Title: GM 2023 Range
Post by: The Cricket Boutique on December 16, 2022, 10:25:24 AM
Managed to grab a few of the latest bats to have a look at pre-xmas as they had all gone prior to this and my taking over at TCB.

Those that follow me on Instagram will have seen them but at £125 for a 404 they represent great value for a UK made bat if you're on a budget of simply want to see if the profile suits you without going for some of the higher grades.

As a little promo you get a FREE Ayrtek Bobble hat if ordering one today via the webshop.

Great bats and of course pricing in your decision and business but it seems you have the most expensive 404 in the country ..for sale

@The Cricket Boutique thanks for sharing - what has been your favourite of the new ranges, and what has been your initial thought on them? Have gone into a few shops, and my general feel is...


Kryos - nicest stickers, a little wasted on the profile really. Feel that anything a little more modest in size should be an L555, just as a general feel when looking at the bat. But understand they've to try hit target weights, and SBLH setup helps, but as with the Prima, feel more traditional styles should be standard SH blade.


Hypa - best performing across the range from ones I've seen and tapped up. Lovely thick handle, and have warmed to the stickers. Pick ups have been good with that thick handle. Yet to see one where I've thought crickey, that's definitely a 37mm edge and 61mm spine and wow - but very solid across the grades.


Brava - seen one that I've liked, which was an LE grade. Rest have just felt pretty underwhelming... Not sure if it is down to just how the flat face feels when made at GM, as I seem to recall having that same issue with a lot of the F2 bats like the Zona and Octane. (Some were very nice indeed, but most I found felt too hard) Best shape of the range, wish they just went with the F4.5 face and accepted they'd be heavier personally, but maybe the clefts aren't cut big enough to accommodate that...

Saw the range fully yesterday

Brava looks good probably needs time to play in and then make a full judgment

Hypa looks decent too

Due for a new bat this coming season, in the new range what's the closest shape to the previous mana? Favourite shape from gm

I imagine the six or sticks approach to batting will resonate with a lot of club cricketers

Has anyone tried the GM OLE WK gloves with the weird sticky palms? I'm fascinated by them.
