Gunn and Moore Icon DXM Original L.E.
« on: May 30, 2012, 03:57:45 PM »
I got one of these bats for my birthday last year and it snapped in August, I then got it repaired and GM sent it back. It has now fully snapped down the middle. I have previously had 4 GM's that have done the same. What is wrong with GM??

Are you using good quality balls?
How do you store your bats during winter?
If it has happened to your bats so many times - it can't be just bad luck.

I am mainly using Dukes balls around £4 and they don't wear out easily. I store my bat in my cricket bag which lives under my bed most of the time.

Do you oil/knock them in properly. 5 bats all doing the same sounds far too many to be a coincidence tbh. Also, if you had already broke 4 GM bats why did you then decide to get a really expensive GM bat? Did you not think of moving onto another brand instead?

It could be down to a fault in the willow but I would say the main problem is the fact your using £4 balls on a £300 bat which is never a clever idea!
how much knocking in did you do and did you play it in against old balls?

Quite - £4 Dukes balls are Bat Breakers, and no amount of knocking in is going to change that...
