More than that 

We have no particular volume expectation of Players Edition bats, we have released them to the market (a) because we can & (b) because someone might, on a good day, want to buy one. (Well not Canners or Peplow by the sounds of things).

We launched them to the trade on September 8th.

Kind regards

SO would you say they are mainly made to order?

Edward, any chance of GM making a bit thicker handles or you guys will be sticking to what you have right now?

He's plugged cricket insight as well aha

Oh cripes, should I not have done that?

Admin, admin, I'm ready for you, not the big whip this time please

Technically they are made for stock, not MTO. We can do this because of the DXM process which ensures consistency of production.

No specific plans - what are the pros & cons in your view?

Good question.

So if they are made for stock, there must be a predicted sales target? Or would these go to the relavtive players if they are not sold?

Personally I prefer smaller handles, and width can be added onto a handle through grips - a lot more effort goes into decreasing width.

I'm intrigued by the argument that there is very little difference between an Original L.E. and a GM Players bat.
What would you say the differences, if there are any, between the two are?

I personally feel the handles are a bit on thinner side, especially the middle of the handle looks quite thin compared to top and bottom.

Also would it be possible for GM to state weight of pro bats?

I might have a punt at Watsons Flare as I heard it is around 2.9ish, is that true?

Yes there is a forecast, but I don't have it to hand. We tend to make bats in batches and, like all manufacturers, seek to match supply with demand

What argument is that exactly?

Looking at that vid, Smith's Luna looks absolutely hench!!! Big fan of that profile. Has he decided that he wants to go Epic now though and does that mean that the bat is surplus to requirements?

[Canners]

That would be up there with str8bats review of bats

If Smith doesn't need his own Luna anymore I'll happily take it off his hands - and I won't even charge
