Jon - did say pickup could be a reason for bigger edges at the top as well as durability.

Mattw - yes, Luna has a great pickup, though the concaving in the middle helps.

Did anyone have then chance to play with a Luna? Really felt nice in the hands and the pick up on them were lovely.

I used a Luna 808, was going to buy it of my friend, however, when I netted with it it felt horrible. I'm not sure whether it was me not finding the middle (because of the scoops?), but it felt really tinny and dead. It did had a compression crack, but then again so does my Talisman that goes and feels wonderful.

related note - can we rename this thread GM 2012 Product Discussion and stick it under the GM Forum.

I think that would make sense.

Well to me the Flare/1885/Halo all look quite similar.

Fair point, but I suppose to counter that they would argue that 10 years ago when nearly all bats were 'traditional', most models were fairly similar.

I can see differences in all three, but by their nature they are similar. I suppose that is a gamble in some respects, but they have certainly proven they know how to make desirable bats.

I think they're very similar Jon, in fact so similar that I think you'll have difficulties telling them apart except for the stickers once you pick a few up.

I think you'll notice the difference only when you try and play a ball with them all...

The Epic reminds me of the Hero, but with more consistent edges from the shoulder down. But then side on it does look virtually identical to the Apex, as someone's already noted.

Flare seem to have highest swell position, 1885 mid and Halo low so I see a difference there.

I love 1885 colour scheme.
