no intention of buying a bat and yet here we are.

It was perfect weight, and i think a steal at £80! I couldn't leave it behind

initial impressions are good, seems a little hard, but a bit of mallet time and winter nets should see to that!

picks up at its weight i would say. this one is 2'11. looking forward to using it!

Have they bleached out a butterfly stain or is it European willow? Either way lovely bat. Well done.

Theres a bit of wobble in the grains about half way down, some kind of graping or stain?  may or may not have been bleached, not sure how you tell!

It’s got a cleaner face than some g1 bats I’ve had!

404 is bleached willow so I think you may be ingot something there. That stair near the middle does have a butterfly like look to it, but a lovely bat for £80 none the less.
