Intro

I brought this bat in VKS, Ealing. I went there with some friends to have a look around and spend some money which I had recieved for my birthday. They shop is pretty small but had lots and lots of cricket equipment at the back. I began to look through the bats and was drawn towards the GMs. I picked up a few 808s but they were all to heavy for me so I decided to have a look at the L.Es and well I found a real gem of a bat.

Price

Ok it was alot of money and yes I know I could of got this and that etc. but this bat just felt made for me. I payed �260 for it but I believe it was worth it.

Looks

The bat has 14 straight grains and came with Gm Now. Has a small blemish near the toe.

Performance

I took the bat to the nets the next day and wow. This bat pinged. All my shots just seemed to go with minimal effort. Also I felt I could play all the strokes as it was nice and light (2'6) whereas my bat before was a hefty 2'10. Yet to really see performance in a game as I batted rather awfully the other night.

Overall

Great invesment. Its light, it pings, it looks amazing. Has a great pick up and well what more could you want !

That really does look awesome mate, some GM's I've seen this season have been stunners.

Another gm that loks good seen a lot of them recently. Still seems a lot of money to pay for me but i'm sure the performance of the bat will be worth it.

seems to have one HULK sized spine/profile. good stuff
I guess being an LE, its probably less dense, so lighter in weight

Gm le's defo seem to have the best grains out of anything, they all look lush but this years ones are really pale

Looks great but i wouldn't expect anything less at �260

I'd personally rather have a c6+ model or a custom and still save some cash.

I actually agree with viv but that bat is a beauty!

VIVIAN · « **Reply #13 on:** July 03, 2008, 09:51:14 AM »

Yeah no doubting that, and isn't actually Heartwood by the toe not a blemish ...

I partially agree with you vivian but this bat looks so nice i would probably pay that price if i had the money
