[CUSTOM-BATS]

GM officially launched their 2014 range today and I was lucky enough to be there.  As you would expect, not a radical overhaul, but some interesting new changes:
- 2 new bats: Purist and Six6
- GM F-Tech choice of face curvature
- new ripple grip
- new blue colourway on all luggage; 707 wheelie increased in size to fit a full size bat inside; Original Easi-Load wheelie now has 2 single bat pockets on the outside
- design and protection improvements for several ranges of pads and gloves; discrete colour detail introduced
- stripper like thigh pad set

A few pics to follow

I'm guessing the six6 is gonna be some kind of t20 hybrid bat. Unsure if extreme like the nemesis though.



Have the bags improved in quality? I've always thought gms bags to be poor,



Looking forward to the pics.

I might need that Purist

I was wrong on the six6 lol.

Like the shape, stickers are awful zona ones.

Not really - it's not a short blade, if that's what you meant. Both have extended sweet spots, with the Purist having offset edges. Both feel very nice in the hand.

Also hope the Icon stickers haven't changed. Need to send mine back but will think twice if they have

Ripple grips - very very nice! I think this will be a huge seller

All the stickers have changed, but not drastically

Really like the look of those grips  . The six6 profile looks nice , but those stickers are just ugly though  .

F-Tech face curvatures - 3 different curvatures available, butnot in all the models:

Ive seen those grips on Indian made bats from last year

[Six Sixes Cricket]

So that six6 must of weighed 2-7 to be classed as a big bat?

[LEACHY48]

not really considering there seems to be minimal concaving and it has quite big edges...

What bat is this in the corner with the Zona like stickers Mr Custom-Bats?

There are 3 icons to the left of your picture, the ones with the white/black grip
