Got a GM Noir Original LE from VKS and it’s probably the best performing bat I’ve seen . Already scored 121 runs with my first innings with it ( pace bowlers balling around 80 mph) . Solid start to the season . Has 10 straight parallel grains , despite 0.5/10 grains being heartwood which doesn’t take anything away from the bat . The bat weight is 2’10 but picks up like a 2’7.5-2.8 . Very impressed 😍
