GM Chrome and Neon 808
« on: February 10, 2017, 11:21:21 PM »
Got this GM Chrome 808 from talent cricket

2-9.5
16 grains
Pings very well
Nice thick handle
40 mm edges

I am really impressed with 2017 GM bats. The bat feels so good. Pressing, pickup and willow quality all great.










Another lovely GM from @VKS
Neon 808
very nice grains
2-8.5
Long middle and pings nice

Enjoy the pics












GM highly recommended for this year

How does the neon feel? Was tossing up between getting a mana or neon just couldn't decide.

My neon is also an 808 and it's great. Love,y balance and really packs a punch. I would say it has a longer middle than a mana, potentially, but really just go for which stickers you prefer.

neon has great pickup. I have not seen mana so cannot compare. I am preferring the chrome over neon just because it pings little better than the neon.
