I used nick in the past to get me top quality bats and boy did he get me a superb bat with 21 grains I let the pictures do the talking

Ah right, so this is the special GM you were talking about! These are the GMs for the Indian market, right? The profile reminds me of the Argon a bit.

Yes I spoke with Steve wilkinson from gm and he said the bats made in India are meant for aus and sa nz so had a bit off luck with it as its a stunning bat very pleased with it

You definitely won't like that bat Simon, in fact to save the aggro of knocking in and netting with it to find out I'll happily take it off your hands now.
I'm only offering as a favour to you

What's the pressing like on this, how does it compare to the UK made GM's?

The uk bats take a lot off time to play in tapping the ball up on this the response is very good I would say the uk ones are made to last a few years and the Indian ones will perform from ball one but might not last as long

Since when did GM have English Willow bats made in India?

Thanks for that, how does the finishing compare as well?

Looks like there's a nasty dent on the back or it is me, does it have much concaving?

For a few years now they have licensed out production of bats sold in the subcontinental market to a factory in India, these bats don't carry the DXM logo which refers to GM's CAD and CAM process. I'm not sure the info about bats made for SA, NZ & Aus being produced in India is correct.

When i visited GM i saw a number of bats boxed and ready to go, i was told they were going to SA.

Also, every bat i can see on the Aussie retail websites carries the DXM logo and also a made in England sticker.

Strange bat indeed. Certainly has lovely grains.

But the profile is nothing like an octane, more an ss ton with gm stickers

A guy called Steve wilkinson said to me that the factory in India make bats for the Southern Hemisphere so that's the information he gave me

They are not bad but not as good as the uk finishing and it has got a dent in the spine dam postman

DMX logos! I knew there was something different about this bat's stickers but I couldn't put my finger on it
