Thanks for birthday wishes. Pads not for sale because, um, we probably didn't think anyone would want buy them! Would they?

I certainly would! Do you sell them direct?

Thanks

Kookaburra Pro Edition pads and gloves are some of the things our customers request the most. I can oocasionally get it, but it is very hit and miss.

If you had some in your trade price list, i would stock it. Well, i say stock it, i guarantee it wouldn't hang around in store for long.

There is brand identity to consider though. Unless you know what you are looking for, or get close enough to see, pro pads all look very similar due to the ICC regulations.

Interesting, many thanks for the heads up.

Kind regards

Edward

GM. Consistently stubborn.

I have enjoyed reading this thread and think its great that someone from a huge company such as GM is prepared to come on here and be as honest as he has

Personally I think the new range looks great, I don't quite get all the new faces and profiles but if GM introduce it I reckon it will aid how players play. Having bought my first GM bats this year an Epic 909 ( which I absolutely love) and an argon 606 which for �100 is an amazing bat I have found a soft spot for GM. Well done

Edwards, thanks for all the answers. Here's a blunt question for you. Why should an average club cricketer pick GM above, say, GN or Kookaburra as the company to get their money when they need a new bat?

Because we make the best cricket bats in the World in our own factory in Nottingham, England.

Come and see how we make GM bats, then ask to go and see around Grays or Kookaburra's "factories".

Kind regards

this thread makes for a interesting read and i must say as a big fan of GM i do like the different approach to 2014 kit compared to GN although i wouldn't mind seeing a classic back, as for the new faces i kinda understand it but in truth will make alot more sense when i see all 3 faces in the flesh

noticed at the beginning of the thread allot of talk about the pressing of the bats but in all honesty i like that, yes they take a little more playing in but it seems to me they last longer and as for someone who sadly cant afford to buy a bat every season its a massive plus having my gm catalyst just give up after nearly 6 seasons of abuse all year round (now have a epic 808 and love it) so don't have a problem with that at all

must say its nice to see such a big company on here explaining and answering question big thumbs up

What is the ICC regulation banning the front Logo and why is this?

Also, when you receive your willow, how are you able to tell if a cleft is storm damaged, and what do GM do with a cleft which is deemed unsuitable for making into a bat?

Hi MD

The ICC stipulate the amount of branding on pieces of cricket equipment. Why? Because they can. This limits the visible logos to one, a brand can position it where they like, and it must not exceed a certain size.

Storm damage, current you can't tell unless it fails in production. That will change. If a cleft can't make a mans bat, we will convert it to a smaller size. If it doesn't make a boys, anyone up for GM F60 Icon toothpicks?!

Kind regards

Having seen the bats in the flesh today, i have to say i really like them. The six6 is lovely the purist is also a cracking bat. I asked the rep the reasoning behind the six6 name and he did tell me. I won't say just yet i'd be interested in hearing what people think it could be for

also those new ripple grips are amazing!!

Are they going to do top of the range pads in youths this year? as being a short (No Swearing Please) i only fit youths but getting nailed by quick bowlers with not very good pads on is no fun !

909 d30 is the highest spec pad in a youth for 2014.

They do small mens in all the higher pads.
