If there was a 'do you like brown stickers' question, fewer of us would have got the Luna.

Maybe its the only way they will sell the luna...

Post by: tim2000s on January 25, 2011, 05:52:37 PM
Luna for me...

I'm guessing there are a fair few front foot on low bounce players here....

I got icon le which is funny as middle is far too high for my liking but guess it does not work for all
Title: Re: GM Bat selector
Post by: 400notout on January 25, 2011, 06:10:52 PM
Got the Luna, def more swayed towards the icon or flare though, higher middles!
Title: Re: GM Bat selector
Post by: johan95 on January 25, 2011, 06:12:44 PM
Interesting how no-one has got the flare, gonna work out how you get it as I have nothing to do for 1 and a half hours before I go for nets... :)

Managed to get the flare, by saying I play cuts and pulls and play on very high bouncing wickets :)

Luna for me on both doggy scottish wickets and norwegian astros.

On another note you'd have think they'd have finished it before it went live.

Hmm, it's almost as if they are trying to push their new 'love it or hate it slightly different and may be a complete flop if people aren't brave enough to try it' model, isn't it?

Post by: keysersolze on January 25, 2011, 06:57:46 PM
Well i got the Icon the bat i use, and i must admit i saw and picked up some lovely Flare 808 and 606 bats earlier in the week real nice and lovely light pick up, i could not believe they were 2.10 felt more like 2.6 or they were Harrow  bats!!
Title: Re: GM Bat selector
Post by: Kulli on January 25, 2011, 06:59:03 PM
Either that or we're all front foot bashers who play on crap wickets, but I get your point.

I got the Luna, which is the model i'd go for. Brown stickers and all...
Title: Re: GM Bat selector
Post by: Utters on January 25, 2011, 09:48:34 PM
That was fun! I got Icon Original which is handy because I bought an Icon Original on Saturday. Just liked the pick up and the ping off the mallet

nothing that says edge over top of clips lol
Title: Re: GM Bat selector
Post by: Buzz on January 25, 2011, 10:20:13 PM
I agree they have it all wrong,
i needed -
fav shot - hockey flick over cow corner (caught at mid on when you get it wrong)
second fav shot - hit the ball over the bowlers head
other shots cut/pull

all this hitting the ball on the ground through extra cover - i never really get bowled lovely friendly half volleys like that...
I got told I needed an Icon - to be fair it is the closist shape to my current bat
Title: Re: GM Bat selector
Post by: ProWannabe88 on January 25, 2011, 10:37:39 PM
Apex DXM apparently. I dont think so lol

Flare for me which between the icon and this are my two preferences
Title: Re: GM Bat selector
Post by: awp on January 27, 2011, 05:07:12 AM
I got Icon LE GM+......I'm assuming the GM+ start at something like 2.11 which is too heavy for me on the wickets I play on against the bowling I face.
Title: Re: GM Bat selector
Post by: TheBoyLegend on January 27, 2011, 08:44:53 AM
LUNA!! which im glad about because it was already on the shopping list for this year!

Hi all - would be very interested in your views on the Bat Selector. We believe this to be an industry leading bit of tech.

It is of course 100% perfect in every respect. Meanwhile back here on Planet Earth, if you have any suggestions / observations, we would be very interested in your views how to enhance / correct / improve it.

Best to all

Edward

Post by: Buzz on January 28, 2011, 01:36:37 PM
Hi Edward - I think it is a good idea and to be fair it when I had a go it came back with the bat in the most similar shape to the one I play with now. I think a lot of people are disappointed with the branding of the Luna - and thus aren't all that happy when it gets selected for them
I think you should allow for the I like the moo to leg shot though as it is a very important shot at club level, which everyone plays!! ;)

It's a fascinating tool, the only thing I'd like to see is a little brief explanation at the end as to why that bat may suit your style of play. Obviously there's a limit in terms of technology as to what it can say but something at the end. And perhaps an explanation as to why Graeme Smith, Trott or the another pro has opted to use that bat.

I'd second that. I have no idea what the Luna profile is, and I was being lazy and couldn't be bothered to find out, but it would be interesting to see something showing you why xxxx bat suits you!

Great tool and is certainly a step in the right direction. It's great that your looking for feedback, and will hopefully act on it. My thoughts:-

1. Wasn't sure what value the "shots you have trouble with" part added. It's as much a technique/ability issue as bat choice.
2. As others have mentioned, a brief explanation of how the chosen bat meets the criteria would be useful.

One other general observation was that no T20 option exists, the big edge options are to heavy for many of us for this form of cricket.

Good stuff.
