Happy Birthday Edward. Really like the original LE and original softs. As for the bats, my fav shape is the Octane. For those who have used it, how is the pickup of the bat?

Firstly, happy birthday Edward  :)

As for the bats, my fav shape is the Octane. For those who have used it, how is the pickup of the bat?

I have a hobbit size octane and the pickup is lovely, but as its about 2lb10 fully dressed with 2 and a half grips it would be haha

Really don't understand why there is 2 types of stickers...
Makes for a disjointed range of bats

Do you mean in terms of the specification of logo size / number?

Kind regards

Edward

Yes the logo I understand the icc laws but why not sell the exact same pad without the stripes down the side although I have seen the new le original very very nice

Oh where my manors happy birthday

Hey Edward, been a big fan of GM for years. Really like the stickers with the embossed GM Logo on the purist, octane, argon etc. Not as much of a fan of the zona/six 6 ones but they are still nice. Think last years and this years versions are the best i've seen for quite some time.
My all time favorites were the circa 93-95 with the red original trim and grip.
Any plans to bring back the cannon, maestro, diamond or autograph anytime in the future.

Keep up the great work.

Cheers

Personally I prefer the ones that are on the Argon, epic, 2013 icon etc. and not the Zona, Six6 and 2014 Icon, like the more traditional look

I haven't met anyone who prefers the Zona style ones, but maybe I'm too old to hang around with the cool kids anymore. I presumed they were mainly designed for a bit more exposure in the subcontinent market where giant Logos seem to be the norm, and I guess make the brand more easily identifiable, but maybe it's the case that in 1-2 season I'll see them as the 'standard' GM sticker and be complaining on here when you scrap them for something else.

For now though it reminds me a bit much of the Newbery Tomohawk stickers, which I also haven't got much time for.

Is it only the flatter faced bats that have the 'F' part of the name running down the spine, I have a teammate who bought a beautiful Icon but I though having ICON F2 on the back didn't look a clean as just Icon as previously but I saw a photo of this years Argon (which I think has both 'extreme' face options) and it just said 'Argon'.
