just in case anyone is still not sure why GM changed the stickers, this picture speaks a thousand words...

Thanks Buzz. Great shot - with the willow and the shutter!

Kind regards

I'd love to see one of the six6 bats in the flesh and wave it around to get a feel for the bat. They look pretty special, but I have a soft spot for GM.

I have tried the new grip, amazing, and I don't think its one to harm gloves!

Saw Read was using the Six6 in his innings today. I have to admit, I've not been a fan of the new style GM stickers, but having seen how much they stuck out during Read's innings I completely understand the decision - the G and M really do pop out.

I might be one of very few on the forum, but I think the new direction in sticker design GM have taken is fantastic, bold, simple and clear-cut branding. Personally I believe that as long as Edward and the other fine people at Gunn and Moore continue their tradition of creating reliably performing and durable bats, they'd have to stick something pretty offensive on them to stop me from considering them being up there as one of the best... Even then I'd probably peel 'em off and continue to crash balls to the fence!  :D

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 !

The difference between youth and small mens on GM pads is 0.5cm

Small Mens 42.5 cm

Youths 42.0 cm

Measurements are from the middle of kneeroll to the top of the instep.

Folk may be interested in the new 808 pad, new compact construction.

I've just seen that there are 10 different pads in the range.  Clearly, it's not just the bat faces that are confusing with GM!

Isn't it normally about that many anyway?

Far too many for us! Newbery have 7, Salix have 5, M&H have 3, Hammer have 2.  That's much more like it for me!

I think there is a little difference in the size of the companies.

Still, 10 price options for pads is crazy in my eyes.  Again, going back to what I said earlier in the thread, if I wanted to stock the brand and do it justice, we should take most, if not all, and even finding room to store decent stock of ten pads is a nightmare! And then, where would all the other pads go??

I understand, but not many retailers will stock all 10 pads in all the size/dexterity combinations. They'll pick and choose, assuming they wish to stock GM
